Poupou Escobar's whole season of excuses for BA and the squad he assembled, blown out of the water with those stats 😂

Here you go, no more excuses about injuries. 3 teams had more injuries and still could make the Top 8...

Are the 16 games out injured by Mitch Moses equivalent to Jonah Pezet’s 16 games? This very simple count of missed games is deceiving. If you’re looking for a meaningful heuristic, try a count of players who played 20+ games. The 20+ is arbitrary. If you don’t like it choose a similar number, but apply it to every club.

Pfft, the Roosters got theirs in key positions at the backend.

Those stats were compiled by the work experience kid. The significance and timing of the injuries should be weighted.

What about the games Munster and Papenhuyzen both missed, are they comparable?

Sure but the fact the Roosters got their key injuries so late in the season will hurt them in the finals, while ensuring they still finished very high on the ladder. The Chooks are paying nearly $3 this weekend. Crazy for the team that finished with the best points differential.

Perhaps the stupid Storm actually has a top 30 roster signed for such an outcome, we were far too smart to do that.
We used 31 players and they used 33:


Neither club had a full top 30 because it doesn't matter. Storm had 29 and we had 28: https://www.nrl.com/news/2024/01/01...r-latest-signings-news-contracts-and-details/

So we used three players from outside our top 30 and the Storm used four from outside theirs. Like I said, it doesn't matter. The extra players used were shit enough for the bottom of the top 30. Outside your top 20-25, everyone else is break glass in case of emergency.

How many did the Storm use before Round 26 when they rested players?
