The record achieved is the "2010 biggest comebacks", as many of you have probably notice this year, a new trend has been set this year, that trend is to allow opposing teams to score massive totals, be losing by "x" points to nil at half time or shortly into the second half, then proceed to chase down these totals and on occasion even win the match(as shown below)
After round 4 the records are:
1. 20 points (0-20,51st minute) Parramatta Eels bt (un)Manly Sea Chooks 24-20
2. 18 points (4-22,40th minute) Wests Tiggers bt Canberra BGraders 35-22
3. 18 points (6-24,40th minute) Penrith Pussycats bt Spewcastle 34-30
4. 16 points (4-20,58th minute) Wests Tiggers bt (un)manly SEa Chooks 26-22
5. 14 points (0-14,25th minute) Melbore Drizzle bt Spewcastle 20-14
6. 12 points (8-20,59th minute) Nth Qld Brokeback Cowboys bt Penrith Pussycats 28-20
7. 12 points (6-18,39th minute) GCoast Tartens bt NZ Worriers 24-18
8. 12 points (0-12,23rd minute) Bondi Budgies bt Wests Tiggers 44-32
So to all the knockers so far this year, there is hope its only round 4,we have won something already this year, and remember we have been through worse as a club we will come through this too.
You cant keep a good Eel down. Cause the wriggle in your throat to much.(they only stop fighting when they are dead)

I dont think you are knocking them either, everyone has to let off steam.
I was just getting sick of the negative shit that keeps going on here, came across this story in the Telecrap, and decided to post it.(just to let people know that there is some positives out there)
Im actually betting it wont belong before its bombarded with comments on who should be dropped, we need to buy Thurston,Morts is overated, the Keatings are shit ,and the more of the same,
I think what people tend to forget is that rugby league players these days are professional players they know no better(unlike the old days where they had jobs and drank and smoked), they tend to hang around too long looking for that elusive "last mega pay day" or that "premiership ring". Fortunately Cayless has seen the writing on the wall , made a sensible decision, and is going to retire on his own terms. I would love for nothing else if in 2010, Nathan Cayless could walk away from the Eels and the game with a premiership ring, i mean thats the stuff dreams are made of , but the reality is dreams dont always come true(still theres no harm in it, without dreams we dont aspire).
And yes i believe we are going to flog the "B Graiders" on Monday, and ill still be dreaming for my 30 point half time lead.
