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

I’m sure Channel 9, Wally Lewis and the Courier Mail will still be talking up the donkeys

A team losing by 50 and putting 50 on someone else in the same season has to be some sort of record.

Illawarra did it in successive weeks in 1996. Brisbane beat us 54-4, and the following week we responded by beating Souths 56-14.

If you adjust to modern scoring, we did it the other way around in 1982, beating Canberra 45-0 (54-0), then losing to Newtown 51-0 (61-0) in successive weeks.

St. George-Illawarra also did it in successive weeks in 2000. Beaten 50-4 by the Cowboys, then the next week beat the Warriors 54-0.

The Eels lost 50-12 to the Storm in rnd 23, 2003. The following week they beat the Sharks 74-4, who themselves put 54 on the Rabbits a week later.

That 74-4 game was great. I think about a million Sharks players got put in the bin and sent off that night, and the ref just stopped penalising them but they still ran the score up.

Shayne Hayne to David Peachey, "stop waving your hands at me".

Peachey to Shayne Hayne, "this is how I talk, Shayne! ... with my hands".
