OFFSEASON TASK: World Club Top 20

[RifRaf]

Here are the pommy standings

1st - Leeds (8-1-1)
2nd - Bradford (7-3)
3rd - Wigan (5-3-2)
4th - Hull (5-4-1)
5th - London (5-5)
6th - Castleford (5-5)
7th - Salford City (4-6)
8th - St Helens (3-7)
9th - Warrington (3-7)
10th - Widnes (3-7)
11th - Wakefield Trinity (3-7)
12th - Huddersfield (2-8)

London beat Castleford in these standings due to having a better record against common opponents in their last ten games. The Broncos won two games, lost two and drew one compared to the Tigers' record of two wins and four losses.

St Helens beat Warrington, Widnes and Wakefield Trinity based on superior home record. As far as I can tell, the Wildcats did not play one single home game in their last ten (!) and dropped to the back of the 3-7 teams. Warrington beat the Vikings based on common opponents, winning three out of six compared to Widnes' three out of seven record.

THUS, under the 'use at your own risk' Bomber system, the current World Club Top 20 would consist of:

1st - Leeds Rhinos (8-1-1)
2nd - Canterbury Bulldogs (8-2)
3rd - Sydney Roosters (8-2)
4th - Bradford Bulls (7-3)
5th - North Qld Cowboys (7-3)
6th - St George Illawarra Dragons (6-4)
7th - Wigan Warriors (5-3-2)
8th - Hull FC (5-4-1)
9th - Melbourne Storm (5-5)
10th - Penrith Panthers (5-5)
11th - Manly Sea Eagles (5-5)
12th - London Broncos (5-5)
13th - Castleford Tigers (5-5)
14th - Brisbane Broncos (4-5-1)
15th - Canberra Raiders (4-6)
16th - Salford City Reds (4-6)
17th - Parramatta Eels (3-7)
18th - Cronulla Sharks (3-7)
19th - Newcastle Knights (3-7)
20th - Wests Tigers (3-7)

----

21st - St Helens (3-7)
22nd - Warrington Wolves (3-7)
23rd - Widnes Vikings (3-7)
24th - Wakefield Trinity Wildcats (3-7)
25th - Huddersfield Giants (2-8 )
26th - New Zealand Warriors (2-8 )
27th - South Sydney Rabbitohs (1-8-1)

I loved the system yesterday I hate it today!!!! Can't we do something about the Tiges?

 

[In-goal]

Yeah i thinks that's a pretty good system i think we should keep it running throughout the course of theseason to see how much fluctuation is there.

Idealy when Leeds and Canterbury play off in the WCC it should count as a win for 1 and a loss for the other as that is a little more than a trial especialy with the prestige it brings.

it could make it 7-3 for canterbury or 7-2-1 for leeds, it would effect the standings considerably.

 

[Bomber]

Well, if Leeds wins, the Bulldogs dip below the Cowboys based on head-to-head results

What's the problem? Castleford are going well. ;-)

 

[In-goal]

Castleford will be off the count after a couple of games as thet have been relegated, now leigh will be the new whipping boys of the Rugby Super League.

 

[RifRaf]

Salford will make a big jump next year I reckon! So big "Cha-Ching" heading there way...

 

[In-goal]

Do you know why Salford are about to line the pockets with gold, it's because there leaving there crapy little stadium the Willows (just like Liechardt) and are heading into a fantastic new facility that people actuly want to go to.

Agreed... Why Stop the Rot at Leichardt for? ITS A HOLE!
It's great too have tradition but staying at Stadiums like Leichardt, Oki Jubilee, Belmore etc is only holding RL back! I'd love more then anything the Doggies too play out of Belmore BUT why go backwards for???
It's time for RL clubs too start and average more then 20,000 and crappy suburban stadium will not do!!!!

ok fair enough... But Tesltra will get bigger crowds... More away supporters will go! More supporters from Campbelltown and the west will go... If West Tigers supporters are supporters of there team they will go!!

 

[RifRaf]

Thats cool mate... Ill get my satisfaction when dumps like Leichardt are no longer used for the Greatest RL competition in the World and grounds that have the facilities, looks, size and corporate support are used too show case the greatest game!

How about a double pass too a Semi-Final game of the winners choice?
