Jarrod Kimber’s stats were really interesting from a NZ perspective - Williamson best average from all countries for the 2 year cycle this time, with Mitchell, Conway, Latham and Nicholls all featuring in the top batters list. The bowling on the other hand - collectively and individually ranking badly aside from Southee. I’d convinced myself it was only in the last couple of months of test playing we’d fallen off the bowling cliff but apparently not.

The Utting story did indeed made me want to wash my hands. The MacLennan story - words fail me. As Sally said above, it’s unlikely there’s more than one young woman and her family affected by his behaviour.

Sheesh, that Andrew Maclennan story was grubbier than expected. Horrendous. If parents with clearly financial means to use solicitors etc etc to try to get rid of him didn't do it, it makes one wonder about any others he's 'met' with whose parents weren't in the same position.

Time for Hogie's 'official' NRL ladder, now calculated using win percentage, because with the differing amounts of games played, even points accrued (without bye points) is still a bit skewed.

Broncos 80%

Panthers 69%

Storm 61%

Rabbitohs 60%

Warriors 57%

Raiders 57%

Sharks 54%

Dolphins 50%

Eels 50%

Sea eagles 50%

Roosters 46%

Titans 46%

Cowboys 42%

Knights 42%

Bulldogs 35%

Dragons 28%

Tigers 23%

Hello Dylan,

The article I referred to was from The Atlantic not The Athletic. It was behind paywall, as you rightly note. Perhaps I was wrong to copy and paste?
