The J(uro) Curve

Having a quick scan of our remaining draw I can see the potential for the zig zagging to continue. The top end of the comp is tight this year so I imagine a lot of teams have a similar curve.

Well that game hurt. Yet another close loss, and the zigzag pattern continues. While we have fallen out of the top 8, our chances of making the finals are still above 50%. We are now sitting at 59%.

Key numbers after 13 rounds:
- 2% chance of minor premiership (Panthers and Dragons are 26%, 3 teams on 0.00%)
- 17% chance of finishing in top 4 (Panthers and Dragons are 72%, Eels are the first team to reach 0.00%)
- 59% chance of finishing in top 8 (Panthers and Dragons are 95%, Eels are 0.4%)
- 7% chance of finishing in bottom 4 (Eels are 92%, Bulldogs are 68%, Dragons are 0.2%)
- 0.2% chance of wooden spoon (Eels are 52%, Bulldogs are 16%, 3 teams are on 0.00%)

Man,

I love your work.

Thanks heaps
 
It doesn't feel like 59% but maybe the recent performances have something to do with it. It feels more like 39% our attack is pathetic.

Our attack has been pathetic for most of the season. If our defence can keep us in the game, we are always a chance of winning. Some games it will come off, others it won't. On Sunday it didn't…

Very true but watching us play takes years from your life.

Btw I love your work!

Yes, despite so much changing at the club this year, there is always the heart attack at the end of every game…
 
Apologies for the delay in posting this week. With the long weekend and other commitments, it's taken a bit longer to get around to it. Also, it is not quite so much fun after a loss…

After 14 rounds, we are sitting on 7 wins and 7 losses, with a F/A of +1\. Despite this, we are outside the top 8 (partially due to the effect of byes), and are now less than 50% chance of making the finals. Yes, we have hit 49%.

Key numbers after 14 rounds:
- 0.5% chance of minor premiership (Dragons are 28%, Panthers are 26%, Sea Eagles and Titans join 3 teams on 0.00%)
- 8% chance of finishing in top 4 (Dragons are 75%, Panthers are 74%, Eels are 0.00%)
- 49% chance of finishing in top 8 (Dragons and Panthers are 98%, Eels are 0.5%)
- 8% chance of finishing in bottom 4 (Eels are 84%, Bulldogs are 70%, Panthers are 0.03%)
- 0.2% chance of wooden spoon (Eels are 37%, Bulldogs are 21%, Roosters, Sharks and Warriors join 3 teams on 0.00%)
 
Thanks again for your efforts Juro. Like you say the byes for a few teams so far this season has impacted the ladder, the Broncos are only keeping us out of the 8 at this point due to them having had a bye already- pretty sure our F/A is better than theirs.

Us losing is what is keeping us out of the 8.
 
The bye can't be interpreted like that. If the Broncos win in rd 17 then the bye is irrelevant as they remain 2 points above us (ignoring the results of the next 2 weeks of course)

Except that no competition points are given for byes this year, so Broncos are legitimately one win ahead of us.

Wrong both teams have 7 wins the only thing that puts the drongos ahead of us is the bye.Our f/a is superior to theirs.

Fair enough. Just checked the ladder and that looks correct. Although I could have sworn that they said they weren't rewarding points for byes this year. Oh well.

At least that means we have 2 free competition points owed to us.
 
All teams get 2 points for 1 BYE this year no points for the 2nd BYE as in previous years as all NRL teams don't play rep weekend..so effectively there is only 1 BYE and 25 Rounds instead of 26..

That curve is going down quicker than a glass of scotch at an AA meeting!

:roll Nice one!

We Tigers fans should know that better than most.
Q: "And what made you start drinking excessively in the first place?"
A: "Took up supporting the Tigers mate".

They give us a heart attack every week that is for sure.

Juro curve just dropped off a cliff

I've only just managed to crawl out from under the bed after Sunday's nightmare. The curve will be updated by Friday. Seems a bit superfluous though, since you already know what it will look like…
