Comparison :

Difference in total points per game - 6 points per game.

Looking at the best defensive sides in each competition, there is little difference in the averages, with 2 points being the margin

Looking at the best attacking sides in each competition, the SL club has a much higher average than the nrl club by 9 points

Looking at the worst defending sides, its fairly similar in either competition.

Looking at the worst attacking sides, the SL side is slightly ahead.

On this comparison SL fares very favourable to the nrl

its interesting but i dont see what purpose it serves really it doesnt prove the NRL/SL are similar, just that both comps are close.

Exactly, they are close, you don't want similar, they have two styles of RL playing, but show that overall the comps are close.
