What an utterly embarassing score line. No excuse at all for that. If I was the rfl I would be investigating irregular betting patterns

einstien said insanity is when a person does the same thing over and over again but expects a different result: |

I think it's the quality of the west wales team rather than any irregular betting |

York are obviously a good team going off their performance against The Cats. I have played in 100+ games and remember just how much time it takes to score and kick and then restart. To score that many tries suggests that West wales barely saw the ball. It must be a worry for the integrity of the league and the welfare of players. Next year I imagine that York will be looking to move up.
On another note, were all of the scores mentioned using the same scoring system. I assume that Wigan's 116-0 against Flimby and Fothergill (?) would have been using 3 point tries. (24 tries and 22 goals = 140 in todays money)

The Huddersfield (142-4) and Barrow (138-0) results included 4 point tries (the value increased from 3 in about 1983). The record score prior to that was also held by Huddersfield (119-2 v Swinton Park, an amateur club in the challenge cup) registered a few years prior to Wigan's win over Flimby and Fothergill. While the Huddersfield score from that day about a century ago may have been higher than 144 if we converted each 3 point try into a 4 point try (it could have been from 27 tries and 19 goals so 146 points in today's system for example) it would seem silly to discount a higher total on the scoreboard today from the record books due to the scoring system having changed. (There was a similar discussion IIRC when Kevin Sinfield broke Lewis Jones's points record for Leeds as Jones had scored 3 point tries).
Also to make direct comparison of scores difficult (if the desire to do so was there) at the time of Huddersfield's 119-2 win and Wigan's 116-0 win drop goals were worth 2 points so all goals were often lumped together. Jim Sullivan's record 22 goals in that game for Wigan may have included some DGs (however unlikely it seems that a team scoring over 20 tries would go for a DG) which today would reduce the total. The same could apply to the 119 point tally.

I played in a game once when we lost 66-6, it seemed like they scored off every set. How in Earth does a team have enough time to score 144 in 80 minutes?!

I'd assume they had half a team of College Union players in the side to make up the numbers

I wonder how long West Wales can survive for.Nobody wants to watch their team getting hammered every week.When games are so one sided there is no entertainment value for the winning supporters or the losing supporters or neutral spectators.

On a different slant, the one good news of this is that York in their wasps days were a poor side that could not win a match & went bust, they have regrouped & moved on so can the Welsh side. Maybe we should encourage the other sides to send some fringe players out on loan to help them build a strong base to build from. I certainly do not want to loose any club from any level of the game.

Whats the maximum realistically possible score in RL? As has been said above, 144 is pretty much Try - Conversion - Kick off - Repeat.
Did anybody see the game? Would be interested to hear from them.

Could not the ref have shown a little empathy blown his whistle and ended the game after say 60 minutes. I know this used to happen in my old amateur days during massive mis-matches, particularly cup games. Or am I being too snowflaky?

If you assume just one minute off the clock per conversion attempt you have used up over a quater of the game.
|
|
|
|

80 x 60 = 4,800 seconds in the game. Divide this by 25 tries and you get 192 seconds per try scored and conversion taken.......you have to reckon it's 30 seconds for conversion preparation and another 30 seconds as they trudge back up to take the restart....so pretty much 130 seconds a score......a tackle and play the ball and tackle again is say 18 seconds.....so yip, it's fair to assume that York scored in every set or bloody close too it.
Only the british do farce this well......

When Huddersfield hit 142 in 1994 we scored 26 tries (19 goals) and if my memory serves me correct only 6 of those were direct from the kick-off, Blackpool also scored a try so with the time given for goalkicks etc i presume it's possible to score even more.

I was there. It was a strange game to watch and you certainly felt for the West Wales team. They played the game in brilliant spirit right up to the final whistle. They're just very inexperienced young union players (by and large).
West Wales had 5 sets in the entire game. They dropped the ball from the kick off, got drove back in goal on tackle 2, and got to the last tackle on three occasions.
The try minute breakdown was: Jackson (1), Moss (10, 28, 46, 52, 54, 66, 74), Robinson (12, 25), Hey (14), Porter (16), Robson (18, 79), Batchelor (30), Dixon (32, 77), Horne (34, 44, 50), Mazive (41), Smith (58, 70), Kelly (60), Robinson (6icon_cool.gif.

HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.
