Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2753189, member: 1899"] If we're sticking to the modern era and not including years like Eastern Suburbs 1966 (0-18) or University 1935 (0-16) then I still think Western Suburbs 1999 is the worst. They conceded more points than any other side in the history of the competition at 944. Newcastle have conceded 491 after 14 games, an average of 35 points a game. If they continue to concede points at that rate, they will still be ahead of Wests but 841 points will be the second worst defensive season since Penrith in 2001. Even so, Penrith still managed to win 7 games and score 521 points. At the rate Newcastle are going, they will be F: 272 A: 841 giving them a -569 differential. That will give them the second worst differential behind Wests 1999 (-659). It's worth noting that Wests were 3-21, so if Newcastle fail to win a game from here on their 1-1-22 record may put them ahead. For kicks, the Western Suburbs 1999 side picked via most used players by position. 1. Brett Hodgson 2. Barry Davis 3. Kevin McGuiness 4. Justin Brooker 5. Jared Mills 6. Leo Dynevor 7. Dane Dorahy 8. Harvey Howard 9. Ciriaco Mescia 10. John Skandalis 11. Matthew Fuller 12. Michael Brabek 13. Steve Georgallis 14. Scott Coxon 15. Dayle Bonner 16. Matthew Spence 17. Tate Moseley Notable Omissions: Andrew Leeds, Shane Perry, Darren Fritz and Ken McGuiness. You know a team is bad when the coach is able to pick his son (Lincoln Raudonikis) and get away with it.
