Round 2.
We did pretty much pick up where we left off.
@TheRam mate love your passion and hoping like hell we get our season on track this weekend.
To claim the 110 year record regarding 49 points being scored against the eventual premiers, you should in all honesty adjust the scoring in games played before tries were worth 4 points.
Based on this adjustment, the record is a mere 64 years old and has happened more than once since 1908.
In '53 the eventual Premiers, Souths lost 2 games with an adjusted score of more than 49 points against them. In Round 1 they lost to the Magpies who scored 8 tries and kicked 10 goals for an adjusted score of 52 points (originally it was 44-28. In Round 7 they also lost to the Bears who scored 9 tries and kicked 8 goals for an adjusted score of 52 points also (original was 43-13).
Going back to 1947 when the Tigers l won the comp, they got done by Souths to the tune of 46-10 which if adjusted would be 56 points as Souths scored 10 tries and kicked 8 goals.
Hopefully we are still in with a chance this year afterall

Players swap in attack all the time, especially between wing and centre. There is virtually no difference between the two in attack.
Jennings played on the left because Hayne preferred the right. Now that Auva'a is the other centre, Jennings has switched to allow him to play his preferred position. One upside is that we now have our best defensive back next to our worst, but if that was the priority we would have done it in round one.
Hindsight is great. I’m sure if we picked Kenny, started Evans over Alvaro, played and stuck with Hayne at back, had Jennings switch sides and Penishands wasn’t injured we beat Penriff and then Moanly off the back of that
He played on the left to allow Hayne to play his preferred side. Now he is moving back so Auva'a can play his preferred side. If the priority was just having Jennings outside Moses we would have done that in round one.
Except he's already been playing fullback. But this way when he has a rest it'll be at wing not centre.
He might not have known he was crook. Or worse, he might not have said anything. He is off contract, probably wants to keep paying the bills next year, and is in danger of falling out of the side if we win without him. He needs to be playing first grade while negotiating for 2019. Having a week off will be the last thing he wants to do.
Wouldn't that be f**ken terrible! Why follow the Eels if you're only concerned about winning premierships? Even the best team in the comp doesn't necessarily win the grand final that year.
And suppose those three teams are each a one-in-three chance of winning the comp this year (I disagree, but let's go with those numbers for the purposes of illustration) then they are each twice the chance of not winning the competition as they are of winning it. There are no sure things.
Didn't they basically just swap once per match?
How about their inability to stop an attacker when isolated on the tryline.
Mute (sp) point as none kicked in any of the quoted games.
That too. French was getting trampled.
