The Cruncher? Pou could have come up with a better name than that.

He crunches the numbers, I munch the numbers.

Is that Horsborough on Raiders' Mad Monday?

 

[Gary Gutful]

It looks more like the guy that Horsborough will eat on Mad Monday. Washed down with 20 Woodstocks.

I found it interesting to see Paulo had played fewer minutes last year, despite making more runs than the year before. He also made slightly fewer decoys, but still more than in 2019 when he wasn't even in the top 50 for decoy runs. This year his minutes are up by 7 per game (an increase of about 15%), but the sample is small (8 games) and therefore skewed by long minutes in his first three games. In the past four weeks Paulo has only played 50+ minutes once (51 minutes against the Titans).

Year	Minutes	Runs	Decoys
2023	55	15.0	5.3
2022	48	15.2	5.0
2021	54	14.7	5.3
2020	55	16.1	5.2
2019	52	14.4	<4.1

The most striking fact is that Paulo doesn't play the same number of minutes each week but in fact plays a wide range of minutes, almost as though he is being used depending on match conditions. Anyway, I hope he doesn't get worn out by having to sit on the bench for 25+ minutes every week. It must be tough for a professional athlete to have to make 15 carries and only get a week's break in between.

Must be great coaching and tactics?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Might just be good luck?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I just realised this could've gone in the stats thread! Mods, make it happen ffs

[Poupou Escobar]

Hopefully he can catch up to Mahoney, Murray and Fa'asuamaleaui for penalties too!

Years since last missed top 8:

12 Melbourne
6 Sydney Roosters
5 South Sydney
4 Parramatta
3 Penrith
1 Canberra
1 Cronulla
1 North Queensland
0 Everyone else

I'd love Melbourne (slim chance) and Roosters (quite possible) to miss the 8 this year... and if we scraped in, we'd then have the second longest live finals streak.

Wouldn't mind seeing the opposite how many years since teams have played finals.

Tigers, Bulldogs are in a drought

 

[the phantom menace]

Yep, Tigers have had a very special run... doesn't look like changing in a hurry either.

Years since last made top 8:

11 Wests
6 Canterbury Bankstown
4 New Zealand
4 St George Illawarra
3 Brisbane
1 Gold Coast
1 Manly Warringah
1 Newcastle
- Dolphins
0 Everyone else

3 Brisbane

If there's any deserving scapegoat in rugby league, it's whoever is responsible for this finals drought. Unbelievable.
