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

[dogslife]

It has only ever been a number anyways.

Not saying we will do it, I dont think we will but as mentioned in this thread earlier if not for errant goal kicking this stat would have been broken by knights in 01 (49) and then again by chooks in 02 (48).

Last time we conceded 60 was in 2010 where we made GF.

And now Brett Morris plays for you, maybe he'll stay in this time

Ease up tiger. We have a bit of a way to go yet.

You need to up your smug mate.

The 2010 side wasn't like this year's side. Ran 6th, had a blessed run facing a Tigers side that were desperately unlucky, a Panthers side that were racked by injury and weren't very good either, and a Titans who inexplicably choked. The Dragons were miles ahead of everyone that year.

Still wasn't a bad effort by the Roosters after finishing 2009 with the spoon but as you say the Dragons were miles ahead of everyone that year.

I feel confident you won't find a single person who disagrees with you there.

My point is the 50 curse is just a number and the roosters nearly broke it in 2010. It will be broken one day.

For sure.

We lost 50-6 or something to the dragons the season after we won our first

Other way round wasn’t it? I seem to remember the storm pumping the dragons by about 70 that year after Mundine mouthed off before the game

Roosters gorn and the entire rugby league world thanks us for it.

First game 70-10 to Melbourne. Second game 50-4 to us.

on the subject of potential "records"
Has that happened on more than 1 occasion? a team to lose by more than 50 then win by more than 50 against the same team in 1 season?

And with that, we’re back in it.

I seem to remember the johns brothers trading 40+ wallopings when Matty was at sharks circa 01/02... don't think it reached 50 though

Three-peat for sure.

Three-peat for sure.

A three-peat of 50+ losses?
I can get behind that

Matty didn't play the day Cronulla walloped the Knights down there that year.

Anyway, would have loved Keary to have said "Well looks like that record is set to be broken this year" when fox asked him post game about the 50 point thing.

Full time score 32-8. 26-0 in the second half. Yep... you nearly got there.

Nearly as in made the GF which is as close as you can get without winning.

You of course knew this, just being your normal difficult self.

Touchy. Actually, you could have got a lot closer.
26-0 in the second half. How is that difficult?
