Last week we told you how Round 11 Dream Team scores would be calculated into a State of Origin competition… Well, the scores are in, and congrats to the Redbacks for winning this State of Origin clash!
Later this year we may do it in a more exhaustive format, looking at 22 players instead of merely 4 for each team, but nevertheless here’s the results.
Team (back, centre, ruck, forward):
SOUTH AUST: total = 516. Brian Harris (WBD) 161, Scott Thompson (ADE) 143, Brendon Lade (PTA) 84, Matthew Pavlich (FRE) 128
VIC: Total = 484. Dustin Fletcher (ESS) 130, Matthew Boyd (WBD) 138, Peter Everitt (SYD) 102, Brad Johnson (WBD) 114
WEST AUST: Total 446. Brett Jones (WCE) 124, Peter Bell (FRE) 134, Dean Cox (WCE) 86, Lance Franklin (HAW) 102
ALLIES: Total = 443. Josh Drummond (BRI) 111, James Hird (ESS) 116, Jamie Charman (BRI) 92, Russell Robertson (MEL) 114
** NB: Cut out the captain-scoring-double thing, due to Harris being the highest scorer this week by a mile. That function was intended to complicate the results, not exaggerate them.
Allies should have Charman (92) as their ruck and Robbertson (114) as their forward.
This would give them 433 and put them ahead of Western Australia.
Except Brett Jones actually scored 124, which gives WA 446
Done and done. Thanks for keeping me honest, fellas!
Haha no worries! A 4 man team would fluctuate quite a lot week to week, I wonder how an 8 man team would go? 2 X the positions for each team?
