So I was having a look back at our season and something struck me
2024 Season
Leichardt/Campbelltown - 6 Matches - 3 Wins, 3 losses. 4 games remaining. Points for 148, Points Against 138 Points Diff = +10
Away/Neutral - 13 Matches - 1 Win, 12 Losses, 1 Game remaining. Points for 189, Points against 428 Points Diff = -239
We actually have a positive home record this year and if you include next years home ground (and last yrs) at CommBank we are 4 wins, 3 losses and 2 of those losses were to last yrs Grand Finalists.
A lot of talk about the Bulldogs but even they are only 2 and 8 away from home and most teams struggle away from home - even Panthers and Storm have a worse away record.
What we have done is given away 2 home games to Tammworth and Magic Round where you would suggest that if they were at Leichardt/Campbelltown then we would have had a much better chance of winning espe given the DOlhpins struggles in Sydney and we only lost to the Knights by 6 in front of a majority Knights crowd in tammworth (I went)
With 4 home games remaining Cowboys who all struggle at Leichardt, Souths who have had an average season, Manly who are very up and down and the sturggling Eels their is a good chance we finish with a positive home record.
Also suggests to me the money for Magic Round better be amazing to give away our biggest advantage again next year because while I'm not suggesting we were finals bound this year if we were on 6 wins equal with the Titans and with 4 of 5 winnable games at home to come then our season and feelings about it would be very different.
