Defending premiers and premiers copping a huge defeat.
Over the years theres been some interesting stats on teams who won the premiership the previous year conceding heavy defeats, and also teams who conceded heavy defeats but go on to win the premiership.
Defending premiers:
Bulldogs 2005- 48-12 Vs Cowboys
Panthers 2004- 66-14 Vs Melbourne (record)
Newcastle 2002- 64-14 Vs Cronulla
Brisbane 2001- 44-0 vs Newcastle
Melbourne 2000- 50-4 Vs Dragons
Brisbane 1999- 48-6 Vs Melbourne
Manly 1997- 41-8 Vs Norths
Premiers:
Bulldogs 2004- 35-0 Vs Roosters
Penrith 2003- 42-16 Vs Melbourne
Roosters 2002- 48-10 Vs Melbourne
Newcastle 2001- 40-0 Vs Parramatta
Brisbane 2000- 28-0 Vs Roosters
Bulldogs 1995- 42-0 Vs Newcastle (record)
Brisbane 1993- 40-20 Vs Norths
No side in history has conceded 50 points and gone on to win a premiership, the highest score conceded was 49 by Newcastle when lost 49-30 to Cronulla.
So far Brisbane (50-4 vs Melbourne), North Qld (50-12 Vs Parramatta) and Parramatta (54-14 Vs Brisbane) are the only sides in the top 8 so far who have conceded 50 points. Will everyone write them off now?
