Will it ever happen? Long-term predictions thread

[The Colonel]

The 40-0 win was a record winning margin in a grand final, surpassing the Roosters' 38-0 destruction of St George in 1975. The Sea Eagles scored eight tries, burying memories of last year's 34-8 loss to the Storm in the decider.

Just so you can see it in writing. Seemingly takes things longer for Easts fans to understand something.

Truth and newspapers.

You're on fire. :lol::lol:

 

[Pass the Ball]

Regardless, St.George supporters should still be very embarrassed about being bent over like that in 1975...

Easts supporters can still be proud of the way their boys destroyed the Dragons that day...

However the record book will state the largest winning margin in a grand final as Manly 40 Melbourne 0 - 2008....

 

[Brycey]

ffs another thread hijacked by this argument.

Fact of the matter is if you look back in the record books Roosters margin was 38 Manly's is 40.

You play to what the rules are at the time, the only time you should ever compare equal scoring is when showing biggest winning margins against the Bulldogs.

 

[Apey]

Lol..

Fein seems to think the problem is that we can't multiply by 4.

Whoooooooooooooooooosh.

21. Will Brian Smith ever win a premiership?


Yes, next year

Since when has a rugby league game been a natural disaster?

1998 Preliminary Final. The day Paul Cariage won the Peter Moore medal for services to the Canterbury club. Oh the shame.........

Yes, Manly have the winning margin in numbers.

Easts, however, hold the record for the widest margin in point scoring events in a game, as Saints would have had to score more times to draw level than Melbourne.

And Souths hold the record for the most points scored.

Nothing natural about Carige..... Brett Kenny on the other hand.

Only if Melbourne convert every try...... and the fact remains that 40 is still higher than 38.

Eastern Suburbs still hold this record over St George given the 4 points for a try factor.

And no, Manly will be the closest any team will ever come to that.

But what about the 5 meter rule and all the other factors you have to take into consideration? ;-)

It's about the points mate. ;-)

The points quite clearly say that we don't hold the record any more...
