As we left Wakey with our tails between our legs, I thought, as is my way of getting this out in the open, I felt reading the Wakey fans opinions, how much this game meant to them, I don’t think we were on board with this, and after being dismantled and punished by a rampant Wakey team, wondered what other big defeats have happened in the Super league era.

I am not a statistic man, and tend to use my memory “rightly or wrongly” rather than the old google for reference.

Now as a couple of our usual friends from across the river have been sing at our a##e kicking, I will start with them I am sure they were beaten at their home by some 80points or did I imagine it. Is this the record defeat?

Other big defeats anyone, just for therapy.

Our 6-84 defeat by Wigan in 2013 is the biggest home defeat in SL. Strangely, perhaps, it was sandwiched between Rovers wins against Hull and St Helens.
Whenever an away team pulls into a big early lead I hope it’ll see the record overtaken. Similarly if any team goes up by more than 26 points early on, I hope hope for a comeback so we can lose the record for the biggest lead given away (also against Wigan) - if it is the away team, i’m torn.

The biggest margin of victory in a SL game was in 2000 when Bradford hosted and beat Salford 96-16.

In League 1, West Wales have been having a torrid time this year, and those lads deserve credit for keeping going.

Our record Super League score was the 82-6 home win over Salford in 2004 (fifteen tries and eleven goals). Four weeks later we beat Widnes 70-4 at the KC and the week after that we won 52-18 at Cas.

Record away win was 70-6 at Bradford in 2012.

You also had the biggest home win in 2013 with 72-10 defeat of Widnes.
Your defeat yesterday was this season’s biggest so far. Biggest wins in recent seasons:
2014 widnes 64 London 10
2015 Warrington 80 Wakefield 0
2016 Wakefield 62 Wigan 0 (despite ultimate relegation, Rovers had the biggest away win at Cas)
2017 Cas 66 Leeds 10


Edit. Rovers put 70 on wakefield (who seem to end up on either side of a lot of these big scores) and Cas in 2011 and 2012, respectively.

Some days the momentum just keeps growing rather swinging!

Come On You Ull, it does happen a lot “he says looking for closure” but you certainly remember it more when it happens to thee.

Back when we could put big scores on teams and was entertaining.

I'm a Wakey fan and can remember a long ride home from Brentford having shipped 74 points to London Broncos. I don't think me and my mate spoke till we got to Leicester Forest East Services we were that gutted. For that and a few other shellackings we've had over the years I didn't feel it neccessary to gloat about yesterday.

Top man Lyndsay

Only good thing about that day was the 5 cans of VB submerged in the bucket of ice, but at least we got a couple of tries, unlike against Wire away when we got an almighty shallacking and lost 80-0.
Felt for their fans who once again turned out in numbers only to be let down by the players.

On the subject of record defeats, a depleted Hull team and Wakefield Trinity takes me back to Wembley 1960 when Trinity hammered us in the CC final. It became a record winning score and margin in a final in that cup's history. Also the first try by Wakefield remains the fastest ever scored in the CC final.

I believe at least a couple or so besides me on here witnessed that disappointment.

A not so easy question. In what year was our margin of defeat beaten in the CC final?

Leeds-London in ‘99 - although if we take into account the move from 3-point to 4-point tries, you have to skip forward another 16 years to a record that might well endure even longer. I hope it does tbh - the biggest home defeat and lead surrendered in SL, i’d happily hand over, but I wouldn’t wish that on anybody. The balm for that one would be getting back and winning it or at very least losing ‘normally’ with a creditable performance.

As we’re indulging in masochism, what would be your stand-out shocking result, irrespective of margin of defeat?

Aye i was there .Watching em drag Tommy Harris of the pitch Wakey really marked him out as the danger man
Ps freddie check your messages thanks
