I agree with the original poster that 12/1 are ridiculously poor odds for a drop goal being the first score. I've been watching rugby league for over 40 years, well over 500 live games, and only once have I seen a game where a drop goal was the first score (Martin Offiah for Salford, I think against Wigan) and there were suspicions about the reason for that. 500/1 would seem about right as long as the players had not been nobbled. It is interesting that no-one last night even attempted a drop goal until Barrow had scored their first try.
