Doesn't quite tally with what you said on Friday |

Od course they don't, there isn't one, except the concept of the 4th placed team being the 4th best midway through the season only counts in Rugby League. All other sports use a common sense approach |

| Quote: Kosh "Yes.
You're making a subjective judgement of our worth/quality compared to the other teams in SL. Our league table position is an objective assessment. It's also the only assessment that counts.
Right now we are the 4th best side in SL based on the only criteria that matters - league position. Simplez. No amount of sophistry will change that indisputable fact.'"
The fact we are 4th is indeed a FACT. The assertion that we are the 4th best team is opinion only until the season finishes |

Bull.
Personally I was against Agar's appointment from the start and my position hasn't changed. However I can rationally accept improvements that have been made.
Your view that the league table means nothing in terms of teams' relative strengths until the season is over is clearly rubbish. |

If you [iperform[/i better over a given period of time then you have [ibeen[/i better over that same period of time.
It really isn't a difficult concept.
The form and class comparison is actually pretty relevant, in that form is measurable in an objective fashion whereas class is a subjective judgement.
You don't win anything for being classy, mind. |

Nope. The assertion that we are the 4th best team [iright now[/i is a fact easily demonstrated by a glance at the league table. |

So by paulm's logic after 18 games the league shows how strong you are but after 27 rounds it doesn't ![]()
No. The league shows you how strong you have been over the period up to and including your last game.

Possibly you could point out where anyone has even mentioned Agar, much less defended him? |

So the team in the higher position didn't beat the team in the lower position?  |

League position now gives an idication ovviously but isn't definitive proof.
Are you really saying that a team could be 3rd best team one week, 4th best the next and 2nd best the week after?
It's a completely flawed argument |
