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

I could be wrong but I think the Bulldogs went 3 games in a row that year scoring 50 points or more.
Spot on!

Prior to that game at the Showground, the Bulldogs scored 62 points the previous week vs Rabbitohs, then 50 points vs Storm, and then 56 vs Manly at Brookvale. No wonder Hazem El Masri ended up being the leading point-scorer that season, scoring 60 points across those three games alone.

Furthermore, hard to believe that in a few months time, this all occurred 23 years ago!

It would just morph into the "No team has ever won the premiership after conceding 51pts in a regular season match" if they did, but yeah I don't see it happening... I mean the side lost to the Cowboys, they don't deserve a premiership

Someone figure this stat out.

Which player has suffered the most 50 points conceded defeats?

They are....but nope, not this Storm side.

Melbourne conceding 50 at home. Just when you think the world has gone grey, it becomes beautiful again

You haven’t 50’d them.
I have fond memories of a night at Marathon where we piled the points on them and the crowd sent a Mexican wave around the stadium uninterrupted at least 10 times. Thought we may have hit the 50 but seemingly not

This will probably be the result that makes the NRL realise they tipped the rules too far back into 2020-21 chaos territory.
lol those 2 years were so disgraceful they shouldn’t be taken seriously. 2021 was a bit less farcical but 2020 was so disgraceful I don’t count it. It should never be respected

Would guess it was someone who played for Wests-Wests Tigers around the turn of the century or someone who played for Souths before and after they were cut with a stint at someone like the Cowboys or the like whilst they were exiled.
