The remarkable stat which means we should be confident of winning on Saturday

Posted by The French Fullback #1 on March 8, 2016 at 8:37pm
The last few years we have beaten the 2 defending premiers at Pirtek in huge upsets. It got me thinking about the record of defending premiers coming to Parramatta, and our record of winning is stunning. 9/13 wins since 2001 and 2 years where we didn't host the premiers (2009, 2013). Here are the results:01 beat Broncos 26-1802 lost to Knights 28-1403 lost to Roosters 44-1204 lost to Penrith 30-2005 beat Bulldogs 56-406 beat Tigers 28-1607 beat Broncos 68-2208 beat Storm 24-2209 DNP10 beat Storm 24-1011 drew Dragons 14-all12 beat Manly 29-2013 DNP14 beat Roosters 14-1215 beat Souths 29-16

    Interesting stat. But I don't think you can look into that too much. Some of those games would have been mid year, minus origin players, injured players, end of season game etc.

      Very true, even as a coincidence though, it's an uncanny record. And I'd bet we would have started outsiders in most of them considering we would have been outsiders every year since 09

    Im with you mate, and very confident we will get the win if Foz plays.

      Foz adds that bit of extra confidence to the players around him

    Muppet what is a real supporter and why is mammo not a real supporter?

    Im confused.

      A real supporter is someone who doesn't think Luke Kelly should be fired from a cannon into the sun.

    Add it to list: 2016 - DEFEATED THE COWBOYS 20-16! 10/14 SINCE 2001!
