Blow out scores : Sat Jun 30, 2018 8:42 pm  

Have there been any this season?

It wasn't too long ago that they were pretty common and not just when top played bottom - even some notable ones in the wigan v saints derby. so what gives? are teams better defensively or worse in attack, or are they just mentally tougher in that they don't give in when the scores pile up

are we slowly catching up with the nrl in this aspect of the game

Are you saying winning by 18 is a blow out score ??

ColD, ignore it.

Some would argue that when the winner scores 46 and the loser makes up most of its points in the last few minutes.

Dreary me, for a mod implant that's a pretty poor effort, but it keeps the posts ticking along

I agree, after 79 minutes it was 40-28 for full strength Toronto against a vastly under strength Leigh side. Salford, Widnes, Hull KR etc will be absolutely 'bricking it' at tonight's result.

Roll on the middle 8's when they have a 5 hour flight to an away game. Then the same again 2 weeks later. You won't be so LOUD then Chorley Cake.

Only 3 over 50 though. In the not too distant past we saw that in one round
