Power Rankings

[travelling_gerry]

silly hypothetical journalism is meaningless... Force are 14th… Goods news is, will get better.

And the ponies have dropped from 1 to 5 in one week - could get worse.

Agreed, there is only one table that counts!

Unfortunately we are 14th on that one for the moment

Much worse, the Coach hasn't been challenged by the Committee yet.

I bet that if the Brumbies or Waratahs had lost the amount of personel before the first game and then the casulties we suffered game 1 the write up would read "gallent in defeat" or something along those lines

Your right about the way the NSW press piss in the Brumbies/Tahs pockets. They must be choking on their pies ATM,having to rave about Qld.

But the power rankings shouldn't be about the value of the effort nor potential. I haven't tried to work out how they calculate them but the fact is we are WAY down on power right now. But just as the Ponies,Tahs, Sharks have plummeted, our team will rise up the rankings as we get our players back. The question is whether we'll get them back in time to climb on the ladder as well.

I thought the page was about how much Fantasy Football value there was in the team.

I can say for sure that the instand Bam and Brownie were out I went straight for Hodgeo and would have done no matter what he cost. He was going to have to shoulder all the backrow responsibility pretty much solo, and he scored well. I reckon there's good power in the weaker teams because they don't have the luxury of sharing the workload....Victor Matfield will never top the scoring in Fantasy because he doesn't score many tries and he shares the lineout catching with like 40,000 other guys!


and the reviews are written by Jeremy Paul, you can tell by the bias.....he's worse than Kafer, who has had to choke out some praise for the Force in recent years. We need to expect this page to be full of poorly researched, heart on the sleeve Brumby love, because that's certainly indicated by the ratings.

The only journo who will ever give the Force a good wrap is Canno (who amazingly tipped the Force to get up over the canes, even I didn't do that!)

[Burgs]

Well, I guess you can work with the Ref or against the Ref...

I have noticed that rugby heaven has been a bit slow in bringing out this weeks 'team o the week'
Is that because they don't want to just say 'it's the reds'

POWER RANKING WEEK 3

http://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/super14/powerrankings

[pieter blackie]

No team conceded more metres (750), linebreaks (10) or allowed more missed tackles (44) in week three than the Force. Defensively incapable all across the park, the Force also took 74 minutes to score their lone try against the Chiefs. The stats back up what we're seeing on the field, the Force are deserved cellar-dwellers.
