5 rounds in, and we are 3 and 2, just like we were in 2011 and 2014\. We are marginally ahead of those years (60% compared to 59%), partially thanks to our for and against being better.
It was a bit of a funny round this week. 5 of the bottom 8 got up, including the bottom 2\. Meanwhile, the top 2 teams got done. This had the effect of making the ladder tighter.

Key results:
- 8% chance of minor premiership (Rabbitohs are 15%, Manly are 1%)
- 31% chance of finishing in top 4 (Rabbitohs are 47%, Manly are 8%)
- 60% chance of finishing in top 8 (Rabbitohs are 74%, Manly are 25%)
- 17% chance of finishing in bottom 4 (Rabbitohs are 8%, Manly are 48%)
- 3% chance of wooden spoon (Rabbitohs are 1%, Manly are 16%)
Oh, how I would dearly love to see Manly get the spoon. Still, too early to get excited…
