Question

[hertryk]

Can anyone tell me how many losses we had before our very first home win against the Hurricanes ?
I was asked the question yesterday, and couldn't remember?

According to Wiki: we were 0-5 and a draw at home in 2006 and lost the first two home games in 2007 before beating the Hurricanes, so our first home win was the 9th match, but with 7 losses in the first 8.

Away in 2006 we were 1-1-5, and before our first home win we were 2-1-0 (yes, 2 wins and a draw in 3 matches!)

2006 1 win and 2 draws from 13, 12 points, 14th
2007 6 wins and a draw from 13, 32 points 7th (tahs 13th reds 14th)
2008 7 wins from 13, 33 points 8th (above brumbies and reds)
2009 6 wins and a draw from 13, 36 points 8th (above reds)
2010 4 wins from 13, 19 points 13th
2011 5 wins and 2 draws from 16, 37 points 12th (above brums and rabble)
2012 3 wins from 16, 27 points, 14th

In 2010 we lost Gits (136 points for Brums), Mitchell (9 tries Tahs), Pretorious missed season, Pocock missed 5 games, Shep missed 8 games

We have beaten every team, won on the road in both NZ and SA, beaten all the Australian franchises away.

I went looking for stats on a similar subject, but to no avail...does anyone have your home and away stats ? Off the top of my head, I think we have won more away from home than at home - correc ?

hmmm, didn't try too hard did I TG ?

So, overall, we have won 33%, lost 61% and drawn 6%
At home, its virtually the same....

Home - played 48, won 16 (33%)
Away - played 49, won 16 (33%)

that surprises me - what surprises me even more though, is the fact that we won 42% of our games at Subi and its now only 23% at NIB !!!!

thanks for the site TG - interesting reading

Interesting! My read is:

Home: played 48, won 16, drawn 3, lost 29
Away: played 49, won 16, drawn 3, lost 30

Of the home matches:

Subi: played 26, won 11, drawn 1, lost 14
Nib: played 22, won 5, drawn 2, lost 15

Moving away from Subi may not have been such a good idea! (I know, ITYFIABMCTT!)

Just had a look at that site again - checked on the Crusaders stats. Of course they are over 50% against every opponent, the lowest % (so the best performing team against the Crusaders) is held by the Blues and THE WESTERN FORECE !!!!!

yup we are their bogey side, and even more so if not for Ayoub
