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

Wigan 46 8 leeds
Hull fc 45 salford 14
Wakey 54 18 hull kr
Wire 38 4 hudds
Salford 10 60 (12 men) saints
Saints 66 4 hudds
Salford 38 4 wakefield
Cas 41 0 Catalan
Wigan 44 6 hull kr
Wigan 48 10 hudds
Saints 46 6 cas

Catalans 44 Castleford 16
Toronto 46 Leigh 28

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

Don't forget Featherstone 36 Toulouse 18.

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

It’s not like we are back to the days of these scorelines

Leeds 86-6 Huddersfield
Bradford 96-16 Salford

I think there's a massive element of sides putting the cue on the rack. Doing enough to win and not playing with an intensity for 80 minutes because, why do they need to? Winning 30-10 is the same as winning 60-10. Coaches may reat pivots once the job is done.

In the old days there was a lot less disruption so teams could rack up big scores. What we have now is a lot of stop starts with time wasting, scrums, penalties to touch, feigning injuries goal line drop outs must take at least 10 mins out of the game.

Spot on

So not even games that could go to blow outs like 80-6, you lose out o games that can go to 42-40

Seriously??
