My bad. Amended table below...

That is a problem. Bradford suffer as well with Orford doing a lot of goal kicking.

I do suspect taking top points scorer, top goal kicker and all-round good egg Paddy Richards out of the equation would knock Wigan down VERY low indeed.

It's a nice exercise and interesting too, but with good reason it's not the accepted method of assessing the success of a team in the league!

Joint top, that'll do. Someone send it to the BBC. They won't realise.

Ah but you've got a three points deduction because you only have one left footed player in the team. It's a new rule just been brought in by LFLA.

Silly idea anyway

Rougues forgot to mention the rule brought out by the Billinge Lump Choral Society, which states 2 points deducted for every player signed mid-season when your teams in trouble IE Gleeson and others.
The pies would be well down the table, (as they deserve to be, IMHO)

Imagine if this was done on the premier league, most teams would have no goals

I thought Tomkins had scored 3 tries.

The orginal idea was to have only players that are really British so I would exclude people like Pat Richards and Maurie etc.

By the way this isn't supposed to be serious, it's just a mildly amusing diversion. We could equally have an overseas league table (which the pies would definitely win).

I bet you're really glad there's no points deducted for every breach of the salary cap! St Helens would be off the foot of the table!

And I thought you liked me

, you two faced bugger.

Rogues I love you to bits, I was having a few schooners in the Plough Inn, South Bank, Brisbane, wirh Tony and Sandra Mossop, Lee's parents, and guess who came up for discussion, your good self, always sticking your nose in where it's not needed, but hey you come up with some good lines and interesting points. if you see Lee tell him his Mum n Dad are really good people, as most are from Whitehaven and are enjoying themselves. Regards to all who have the games interest at large.

If truth was know, we would be out of sight of the pies, especially if every "nudge nudge wink wink" that went on when you bought everything (sorry won) that you refer to in what we call "all our yesterdays". granted you are doing well at the moment and I hope it continues, (with a slight hiccup on Good Friday).your supporters are top class, please don't take what I said to heart.

Jesus Christ.

That's a bit like saying Saints would be rubbish without Ade Gardner. Roberts and Richards are great players, but they're also playing outside of world class centres, and with top halfbacks who are able to give them the scoring opportunities.

Can you do one where you only count the tries from kicks when they were grounded by the player's left hand and his name begins and ends with e?

I've got a choral society?

Lord help us all if that is true.

You can if you want.

Obviously we wouldn't. We'd probably be near the bottom.



Well put. You know the really ironic thing? If you did a league table like this only counting British points scored even back then in 1994/95 we'd probably come out top, so much of the talent we had was still British, well, the scoring talent anyway. Even if you do take Botica / Henry Paul out of the equation.

Good Friday will be very interesting, we all know the form book goes out of the window. I remember a few years ago Wigan being down to youngsters thanks to injuries, Saints flying high, but we still managed the win. Who knows what will happen.

lolwut?

WTG on missing the WHOLE POINT OF THE THREAD!

I think if you take Richards' 118 points out of the 278 you've scored to date you'd be very near the bottom of a GB superleague and right near the top of an overseas league not to mention Roberts, Carmont, Lulu, etc...

Or are you really suggesting an Australian who has decided to play for Ireland because he can't get a game for the green and golds is British?

Anyway, the point of the thread wasn't to have a go at wigan (tempting though that is) but just to see what effect it would have on the table. Despite all the talk of reducing overseas players in the game I don't really see it happening.

lol @ Hull KR

Yeah Right!



PS

If these players didn't play i.e The overseas ones, Wouldn't the British players stepping in have scored some

?

You're a right touchy sod on these boards at the moment. Not nervous for Friday are we?

That's him in a good mood. You wouldn't want to meet him when he's in a grumpy one.

No more nervous than usual


As I said last week pre the Leeds game, This is what we strive for, to test ourselves against the best out there.

It sure beats going there with everyone predicting a good hiding!



TBH, In the main I much prefere Wigan/Saints than the Wire games for the banter & Build up etc.

Much friendlier & at least we're arguing with feloow RL fans that actually no summat about the game!
