NRL Rd 14 2023 - General Non-Warriors Thread

[Blair]

The Panthers eventually overpower St George 26-18.

Rd 14 Ladder:



The table's all over the shop. These byes and no byes had me not posting this last night as I thought it hadn't been updated! But here it is, and we've gone up a slot.

Interestingly, NQ haven't had any byes, so their ladder position won't be too bad, until their next two games, against Souths and the Panthers!

 

[Izz]

I kinda feel like that until everybody's had both byes they should do a ladder based purely on wins and f/a.

If they were doing that, Raiders would be top 4!

Maybe i'll do one now just because

1. Brisbane
2. South Sydney
3. Penrith
4. Raiders
5. Cronulla
6. Us
7. Melbourne
8. Redcliffe
9. Parramatta
10. North Queensland
11. Sydney City
12. Manly
13. Newcastle
14. Gold Coast
15. Canterbury-Bankstown
16. Wests
17. St. George Illawarra

Yeah, a mess eh... I'd go the US system, just % won then points... quick look it's similar

1. Brisbane 71.4
2. Penrith 66.7
3. Souths 64.3
4. Canberra 61.5
5. Sharks 58.3
6 Storm 58.3
7. Warriors 53.8
8 Dolphins 53.8
9. Roosters 50
10. Eels 46.2
11. Cowboys 42.9
12. Manly 41.7
13 Newcastle 41.7
14 Titans 41.7
15. Dogs 38.5
16. Tigpies 25
17 Dragons 23.1

Bit draws aren't ever even, an ongoing problem without a full and fair double round

 

[GoSouths]

why even give points for the bye? just ridiculous...

oh yeah, that'd work

We’re getting to a similar place, but really a bugbear of mine that the draw is always uneven, they need to fix it at some point

 

[SpaceMonkey]

The draw is an utter mess this year. At one point we’d played 9 games and played 3 sides twice, and were yet to play 10. It’ll sort itself out but it’s annoying

But doesn’t quite sort itself out, I guess with so many (ordinary) teams making the playoffs it probably does then

I think the main way it doesnt sort itself out is teams can be in dramatically different form at different times of the year. For example if the Dylan Brown charges really stuff the Eels season that will advantage us as we have yet to play them.

Cleary's out for a few weeks with a hammy. That will affect the Panthers, due to his superstar status, but watch them find a way around it.
