Different ways to look at premiership tallies

[The_Frog]

So much easier to just list win percentages, and (arguably) more a true measure of on-field success.

Melbourne 63.1
St George 60.7
Brisbane 60.0
Manly 58.0
Glebe 55.9
Roosters 54.9
Souths 53.2
Balmain 53.1
Bulldogs 52.1
Raiders 51.6
StGeorge-Illawarra 50.1
Sharks 49.3
Knights 48.1
Eels 47.3
Newtown 46.9
Panthers 45.7 (we were around 38 just a few short years ago, a really dismal first 15 years or so)
Warriors 45.6
Newcastle (1908-9) 45.00
Wests Magpies 44.9
Wests Tigers 43.1
North Sydney Bears 42.9
Cowboys 41.7
Titans 40.5
Illawarra 40.2
Western/Perth Reds 40.2
Northern Eagles 40.1
Hunter Mariners 38.9
Adelaide Rams 32.1
Gold Coast Giants/Seagulls/Chargers 23.4
Crushers 20.8
University 20.5
Annandale 18.3
Cumberland 12.5

Here is my problem with this. We have also had many years with 8 team comps, 10 team comps etc. Your likelihood of winning in those years is greatly enhanced due to the number of teams in the comp. It's not really a good comparison of the actual likelihood of winning. Makes Melbournes winning run much more impressive.

So the weightings of premierships should reflect that. 8 team comp 12.5% chance of winning. 16 team comp 6.25% chance of winning. A lot more work to work it out. But that's the reality of it.

Yes, I took that into account.

A tally is a list. A tallie is a coolloquial term for a (mostly) 750ml beer bottle (also known as a longneck).

Garbo stubby is also acceptable

You did, but the plural of tally is tallies anyway, and it definately wouldn't have an apostrophe.

Here endeth the English lesson.

Perhaps we should only be talking about NRL era (or the ARL era starting in 95) if we’re counting premierships and while pre-95/98 is acknowledged, it should be seen as similar to the BRL premierships

Yes, that is when the NSWRL became a second tier comp and the ARL comp became the first tier comp. So this would give us a premiership tally of:

Brisbane 4
Sydney 4
Melbourne 4
Manly 3
Newcastle 2
Canterbury 2
Penrith 2
Wests Tigers 1
St George Illawarra 1
South Sydney 1
North QLD 1
Cronulla 1

Yep, I agree, this is how it should technically look for tally’s while at the same time acknowledging the BRL/NSWRL premierships separately.

Yep then just do +1 or whatever for nswrl or brl titles.

Reading some of the nonsense on here it appears many would want To erase Don Bradman from the record books or get rid of a Phar Lap as well

 

[firechild]

I like this page. It helps to highlight the morons on LU that agree with the idea that the plural of tally (or any word) should have an apostrophe.

And people who correct other people's grammar while using words such as "definately"

This could be your IBM moment

They had to merge because they couldn't afford to compete as a single entity, they were given a huge grant for merging. They went cap in hand to the Roosters but that would've been a takeover by the Roosters not a merger and the Saints fans kicked up a huge stink.

This.
