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

They easily have the shittest roster in the NRL. Just compare it to Melbourne, Manly's, Souths, Roosters, Dogs and just think how big the gap is in the quality of players. How does management f**k it up so bad when every club has the same salary cap to abide by?

The Eels need to turn it around kinda like the Sharkies did (minus the drugs). Back in 2010 & 2011 they easily had the shittest roster and you thought how the f**k are the Sharkies going to become a decent side anytime soon? A couple of smart buys, and a change of culture later made the Sharks an attractive place for players to want to go. But something definetly needs to change in management for that to happen

And therein lays an unpalatable truth: same salary cap.

You watch the good teams play and then you realise the shit teams are getting paid the same.

Which was the last side to cop a 50-point pasting two weeks in a row?

We may be seeing it happen this Saturday.

I don't know about LOSING BY 50 points in consecutive weeks. However, the last team to CONCEDE 50 points in consecutive games from what I know is Manly (Rd 16/17 2004). 5(c)uff$ however was the last team to concede 50 points 3 games in a row (Rd 21-23 2002). That is really poor defence at any level to conceed 50 in three straight games.

LOL@5(c)uff$!

Didn't the Warriors conced 100 points across the last 2 games of the season last year? Only scored 2-3 tries themselves too.

Might not have been 50 each week though

So, of the teams that have conceeded 50pts in a match this season so far:

Parramatta
Wests Tigers
NZ Warriors
Brisbane

Do any of those sides look like winning the premiership this year?
