Record for keeping teams scoreless in a season

The Raiders have so far kept three teams to 0 this season:

Round 1 vs Titans - 21-0
Round 5 vs Eels - 19 - 0
Round 13 vs Tigers - 28 - 0

Would be interesting to know what the record is for number of times a team has kept their opposition scoreless in a season.

Roosters in 2013 were a supremely good defensive team, Dragons in 2010, Manly in 1996... Probably some Storm teams.

One for David Middleton. I can tell you that the Raiders have now equalled the St George side of 1963 who conceded nil three times in 18 rounds. On a further 6 occasions the Dragons did not concede a try. They conceded 115 points (15 tries) in 21 games including finals.

We had 5 in 2013 regular season and one more on the finals.

Worth noting that it isn't necessarily an indicator of the best defence as we had a better against in 2015 and I think we maybe kept one team scoreless.

Chooks have the record at 6 in 2013, they were unreal that year.

Not a Chooks fan but I remember them being absolutely smothering in that period. Tough defensive unit. Wow, 6 is massive. I'd love it if the Green Wall can get near it.

@madunit and the RLP team can probably figure this out pretty quickly.
Their database is the best RL database on the internet by some considerable distance

2013 Roosters:

Rnd 3: Roosters 8 Broncos 0
Rnd 4: Roosters 50 Eels 0
Rnd 6: Roosters 38 Bulldogs 0
Rnd 17: Roosters 36 Dragons 0
Rnd 19: Roosters 40 Sharks 0
Finals Wk1: Roosters 4 Manly 0

That's the record dating all the way back to 1908. Some effort.

The Raiders defence shows that they're a Premiership threat imo IF they have luck with injuries (a prerequisite to win the comp).

Eels obviously didn’t win the comp that year

Indeed.

I made a thread on Twitter about it the other day


Some surprising ones in there

Cowboys in 2016 held teams to nil 4 times!
The Steelers in 93, good effort
Sharks in 94 - they didn't even make the finals that year either

I was on the Gold Coast in December 2012 and got into a discussion with a few guys about how the Roosters had made great signings and a new approach with Robinson was going to change things. They all laughed at me.
