Here is my complete(ly flawed) analysis of Knight vs. Sutton vs. RFM using NRL.com stats for this season.
*note* Knight has only played 4 games, so I picked 4 somewhat similar Bulldogs games that had to feature RFM and Sutton. This worked surprisingly decently vs. the same opponent, as our team performed similarly against Storm (we won 26 - 12, they won 28 - 12), Tigers (we won 26 - 22, they won 20 - 0), and Eels (Eels beat us 30 - 4, Eels beat Rabbit 36 - 16). For the fourth game, I looked for a close loss to match Rabbits losing 26 - 33 against Raiders. This gave us our 14 - 16 loss against Warriors (which we should've won, grrrrr!)
