Re: Is Boyd on the way out?
There are a stack of forwards in the NRL earning greater than $650, and they are not all SOO shoe ins. $650k for an elite level forward doesnt at all sound unreasonable, the question is whether Boyd is considered an elite forward, and based on this years form the clear answer imo is yes. What makes...

Jacob Gagai was the standout without a doubt. The fullback Ghoulmieh impressed as well, had a tough job and did well. Simbiken and Solomon stood out to me as well, both in the Canberra comp at the moment too.

Re: NRL ladder predictor: Critical results for Raiders hopes
Here's one result where we finish 4th. Eels and Sharks need to lose the rest of their games, while Panthers, Sea Eagles and Cowboys win one of three. This requires a lot of wins from the bottom teams and the Raiders to win their last three, which is why it looks to be about a 1 in 125,000 chance. ht...

I wanted to set the margin for each match based on a weighted probability using the difference in betting odds between the two teams, but haven't done that at this stage.

Re: NRL ladder predictor: Critical results for Raiders hopes
I just wrote and ran a simulation of the last 3 rounds and in 100,000 runs of the simulation the Raiders actually managed to finish 4th once. So we literally have a 1 in 100,000 chance of making the top 4 by my estimate

He's hard to tackle and has footwork, but sometimes I wish he'd just run hard as well.

Also his defence in the middle is pretty dodgy at times. The mass...
