STATISTICS........WHAT A NIGHTMARE

[Slugs]

Souths have the wood on you guys this year thus far, so that would normally point to a Bunny win:

Souths stats todate:

F . A .. P/D

69 54 15

Parra stats todate

F . A .. P/D
90 126 -36


However the game is to be ref'd by non other than Shayne Hayne.This fellow has had the whistle in his mouth seven times for us and todate we have not registered a win.

So what do you use as your criteria:
For and Against or The Referee

My heart says For & Against and my head says Referee....so what do I do ????.................... Just take the 8 1/2 start on Footy Tab and hope for the best ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I think you'll find Souths have a pretty bad recent record under any referee. A bad record fullstop. Don't worry too much about statistics. Comparing for and against after 4 rounds is pointless.

It should be a good game. Good luck.

 

[El Diablo]

Souths have shown better form than us this season yet are @ $3.05 with SportsTAB :?

Ridiculous odds.

 

[The Colonel]

Statistics also show we have played four teams who finished in the top eight last year whereas it shows you've played one side from the top eight and had the bye as well.

Plus going on the fact that Souths last beat Parramatta anywhere in 1995 I'd go with your heart and the fact that Bryan Fletcher and Shayne Hayne don't get along!

 

[Paranoid]

South have played Cronulla*, Tigers, Roosters*, The Bye
(*= had shockers)

Parra's played Canberra^, Newcastle, Brisbane, Cheats^
(^= had blinders)

Bit of a difference there.

 

[El Diablo]

Canberra didn't have a blinder :?

 

[Goleel]

In the first half they were on fire...

 

[Pazza]

Souths beat the sharks and the tigers :lol: i guess they are real contenders now

 

[ParraMatt]

Prediction

Parramatta 48 - 4 Souths

 

[Hurriflatch]

Based on those stats though Parramatta have a much better attack then Souths.

Stats wise I'd say Souths are the worst attacking team Parra have played this year thus there defence might hold up more.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Coul be Langmacks last game :lol:

 

[PB]

Parra have won there last 8 at home.

However Souths have won 4 of 10 contests at Parra stadium against the Eels.

My bet... Don't bet on games where the heart is involved!

Good value;
Sports TAB
8-10 tries in the match is paying $2.85
11+ tries is paying $4

i think there is something in that for all of us.......

 

[Hurriflatch]

But look at who each team have played

Souths (Roosters(H?), Tigers (H), bye, Sharks(H))
Eels (Bulldogs (A), Broncos(A), Knights (H), Raiders(A))

Parramatta have had a much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, muchch, much, much harder draw then the Bunnies

This is Souths 1st real away game this year and they have only won something like 2 from the last 16 away games.

Parramatta return home where they are on a 8 game winning streak.

 

[half]

and as many people here say, vella always performs well against souths

 

[Hurriflatch]

Lets hope it happens this week

 

[Phillips]

i think the difference will be Eric Grothe.........scoring 3 tries

 

[wittyz chick]

more like 6 n blitz the record for as many trys in a match this time there will be 13 souths men not 10 (like the sharks)
i shouldnt get 2 far ahead of myself

 

[JessEel]

nono, WC, i love Guru, but the record for most tries in a game for parramatta belongs to Jamie for a while. He deserves it. And i have the fully signed corner post from that game

 

[wittyz chick]

how'd you get that Jess?
*gets jealous*

 

[JessEel]

i asked reeeeeaallly nicely!!
i had asked the same guy every time he collected them after every game if i could have one, and i s'pose he thought, "last game, what the hell" and passed it over to me. I went skitz, i think i may have proposed to him... ...meh, whatever! :lol: all the boys reckoned i nicked it! refused to believe my innocence, damn them!
