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

Manly are lucky this is only a trial

its only a trial if you lose

Lucky for Manly the curse doesnt apply to trials

2008 Manly got hammered 56-10 by Melbourne only to go and beat Melbourne 40 nil in the grand final

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Bumped. For reasons.

No they didn't / they lost 26 - 4 & 16 - 10.

Posting so it's on the first page again. No other reason.

This thread feels a bit neglected this year which is surprising considering how shit the Broncos are again

It’s only the second round mate there’s still plenty of time...

Give it til round 4 and then we’ll be talking about the Donkeys.

I think the key word in the post you quoted is "trials", friend.

Roosters just cant land that final punch

Let’s get this fat lady warmed up.

Loosing by 26 points to St George probably count's you out too.

Exisiting counts Manly out.

Newcastle lost to the Dragons by 26pts (38-12) in 2001 and went on to win the Premiership

They also got beat 49-30 by Cronulla that season, hence the golden rule is 50 and not 49 in the first place

2001 did have some crazy scorelines like that however

It has been mentioned before but in 2001 Newcastle were on the wrong end of the below scorelines

42-8
46-18
40-0
49-30
38-12

They won the comp after conceding 679 points in the regular season. To give you an idea the Broncos conceded less than that last year albeit playing 6 fewer games. The titans in 2019 also conceded less (2 fewer games).

Add to that in 2002 the roosters were on the wrong end of a 48-10 mauling by Melbourne where they missed 3 conversions.

Early noughties was a strange period where defence was optional.

Unless payten pulls out the mother of all half time sprays, we have a live one here boys and girls

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Few good chances next round. Cant remember there ever being a round where there were 3 favourites paying under $1.10

 

[Angry_eel]

Given how injuries are going, I'd say there'll be a few 50 scores this year.
