My view of teams’ performances on the 2016 Ladder compared to their positions on the Ladder at the end of the regular season in 2015.
Winners
I have been following the performances of winning teams in 2016.
My chart for the profile of winners using lowest and highest margin per quarter and the median score per quarter is:
Performances After a Bye Week
I am fascinated by the science and art of modulating training programs. I monitor teams’ performances after their by week to visualise trends. My scale of momentum points is very basic and is independent of home or away games and ability of opponents. I use 1 for a win and -1 for a defeat.
Teams who had a bye in Week 13
Teams who had a bye in Week 14
Teams who had a bye in Week 15
