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

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Outside of Brisbane, North Queensland, Roosters and Souths I don't think anyone is genuinely contending. Warriors were a smokey but without Johnson they're done.

Yeh, its a shame Johnson is gone. Warriors would have been my bandwagon choice...

I reckon Storm and Dogs could give t a shake.

Storm's attack has been really clunky this year and they need Slater to go all the way. Dogs have nothing in attack and their defense isn't as good as it has been in years gone by.

Dragons came oh so close to winning it from 6th in 99.

You cheeky mother-f**ker. Don't try and pretend you weren't still a Bears fan in 99.

 

[captainwarrior]

Brisbane should have just been added to the list.

 

[Jason Maher]

Haha. Was going to bump this. The ref just saved the donkeys season.

 

[user_nat]

Ref saving us is a sign. We got this.

 

[zmt]

Ahhhh was about to bump this aswell

but has a team ever gone on to win the competition after conceding 44 points?

Knights conceded 40+ points 4 times in 2001.

42 v Brisbane in Round 5
46 v Canterbury in Round 16
40 v Parramatta in Round 17
49 v Cronulla in Round 22

Also conceded 38 and 36 points in games.

Doubt there would be many premiership winning sides to have suffered that many heavy defeats in a season...

Should have been 50. The Broncos chickens all came home to roost on the one night. It remains to be seen how they respond to being so brutally exposed by a side who are unlikely to make the finals.

Chooks conceded 48 in 02, Tigs 44 in 05.

Plenty of other 40 point margins too, it's the 50 that rules you out.

Thanks for playing Warriors.

Broncos came very close against the Sea Eagles in Gosford a few weeks ago.

As I said earlier, 49 is the highest that has been conceded by a premiership-winning side (Newcastle in 2001).
50 and you're GOOOOOOOOOORNE!

 

[typicalfan]

No team has ever won the premiership with the name New Zealand Warriors. Fact.

 

[undertaker]

How about that Ricky Stuart! And that Sandow! Now they just need someone like Corey Norman...

Be careful what you wish for:lol:

 

[Saint Doc]

Wish the Broncos had pushed for another try instead of the field goal!

 

[DiegoNT]

Best dumb and dumber impression*
'So your saying there IS a chance!?'

 

[harboo]

So the Bunnies still have a chance to win the grand final they only conceded 47 points last night
