Home Field Advantage in NRL Season 2017

Been trying to work out whether Home field advantage is still a thing in the NRL. Hard to work out as it appears teams seem to move their home games around from time to time. Also, my system is having a shocker so wondering if it is because the home field advantage is no longer relevant in NRL.


Well based on 2017, there are really only 6 teams who's Home record is better than their overall record.


They are (in order)


Warriors (100% better)
Newcastle (100% better)
Raiders (50% better)
Panthers (30% better)
Broncos (19% better)
Roosters (7% better)


Interesting that all these teams basically have their home grounds in one location, rather than the modern practice of sharing a home ground with other teams...like ANZ Stadium.


As for those who get no love from home field advantage


Sharks (64% worse)
Manly (60% worse)
Rabbits (50% worse)
Tigers (17% worse)
Dragons (17% worse)
Cowboys (17% worse)
