The NRL season is still here for now and for now we still have the spine of family and/or work life during winter – Footy Tipping. But sometimes it can be a chore, or you can’t quite tell your Billy Magoulias’ from your Tino Fa’asuamaleaui’s, so then allow us to introduce our NRL Round 2 Tipping Method.
Instead of allowing the competition admin to give you away teams for when you don’t care, why not take on board our weekly Alternative NRL Tipping method. Each week there will be a new theme, and occasionally it will have nothing to do with rugby league. Just the way you like it.
This week’s Alternative NRL Round 2 Tipping Method is all about which team performs best with fewer fans.
Our theory is that a team that is better at winning games with fewer people watching will be best prepared for this weekend, the first without fans.
Alternative NRL Round 2 Tipping Method – First Round Form
Here are the Alternative NRL Round 2 Tipping selection you need. Refer below for the method behind the madness.
METHOD
We got the average crowd figure for each team’s games for the last ten seasons, home or away, and then added up their competition wins and came up with the figure – number of people per NRL win.
Of course the smaller the figure, the better the team is at winning with fewer people watching.
Needlessly complicated? You know it.
But hey, you could do your own NRL tips.
