@Ploegskaar (Comment #17)
That’s it… old master Dobson it was.
@Kaya 85 (Comment #16)
Rugby 365’s FNB Top 20, which was formulated by koshuisvader Paul Dobson and his team
What was the name of that schools rugby blog site where their top 20 was announced every week, purely on their qualitative subjective opinion and discussions…? I’m trying to recall…
I didn’t always agree eith them but it was fairly accurate over the years, give or take a few oversights.
@Grasshopper (Comment #13)
Westville certainly close or in top 25 in my opinion…
I wonder if there is a way to calculate rankings based on an Elo system…like chess ratings, because all chess players can never play all others either, yet the system seems very accurate in determining definitive positions in a competitive pecking order.
But I have to give credit to the current rankings because they are at least attempting it, which I and everyone else wouldn’t have a clue how to do.
@Rugby 4 Life (Comment #10)
That first one was estimated ranking done by Beet based loosly on the formula.
@OUD ANKER (Comment #7)
I would say Glenwood at 40th is about right, should never have lost to Nico Malan. Westville are definitely in the Top 50, that’s a given…
This system has always been lopsided, BTW that’s another way of saying biased. There are always countless complaints and discrepancies…e.g. EG Jansen at this stage of the season at least in the 6-10 band…but OK, I don’t have a better system than this one.
Dink nie mens kan werklik voor einde Mei na rankings begin kyk nie. Dit gese, dink dit gaan moeilik wees vir die res om die top 5 binne te dring.
En altwee die BHP rankings sê week ending 20 April. Maar op die ander lys n Paar dae terug was Monnas 9. Nou is hulle 18. Het hulle miskien Helpmekaar gewen op die 20ste en toe later die middag 2 ander games verloor om so te val in n paar ure? 😂
Ek stem net Saam met die top 8. Die res van die lys glad nie. En Helpmekaar het ek ook nie in die top 50 gesien nie. Ek is nie n Helpies fan nie maar hulle sal ten minste 25 van hierdie spanne in die top 50 redelik maklik pakslae gee. Die top 50 lys n klomp nonsens…
Ander rankings baie meer accurate
@PRondersteuner (Comment #4)
Vir wat dit mag werd wees ‘n ander ranking site het die top 6 as 1.Grey, 2.Gim, 3. Paul Roos, 4. Affies, 5. HJS, 6. Garsfontein
@Grasshopper (Comment #2)
For what its worth another ranking site has Glenwood at 38, Monnas at 20, Westville at 23, Jeppe at 9, HTS Middelburg at 62 and Middelburg at 49.
How does Jeppe drop to #24??? We have lost 3 games to only Top8 schools and beat Sir George Grey’s Bloemfontein school.
@PRondersteuner (Comment #4)
Glad nie moeilik nie.Daars n vas gestelde kriteria waarvolgens die ranking werk en word baie mooi verduidelik.Dit werk nie een jaar so en die ander jaar op gevoel nie.Garsies het met 2 punte teen Affies en HJS verloor en met minder as 7 teen Oakdale.So hulle het 80% van 5(die kat punte vir daai spanne)maw 4 per wedstryd gekry.Ek is nie seker van Oakdale nie,miskien 4.5.Dan vir Jeppe wat ek dink kat 4 span is gewen wat vir Grey gewen het.So nie top 50 bietjie n stretch.Jammer ons kan nie die afgelope 2 jaar speel nie.Miskien volgende jaar dan maak julle dit miskien 1 elk.
Om die rankings uit te werk is vrek moeilik en eintlik onmoontlik, maar ek kannie dink dat Garsfontein se stats reg is en nog steeds in top 10 is nie. Met daardie stats moet hulle nie in top 50 wees nie
MIDDELBURG DERBY
Westville beat Monnas but don’t make too 50? BHP please check your calculations
A very sad day for me, the Green Machine drop out of the top 50, probably first time in 25 years. Unlikely to beat Hilton so will drop further. I have no doubt they would beat many of the sides from 30 to 50 but don’t get that chance. From averaging about 8th in SA over a period of say 8 years to this, massive fall from grace…..:-(
