Inside the Numbers – Rd. 12

We are through week 1 of the Bye period and there were some pumping scores in Round 12, remember the 3 week total score is far more important than just a 1 week return for those playing for overall rank.

Most highly ranked teams have a Brodie Grundy/Max Gawn Ruck set-up, that means it is only possible for those teams to field a maximum of 20 players in Round 13.

Bench depth will be severely tested this week.
