| Quote ="John Charnock"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.'"
It also happened for Simms Cross away at Wigan in the cup a few years back, but there was no malice in that - it was just so the fans could take pictures of the scoreboard when they were beating Wigan! You just wouldn't consider 12/1 unless there was something up. Lot of chinese whispers in Cumbria yesterday. 
Quote ="Mr. Zucchini Head"tbf he is right. The chances of a drop goal being the first scoring play are very slim indeed. But I'd be amazed if the bookie gave anything higher than 50/1.'"
That's what I was getting at. You aren't going to get fair odds from a bookie (100 tops) and 500 is about right IMO. |

Thats better than I thought tbh, I don't tend to bet on drop goals much. 
I think I've only even seen one game where a drop goal was the first scoring play, that was an U21 final that finished 1-0. |

Bet you were glad you went to that game?
Lowest I can remember was a 4-2 in Australia. Luckily it was played behind a pub  |

Barrow won fair and square. I blame the ref.

Widnes beat Bradford once by a score of 2-1, all points from dropped goals.
Andy Gregory scored the winner - would have been about 6 November 1983. |

About 6 November 1983? Could you not be a bit more specific? |

Must be omething about paying against Braffut - Offiah's dropped goal was v them at the Willows. Allowed the chant of "one - nil" anyway.
We lost: xx - 1!

Sky really does have an effect on Thursday night games, moreso in the Championship. No doubt alot more Fax fans would have gone up there.
We had a shocking attendance against Haven (around 2,300) which is very low for us. Tonight we play Fev which isn't on Sky so it will interesting to see the difference...........

You have got to blame SKY for this one, if this match was played over the weekend it could have been 3500+. Sky OWN the RFL, they are not bothered about rising attendances (supporters) they are more interested in viewing figures. |
