Statistic for Sunday

[tookey]

Apparantly we have lost 10 of the last 11 games against the dogs played on a Sunday afternoon including the last 5 sunday games at brookie oval.

This will be a difficult games espcially with brookie likely to be wet.

 

[SeaEagle007]

statistic that will be proven wrong!!

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

So dogs should be $1.25 & Manly $2.70 then

Dogs won't score a point. Manly 30-0

statistics are a slice of history, sunday is the future. No connected in any way

That's a very obscure stat. I prefer to concentrate on the fact that we have beaten Suppository-Wankstown on some 59 occasions since 1947, as opposed to 48 losses (with 5 draws). And they have only won on 17 occasions (in 52 visits) at Brookvale in all that time.

Tooks, why would wet weather favour the dogs? We've got plenty of grunt types to take advantage of a soft track. Manly by plenty.

Fortess Brookvale will be just that in 2011....a Fortress!!

Cliche........hoodoos are made to be broken...........

Because wet boggy games tend to be low scoring affairs which will mean the the dogs will come back into the contest because there might only be a few points in the result. On a dry ground we would smash them.

As a former first grade coach once said:
"Statistics are like mini skirts, sure they look good but they hide the best bits!"

 

[The Eagle]

Who said that?

 

[Narly]

Come on boys lets smash these guys, take your coat and get down to brooky, we want to drown out the bulldogs bongo drums

 

[StuBoot]

Who said that?

Nathan Brown one night on NRL on FOX, a few years ago now though.
A pretty good analogy though.

 

[NYEagle]

The dogs are absolute crap and will get smashed sundar. Manly 30-6

 

[The Gronk]

the problem with statistics is that 82% of them are made up.
