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

I feel a meltdown next week

Covid impact will break this

I do love this thread though

 

[Floodwaters]

Unless they get rid of the 6 again rule this thread will be ancient history come 10 years time.

 

[Eelectrica]

Help us Penrith Panthers, you're our only hope.

Souths might just do it. Not sure I want them to though.

 

[Fangs]

Penrith once again are responsible for the history for this great game.

Its Rugby League and its history on the line next Sunday.

$1.60 odd about Penrith is stealing. Souths no hope with this curse doubling down hard on them

 

[Yosemite Sam]

If Penrith defend the way they have the past 2 weeks Souths won't get near them. Record is safe.

I guess it helps if you pretend they haven't been playing this way for 3 weeks

Souths not only let 50 in once but twice in 2021. It's all up to the Panthers to preserve this sacred law.

If souths win can we just change the title to “No team has ever won the premiership after conceding 57pts in a regular season match”

Nope doesn’t feel the same

I really don’t want to cheer on panthers

Getting this warmed up, come on you Penny Panthers!!!

History says neither team can win.

Souths have the 50 point curse.

Panthers have a coach who cant win it. I recall a stat popping up somewhere that no coach has ever won their first premiership after 300 games IIRC.


Regardless of the winner. Average coaches or teams will be able to enjoy the fact one of these teams has proven it possible to win with either an average coach or a 50 point loss in a season.

I think it was over 250 games from memory, but that stat doesn't bring nearly as much joy as this one does.

If Souths win both Manly and Penrith should be expelled from the comp for bringing the game into disrepute.

A new thread maybe?

"No team has ever won the premiership after conceding 50pts in a regular season match, although they managed to have 50 points scored against them in a grand final"

The Panthers have rarely given up more than 12 points at full strength. An average of 12 points last year (11.9 to be precise) and 12 points this year ( 11.91 to be precise). Taking into account the stern defensive efforts this year, coupled with the other obvious things factored in most notably that we are playing with a sense of redemption, which IMO is the strongest drive that is motivating us.

When you add everything up, I honestly cannot see us losing this GF.

We average 11.9 points against us.

But we haven't scored more than that through the finals. Our defence is premiership quality. Definitely.

Our attack has struggled to click since Origin. Put on points against a few reserve grade quality sides. But otherwise its just not clicking for us. We will definitely do everything we can to win. But Souths attack is in better form than ours and their defence is greatly improved over the Souths side we put 50 on. We only managed one try against them in week 1 of finals

At least we could write the 50 point curse off due to Vlandysball. How can we write the coach one off?

Massive pressure on the Panthers to maintain the 50 point streak.

If they fail, every fan of a team that is thrashed by 50+ points moving forward will be clamoring they have just started their premiership run..
