Time for another dose of our weekly rugby league stats and stuff but we are worried that our Alternative NRL Round 11 Tips will come under more scrutiny this weekend and be in danger of spending the internet’s equivalent of ten minutes off the field. Our website did crash for an hour or so yesterday so perhaps that has already been applied. The NRL move fast.
With your weekly NRL tipping, instead of allowing the competition admin to give you the away teams for when you don’t care about who you tip, why not take on board our weekly Alternative NRL Tipping method instead. You’ve got nothing to lose by coming this far already.
Each week we have a new theme, and occasionally it will have nothing to do with rugby league. Just the way we like it. This week is about the discipline records of each team so far in 2021.
In addition to the tips are a whole bunch of barely interesting stats for the round of NRL ahead. Impress your neighbours, parcel delivery drivers, and fellow passengers by stealing them and sharing.
Good luck with your Alternative NRL Round 11 Tips if you choose to use them.

NRL Round 11 Tips Alternative – Gurgler v Discipline
So here are this week’s alternative tips. The method to how it works is below.
METHOD TO THE MADNESS
We have got the stats from the NRL website for Send Offs, Sin Bins and On Reports for 2021 and got a total across the three with one point for each.
The team with the fewest points gets the tip as we are presuming they are less likely to get into trouble this week and therefore less likely to have players off the field and therefore more likely to win.
Note: Eels won on a countback of fewer sin bins. Gold Coast and Bulldogs have exactly the same everything so left us with no choice but to declare a draw.
