I don't buy into that. My comment was more his innate ability to get in the way and ruin the flow of matches with his overly pedantic approach to refereeing. Not what you want for a game like this. That and he talks to players like they're pond scum. Can't stand him as a referee.

Penrith have only once this season had a score of over 19 points (v Sharks) against us which was V Storm 37-10.

This score of Souths putting 26 on us, has me somewhat baffled.

Ok a couple of things I can attribute to that;

1. It's not the top 1-17 that Penrith have named, their full-strength team is much stronger with To'o and JFH named. 2021 Penrith have all-time top defense stats, but a couple of big players are missing in this simulation.

2. Souths just broke a record for most consecutive 30+ points in NRL history (8). They're also on pace to be the second or third best attacking team of all-time.

That's how it's come to that scoreline, at least part of it. We shall see how it goes! But I do want to say if the team that runs out is different for Panthers then I expect the simulation result to be quite different.

I'd say JFH and TPJ will come in at the expense of Hopgood and Eisenhuth. It would be interesting to what difference that makes in the sim. The ones I've followed since you started posting them seem to be fairly accurate result wise. I havent paid that much attention to the actual scorelines.

We gave up 26 vs the Tigers but that was with an horrendously depleted side. Nothing like the one that will take the field Friday.

The fact that two or maybe even three teams are on track to beat the former record this year, especially in points per game, must surely tell you something. It has been made easier to score points, so you're comparing apples with oranges.

Appreciate the feedback but I know what I’m accounting for, and apple, oranges and bananas are being factored into it.

Oh, I didn't realise it was a simulation. I have noticed them before, but not taken any notice except for the scorelines. What is it's progress since it has been applied?

For those that were curious, here's a full strength Panthers vs full strength Rabbitohs.. As you can see, across 100 simulations these teams are fairly even, the real ladder suggests just as much thus far this season.
