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

Was Mitch Healy still playing for the Sharks then

He wasn't:

Witty was steering the Eels in the #7 though.

It looked more like a Stephen Kearney coached side

We didn't look like a John Lang coached side in 2012. Doggies looked like nothing but a Hasler coached side in 2012.

If the Eels had the right coach, they'd have improved a lot more than they have by now.

gotta feel bad for david peachey. how many players can say they've been involved in 70 and 66 point hidings at the top grade in their careers?

 

[undertaker]

That was ten years ago you plank. Different side, different game different f**king everything.

The rabbletohs won the spoon in 2003. Good times.

Didn't the Sharks also have 2 or 3 players sent off that game, and that was when the points started to pile on? That David peachey send off though was hilarious:lol:

 

[BunniesMan]

Has Ricky had his post match whinge on Fox yet?

Basically calling his team shit:

2 sent and 1 binned. still would have lost at half time, but ran up the white flag something awful.

Can you believe Souffs lost a game 66-0 at home just a few years ago, in front of like 6k fans on a perfect day?

Ahhh good times that day.

Mate, that's not even remotely true. You cannot turn a team of park footballers (using the term very loosely) into First Graders.

It's hard to believe Ray Price played for the eels only a few years ago.

 

[Dr Crane]

yeah. why did he retire mid-season? can they coax him back?

 

[HowHigh]

lol @ 2003 being just a few years ago

 

[sharko]

The Eels have been doing this for a while with a lot of coaches and their usual admin..with a with soccer team absolutely pasting them as far as crowds and sponsors they should consider a joint side with the Panthers..Wests and Balmain did it, as did Saints and Wollongong.
Rugby league in western Sydney needs proper and well run sides, not the rabble of late.

I don't subscribe to that theory. According to that logic, you really think Wayne Bennett could've improved the Knights if he had the side we had in 2007 after Joey retired? (With all those hack players who couldn't perform without Joey in the side, like Riley Brown, Clint Newton, Josh Perry, Reegan Tanner etc.):lol: not even a clone of Bennett, Gibson and Gould combined could've got that team above 15th spot (where we should've got the wooden spoon had we not pulled a rabbit out of the hat in the last 8 minutes vs Tigers), let alone been a top 8 side during their tenure at Newcastle with that exact same side

Oh, not this again. :crazy:

LMAO how did the bash brothers lose by 70 to that team

2 sin bins and 2 send offs helped

 

[some11]

He felt his combined age was too old.

Ahhh good times that day.

Even better times at this game I was very fortunate to be at (which still remains our highest winning margin to this day):

Well, somebody should tell a few of the board members who were talking shit and how ricky was their great white hope. I know this doesnt mean youre all like that, but some of you were talking up your hopes quite a bit.

Our hopes? Meaning we wouldnt win the spoon?

I love these genii who think Stephen Kearney is a supercoach. :lol:

But hey, anything can happen. Just a few weeks ago we won the 1986 grand final........

Funniest moment that game I remember as a youngster was when the Knights were leading 48-0 and Souffs got a penalty on the Knights40m line and as Julian O'Neill was going to kick for touch, an old man yelled out in the crowd "take the 2, take the 2!', and O'Neill shat himself as he kicked for touch
