6-year Penalty Analysis

[Tommy Smith]

Ok so Gragra has somewhat stolen my thunder (good work though, mate), but I've been doing some research on penalty counts over the last 6 years.

Basically I decided to do this because I was sick to death of commentators mentioning how undisciplined we are; conveniently overlooking the fact that not only do we concede the most penalties, but we also receive decidedly few as well.

And so here is the evidence. Feel free to spread the word.

I've done this in the very vain hope that commentators will start taking note of how we also RECEIVE the fewest penalties as well as CONCEDE the most.

Surely this is more than just a coincidence.

Spread the word, folks!

Maybe it'll keep the refs on their toes.

Sorry the attachments aren't very big! Can't help that. But you get the picture.

Good work Tommy.

So the ill-discipline tag is bullshit.

Fark me, the Sharks receive a shite load of penalties.

Please post excel file...

I am interested to know how much of the reason that we receive less penalties is because we don't play ourselves. This would be the first response by most people and would be good to dismiss it.

I can't on here as the file is too big. But i'll try and post it to a file share site and provide the link.

Outstanding work Tommy. Thank heavens the Roosters don't have to play the sharks again this year.
Now I await the usual "but the Roosters are ill disciplined and only have themselves to blame" posts.

I like this new theory that we give them away on purpose......

These charts sort of dismiss that theory. Why would we be giving them away on purpose when we were crap?

Spot on K-L. That idiotic theory completely falls apart when you take seasons 2011 and 2012 into account. That part was conveniently forgotten by that ABC oxygen thief.
