TDK alone: 8 wins 6 losses and a draw
Pittonet alone: 2 wins 5 losses
TDK and Pitt: 6 wins and 3* losses
*One of those losses Pittonet was injured in the first quarter.
As i just said in the other thread.....
Causation and Correlation.
You really need to look into that.
Let me expand so you get the point....
Week 1 - 1 ruck (TDK) - Draw (Tigers - 13th)
Week 6 - 1 ruck (Pitto) - Loss (St. Kilda - 5th)
Week 7 - 1 ruck (Pitto) - Win (West Coast - 17th)
Week 8 - 1 ruck (Pitto) - Loss (Brisbane - 3rd)
Week 9 - 1 ruck (Pitto) - Loss (Bulldogs - 6th)
Games against top 6 - 0-3
Games against middle 6 - 0-0-1
Games against bottom 6 - 1-0
Games with 2 rucks
Week 2 - 2 rucks - Win - (Geelong - 7th)
Week 3 - 2 rucks - Win - (GWS - 15th)
Week 4 - 2 rucks - Win - (NM - 16th)
Week 5 - 2 rucks - Loss (Adelaide - 8th)
Games against top 6 - 0-0
Games against middle 6 - 1-1
Games against bottom 6 - 2-0
TOTAL regardless of how many rucks we play....
Games against top 6 - 0-3
Games against middle 6 - 1-1-1
Games against bottom 6 - 3-0
Seems ladder position is all that matters, NOT the amount of rucks we play.
Ladder position is the cause of the result.
Rucks played happens to correlate with the result....ie coincidence.
As that little exercise shows. We are not as good as the top 6, clearly better than the bottom 6, and exactly even with the middle 6.
Rucks numbers are irrelevent.
