If Penrith are switched on they will do the Roosters what Manly did to Penrith back in 1973

I was at that game aged 12. Walked by myself from home, South Penrith, Bozo tore us apart. Those were the good old days. My support never wavered. Took that pilmigridge walk from home across Jamison Park more times than I care to remember and on most occasions there wasn’t much joy around the walk home.

If we get 50 put on us by the panthers, and the panthers are better the the Broncos, then it's an improvement right?

Season saved. Move on

For some reason that game stuck in my mind because of the 70 pts which was really unheard of ( apart from a couple of Canterbury hidings in their first season of 80 and 90 points back in the 30s).

That is thing, you stick by your team through thick and thin and you never forget the bad days even when the good days roll around.. I grew up in Paddington in the 60 s about a 100 mtrs from the old Sports Ground and even though i was very young i remember some of the thumping Easts got although i'm lucky my memory banks were to young for the winless 1966 season even though was alive and might have been to a couple of games that year.

We really are over protective of our kids today.

I had five younger sisters so I guess my parents were only too happy to let me wander off on a four kilometre journey on foot, alone, with my little backpack, flag and not much else. A stale sandwich and drink whatever it was back in those days, can’t recall. Got in for free with my footy pass, watched all three games which was the norm in those days. Fond memories and ultimately the die was cast, a panther tragic To this day. No regrets.

When was the last time the Roosters conceded 50 points in consecutive matches?

It may have happened but i cannot remember one time but if it hasn't happened this Friday night is ripe for the picking.

I hope i'm mildly surprised but not holding out a lot of hope.

I fondly remember having early my parents trust being able to walk from home to Penrith station, catch the train and endure the up hill walk up Fouveax Street to get to the old dilapidated Sports Ground Or Cricket Ground if I was going to the cricket. Back in the 1970’s we use to watch the Sheffield Shield. Go figure that one out.

It's looking a bit scary but you never know might have an average night after Vegas. That's called the comedown.

Not expecting though.

I think we will win but won’t be close to 50. We were clunky in attack against the Sharks, new halves pairing and possible Vegas hangover.

I went to a VFL game in 1979 and my team Fitzroy had a 190 point win over Melbourne .That was a great day. There were seasons that my team didn't win a game but you turned up every Saturday hoping you didn't get too thrashed.
