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

[Rabbit toes]

If Souths manage to actually win this year we can still claim that no team that has lost by 50 once in a season have gone on to win the competition

Id be sad to see this thread go

Please resurrect this in a fortnight.

We’re relying on Manly or Roosters in the prelim or most likely Storm in the GF to keep this thread alive *shivers*

Great thread in itself but effects so many game day threads as well.

Roosters have already brought up the Fiddy.

Roosters have already brought up the Fiddy.

So it’s down to Manly and Storm for the greater good

 

[Apey]

The mighty Knights are out, leaving Storm, Penrith or Manly.

 

[Sphagnum]

Parra, Souths and the roosters all still in the fight. If parra and the roosters both win on the weekend, the storm will be the only team left to maintain this record.

Bump

Roosters better aim up in defence, if they give up 50 their premiership hopes will be over.

If it's a Sloth Sydney v Parramatta GF this year then Armageddon is here.

Maybe that's for the best

It deepends what is the greater Good...

Is this it? Can it happen?

Coming up against Melbourne, Bennett's record vs Bellyache, nah no chance.

Last time they faced off in a grand final, Bennett’s underdog Broncos beat the Storm

That was a different time, different brand of football. The Big 4 for Melbourne hadn't hit their straps yet and the Broncos had a tonne of GF experience in that side (it was the 4th Premiership for Locky, Thorn, Carroll and Webcke). Bennett has struggled to beat Bellyache coached sides ever since.

What an exciting chance to end a 113 year record.

Considering south’s conceded 50pts against storm and panthers, I think it is more likely we’ll see our first 50pts in a GF

To be fair Penrith get all the accolades for that. I think we only had Murray out

But the Storm 50 point win is pretty irrelevant when we had no Reynolds, Latrell, Murray, Graham and a complete failed experiment of Cody to fullback. Benji and Hawkins as starting halves. Marsters at center who has never seen first grade again. It was as bad a team list as we've had all year

I feel a meltdown next week

Covid impact will break this
