Just noticed Luke’s line break was a dummy to Leka. Leka already drawing extra defenders lol, sort out his decoy runs there be a lot of tries for Dallin

Another very good statistical analysis is the Rugby League BS Machine (he has just got his website live but been posting on Reddit for years).

Statistically the BS Machine has us finishing the season 6th which I don't think we can argue with at this stage

With the Bulldogs conceding 42 points against Brisbane on Thursday evening, it appears that the best defense in the NRL is now letting the Newcastle Knights have the ball. We will get to the Knights woes shortly, but prior to Round 8, the Dogs had only trailed on the scoreboard for 3.5% of game...

This blog is the best statistical takes anywhere.

I see on NRL 360 tonight that the Warriors had the least number of penalties for head high tackles than any other team. We had only three while other teams such as the Titans and Roosters were around 18. I suspect that is due to the discipline instilled in the team by our coach. I also noticed that the Rabbitohs and Storm were also near the bottom.

If we gave 1 point for a bye would it be better?

Pushes you above teams on the same points but lost an extra game and below teams on the same wins but played an extra game?

I don’t really think there’s any clean solution other than having an even number of teams. Even then the quality of opposition in the draw where you don’t play everyone twice can favour some teams.
