Dragons V Eagles Stats?

[Dragons2005]

ok i gave a manly fan a bit of a G up in MSN and he linked me to there teams home page. http://www.oneeyedeagle.com/Main.asp they have us listed as getting 9 penalties to there 3! isnt it the other way around? LOL
are they in denial?

Manly got 9 penalties, Saints got 3.

Direct your mate to the NRL stats.

 

[Dragons2005]

Yeah i did but he seems to think the Eagles site is right. LOL god love him.

 

[Willow]

I hope you have a bet riding on this LOL.

Tell him to watch the match.

If all fails, mention the stats 36-10

Sent 'em a message with the relevant info.

 

[Dragons2005]

Nice work. make sure you let us know there reply lol

Got one already, the webmaster promptly and politely informed me that he lists them as they are given, tallies them to the side that conceeded the penalty.

Which if you think about it makes sense, as the team who get penalised should "get the penalty."

THe funny thing was everyone on the hill at Sook-vale having mini bets on when the next Manly penalty would be blown.

Tackle 4 & 5 were particularly popular choices.

I am most surprised that it was only 9 against. Clark's performance was Russell Smith-esque...

Well that's against the grain and obviously bound to cause confusion, as Dragos2005's mate has found.

I think only Clark could come out with that performance, Smith means well, he just doesn't do well.
I was waiting for Saints getting penalised for holding the ball, or moving forwards.
I honestly think all the calls against us were fair, it was the lack of penalties against Manly that bugged me.

Definately, just because it makes a sort of sense doesn't mean that it should be used as opposed to the system the rest of the world uses.

Meanwhile on the official Manly site, they don't bother with the differential column. That way they can falsify their position on the NRL ladder:

Must be a Manly thing....


Taken from the NRL forum. Thanks to Innsaneink.

HAHA good work Willow. yeah they seem to lead there fans astray!
personally i think it is a stupid thing to do.
i only picked up on this once this Manly supporter seemed to get fired up after i told him there website was displaying the wrong (misleading) information.
Let them Dream it is all good till it comes to finals time.

Looking at the REAL ladder sahows just how much dropping the Wastes Tigers game at home cost us...
