Rd26 2024: Non Parra games

[RustedonEel]

Beat melbourne when they were going for 19 or was it 20 in row couple of years ago

Think we were 10/1 to win that game

Plus beat the Ruff couple of times when odds were high for a win

Correct. Amazing how people let their hate for a person cloud their memory.

Robbo's whinge in the presser about Whiteheads tackle on Smith is an all time classic sook.
He needs to worry about the grubs in his team before he starts throwing stones.
The bloke is an absolute F Wit.

Robinson's side is very lucky that it was 14-12 in the end and thank goodness the better team one because the Roosters got some very lucky calls. Some of the decisions in that game were some of the worst officiating Ive ever seen. Raiders were penalised for an accidental knee on Butcher. I had no idea why the Roosters got a penalty of Walker's injury. That supposed hip drop was just an unfortunate for Smith and he was already injured anyway. Robinson then blames Whitehead who was just trying to check on Smith's welfare. P1ss off you grub. I hope they get knocked out in straight sets.

To sound like Mr Escobar

How many premierships we won in that time?

*games

Premierships isn't a granular enough metric to support much of an assessment. For example, for the entirety of Gutherson's Eels career, only four clubs have won the comp. Thirteen clubs have failed to win premierships. The way to distinguish these clubs is by win rate, because it is different for all of them, while the number of premierships is identical (zero).

Raiders also had their halves out and lost Ropana early so basically their spine. Ricky's always seems to be able a few times a year get his side up against a top shelf side when they are 5 or 6-1 odds.
BA I don't think did it once in 11yrs. He is a far better coach.

Sticky is far better than most coaches. He is elite.

Would not a better way to distinguish them be by how close they have come to winning a premiership in that time, and how often?

Number of times as grand finalists, then number of times as semi-finalists (reaching final four), etc?

Lock it in Eddie!

It's increasingly more granular than number of premierships but still based on very limited data. Number of wins is significantly more data, and therefore supports a more accurate assessment.

An asssessment of something admitted not as relevant to the item of actual interest, which is winning premierships (or getting as close as you can.

Premierships is just a low granularity function of team strength. A far more granular function of team strength is games won. There's no magic formula to winning premierships that doesn't apply to winning other sorts of games. If the team is good enough and plays for long enough it will win grand finals.
