Best source for statistics?

Posted by slip on March 2, 2017 at 9:24am

They can all vary when trying to work out player statistics (games played) or head to head against other teams.

Which source would you recommend as the best -

Big League Magazine (Only has head to head against other teams and biggest wins)

Wikipedia

Rugby League Project

Parramatta Eels Handbook (Stats only go up until 2004)

Really depends on what sort of stats you're looking for, Slip.

Personally, when I do mine, I correlate them with RLP from a historical perspective. They're the most accurate in that regard, as well as in head-to-heads dating back to the club's inception.

  Thanks Ricky. I might go with that.
  
  Example - RLP has Eels v Manly 147 games, but Big League 136 games.

I think that discrepancy comes with RLP's addition of the pre-season cup games throughout the 60's, 70's & 80's.

Like the Panasonic Cup, the Craven Mild Cup, etc.

So Big League might just include 136 regular first-grade games.
