NRL 2026

Or doesn't want to sit through 24 rounds of 5 minutes highlights (2hrs of footage) for no reason.


But I'll entertain you for the absolute first discrepancy in data which is Round 2 Vs the Rabbitohs, Foxsports have 1 try assist recorded and Champion Data/MF have 0 try assists recorded.

Foxsports attribute a Try assist the most influential play outside of the try scorer in the lead up.
Champion Data for the most part attribute a Try assist for the last action (kick or pass)

So take Round 2 where you say Tedesco had no try assists, Foxsports attribute him a try assist in the 52nd minute of the game.

Here is the try assist in question; NRL 2026 | Roosters v Rabbitohs | Match Highlights | Round 2

Now to anyone who knows Rugby League, it's Tedesco's in and away on Cody walker that drags in Latrell Mitchell and then his flick pass to Toia that creates the 2 on 1. Therefore he is attributed the try assist. Champion Data/MF however give the try assist to Robert Toia because he threw the last pass even though that play is far less influential in the creation of points.

Like I said, we have just used different data sets. I prefer Foxsports for exactly the reason listed above, they're not perfect but they apply far more common sense to the way they record the majority of their statistical data IMO.

If you want to stand by Champion Data's method then all good, I'm not going to try and pretend like your stats are wrong. They're just measured differently.

 

lol @ you taking a shot at someone for writing a long post.

"Tedesco not remotely close to Ponga this year"

 

I expected more from their forward pack.

Reece Robson has been such a good signing though, last two weeks we've gone back to playing off him through the middle and we've looked far more effective in attack.

 

Feel like the Dolphins are at a point where they could really fuck their salary cap up with Tabuai-Fidow, Farnsworth & Bostock all off contract.

Herbie is the obvious one and must re-sign.

I think Bostock is a very good winger but I'd be very tentative as to much I would pay him as a centre especially if they're going to pay Herbie $1m+

Tabuai-Fidow apparently asking for $1.4m + I just don't know how you justify that.

 

Let's be real MF's ego could never admit he's wrong.

"Tedesco not remotely close to Ponga this season"

 

Cleary on the bench for the Panthers...

Knights still at $3.25 which seems like a good value punt.

 

Damn that's a bad break, but I don't agree it's a send off.

Cleary hugely unlucky, fracture in one foot, now a low leg break in the other.

 

I can't remember such a poorly officiated finals series.
