No team has ever won the premiership after conceding 50pts in a regular season match

Allow me to preface my point by stating two things:

(1) I'm embarrassed by that performance, but Manly deserved it; and

(2) we will not be a serious title contender for some time (and it just because of this loss, but we are a few players short of being a genuine threat).

But before 2009, no team had ever made the Grand Final from 8th, and we did that...

I don't think we will go anywhere near the title - all I'm saying is records are made to be broken.

Also, congrats to Manly - as a Parra fan, that was f**king embarrassing.

Sorry bro you seem decent but your name after today is an oxymoron

Mate I love this team, always have and always will. I’m not blind though and will call shit as I see it. Today’s effort and 90% of last weeks are both f**king pathetic. 78-0 since what, the 20th minute of round one? Nah that’s f**king garbage.

Too early to write them off based on yesterday.

I think with a change of attitude, one or two players, playing style & other results going their way, they are a good chance of finishing 12th.

So predictions of a wooden spoon are ridiculous.

whilst it is true that no team has won after conceding 50 ... it is only due to goal kicking.

Newcastle are the closet - in 2001 they conceded 49 to the Sharks in Round 22 - Mat Rogers kicking 8 from 11.

So it is true but only just.

Damn, if only Martin Lang had a go at that field goal he was eyeing off

I can't believe what happened in that game. This eels team is better than that. I wonder how long til this potential super-club of Australian sport wins another premiership. I think they have the longest streak without a premiership of active clubs don't they - 1986?

1994 - Raiders
1995 - Warriors
2001 - Newcastle
2003 - Penrith
2004 - Bulldogs
2005 - Tigers
2006 - Broncos
2007 - Titans
2010 - Dragons
2011 - Manly
2013 - Roosters
2014 - Souths
2015 - Cowboys
2016 - Sharks
2017 - Storm

Yeah but you seriously can’t compare the 2018 Eels to the 2001 Knights side. They were in a different galaxy.

Warriors have never won a title and 1995 was their first year and they finished 10th.
