NRL Predictions for Round 10
Team Ratings for Round 10
I have had to update the predictions for this round since I just became aware the games are all being played at Suncorp.
I have to say that this arrangement is blatantly unfair to the non-Brisbane teams which lose a home game advantage but particularly the Sea Eagles, the Sharks and the Warriors on this occasion. The first two teams get to play their home game at the home stadium of their opponents so are doubly disadvantaged regarding home ground advantage. The Warriors have to play their home game across the Tasman and the home ground advantage they lose is greater for them according to my statistical analysis.
The basic method is described on my Department home page.
Here are the team ratings prior to this week’s games, along with the ratings at the start of the season.

---|---|---|---|
Panthers | 11.52 | 12.99 | -1.50 |
