State of Origin Fixture, Stats and Ladder Thread

[boncer34]

Games will start on this coming Friday the 6th with captains the first deadline being Thursday the 5th at 11:59pm AEST. Games will then be 5 days after one another so the 11th, 16th etc.

Since The Jet is quivering with anticipation I'll let him reveal the fixture. You get to each play one another ONCE.

 

[The Jet]

Thankyou boncer34

Regarding the State Of Origin, when posting lineups, please tag me AFTER the lineup.

I will also reveal the order of the match postings so a lot of you will not be hanging around waiting for your match to be posted. They Will be posted in each of the match threads.

Here's to a potentially great State of Origin carnival

Ill be doing a top 10 stats for the carnival after each round also.

Nice work BonceJetBeng.

Looking forward to this as a distraction from AFL finals.

 

[The Jet]

Ill be doing a top 10 stats for the carnival after each round also.

Sure, top 10 will be ok BUT you will have to make sure it's a full list as obviously top 10 lists can change after every round of matches.

ALSO for everyone, I'm creating the fixtures now and will post it in this thread with my next post.

[PVF]

If any obvious errors with fixturing, please let me know. I tried to have it as fair as possible.

Defending Champions NSW/ACT to have 2 home games. Same as Vic Metro & Country. W.A/S.A & Allies all have 3 home games

 

[The Jet]

Will we have a final this series?

At the moment no, but up to boncer34 as it would only mean I have to sim 1 extra game, I am ok with that.

 

[The Jet]

Now on to the important stuff.

Thread posting for the match threads each round. Who wants in? 5 rounds, so we need 5 people to create the match threads.

Who wants what? 1st in 1st served. But they need to be more than just half hearted stuff. Quality is needed. Post in this threat what round you want to to and then you can proceed to do it.

 

[akkaps]

NSW/ACT should get three home games for winning last season. This is unfair.

 

[PVF]

The Allies play one game at the Gabba, one at Aurora Stadium and one at whatever the one in Darwin is called.

We are the people's team.

Just be thankful were not making you play in NZ to help with our games expansion.

 

[boncer34]

Before anyone gets their knickers in a twist over the grounds The Jet has obviously just picked the most likely candidate for the home ground. If you want to play elsewhere (Ie. Vic Country want to play in Mildura) then just say politely in here and we can accomodate.

Ask shepp about how the reigning premiers draw should look.

It's all about 'equalisation' mate.

 

[The Jet]

Since round 1 in SoO starts this Friday, who is willing to do those match threads? and the others? Any idea boncer34 as I am hoping they will be done ...

 

[boncer34]

I'd do it but I don't believe in hard work, I delegate better then anybody.

Why don't you do it?

 

[The Jet]

Well I could do it but it wont be outstanding ... as long as you can delegate for the other 4 rounds

 

[akkaps]

What need to be done, I'll do it

 

[iBeng]

First stats are up, leading in handballs to other people are:

boncer34 on 3
The Jet on 1

Stay tuned for more stats!

We don't need any favours to go back to back.

Thanks but I've done round 1 already. Saturday you can do round 2 match threads. Are you up for it?
