Firstly I'd like to thank everyone for getting on board and supplying their predictions. We had a record turn out this year which has not only thrown up some interesting predicaments but also given a prediction which better reflects the community as a whole.
A couple of weeks into the competition and a couple of upsets has made the table very different to most expected. So here is the wrap up of everyone's combined predictions
(how close is it to yours ?).
NRL Fantasy Fanatics Prediction
1 Storm
2 Panthers
3 Raiders
4 Cowboys
5 Broncos
6 Roosters
7 Sharks
8 Warriors
9 Titans
10 Eels
11 Bulldogs
12 Rabbits
13 Tigers
14 Sea Eagles
15 Knights
16 Dragons
The top 4 Storm, Raiders, Panthers, Cowboys was pretty consistent across the board and on averages each team sat clearly in their position
5 & 6 Roosters and Broncos were virtually interchangeable with only 0.20 separating them
7 & 8 Sharks and Warriors were also cemented in their positions.
So all said and done the top 8 was pretty much cut and dried and agreed upon by most punters. Then it got interesting, it was almost a crap shoot who filled the next 6 positions with only 15 & 16 agreed upon.
9 & 10 Titans, Eels were split by 0.4 clearly ahead of the next pair.
11 & 12 Bulldogs & Rabbits could not be split. Across 47 predictions they returned the exact same average. But again with a decent spread to the next positions.
13 & 14 Tigers, Sea Eagles was again a tightly contested battle with punters picking them anywhere from the 8 to the spoon. Only 0.02 separating the pair.
15 & 16 Knights, Dragons were the most consistently picked teams in the position they ended in. This evident by both receiving an average over 15 of a maximum possible result of 16. That said there was only 0.11 between the pair.
Good luck for the season !!
