Eels v Week One Finals Team List Thread

[Gary Gutful]

That is great work gutful. You even bolded the top teams. Probably the most creative, thought provoking, well set out piece of work I have ever seen on this forum. The fact that it mean sweet f**k all is neither here nor there. Outstanding

Yep.

Good formatting can sometimes compensate for lack of substance.

Pou is inventing statistics now.

I am pretty sure the bunker is currently being installed in Cameron Smith's spare room as we speak. His wife and family will be in charge of the red and green button this week. Don't worry - they will be fair and impartial.

should i be worried that the red button has an eels logo and the green button has a storm logo?

 

[Eelogical]

Dreamt last night we won 30-18. When we score tries they will have to be with no possibility of the refs or Bunker imagining things to not award. They will be doing their best to make up something.

and then you woke up stuck to the sheet.

You asked and I have delivered.

I weighted wins as follows:

Beat 1st placed team - 8 points
Beat 2nd placed team - 7.5 points
Beat 3rd placed team - 7 points
Beat 4th placed team - 6.5 points
Beat 5th placed team - 6 points
Beat 6th placed team - 5.5 points
Beat 7th placed team - 5 points
Beat 8th placed team - 4.5 points
Beat 9th placed team - 4 points
Beat 10th placed team - 3.5 points
Beat 11th placed team - 3 points
Beat 12th placed team - 2.5 points
Beat 13th placed team - 2 points
Beat 14th placed team - 1.5 points
Beat 15th placed team - 1 points
Beat 16th placed team - 0.5 points

The revised table ends up looking like this:

Despite not playing as many top 8 teams as others, we still beat plenty of them and therefore finished 2nd. The Raiders and the Dragons also slip into the top 8 by virtue of some of their performances against better sides. The Titans also moved up considerably due to some solid wins over the likes of Parra and the Storm.

What does it all mean? F**k all really...

What does it mean?

It means 5 whales died and 300 ha of coral bleached while australias #1 marine biologist f**ked around on excel all morning

Are we really in the finals? I mean really?

 

[Gary Gutful]

It doesn't seem right.

I'm expecting someone to say "Can you please leave without a fuss?".

 

[Basil Brush]

Are we really in the finals? I mean really?

And guaranteed at least 2 weeks in the finals.

Does feel like a dream.

Does feel like a dream.

Or a shared delusion. I suppose we were bound to snap eventually.

For some reason I see a Paul Cariage brain explosion situation happening with Vunivalu. He seems to be getting better yet crazier the more he plays.

Honestly ... just 10 mins ago i thought to myself, I dont remember what its like to lose a finals game

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If we lose on Saturday our last four finals losses will have been to the Storm.

 

[Basil Brush]

If we lose on Saturday our last four finals losses will have been to the Storm.

Are you sure that is right? We lost to Storm in 2009 but wasn't our last loss before that 2005 against Cows?

And knights before that in 01?

Edit: Apologies Pou. I had somehow forgot about 06 and 07.

With a bit of luck we could extend that to five losses this year.

[Basil Brush]

Yes i had somehow completely forgot about 06 and 07.

I did, and do again, apologise to Pou.
