132 - 0 full time





Takes some doing that against any side.

The highest NRL score was the Brisbane Broncos and West Tigers
Broncos won 208 - 0 in 1996
Next was Broncos and Knights
Broncos won 154 - 4
Both games were in the same year.













I love what wiki answers can spring up sometimes

Bet you'd be annoyed of you were a Blackpool player and didn't get on the score sheet today.

3 players of the 17 didnt score, no-one got a hat-trick either!! All goals converted aswel

What a load of garbage. Wests Tigers didn't even exist in 1996. The biggest NRL score is 74-4, Eels over Sharks.

As Damo already posted it falls short of Huddersfield's 142-4 win as an RL record. It is a record for a league match though, the previous record was Keighley's 104-4 win over Highfield in 1995.

Second time this year that Gateshead have conceded 100. They lost 100-4 to Batley in the NRC so now have the unhappy record of being on the wrong end of record defeats in both league competiition and the Northern Rail Cup.

Those who frequent the betting thread on the Other Sports forum will have known this was coming 2 or 3 days thanks to Catalancs.

Castleford beat Rochdale 106-0 in 2007

I believe Gateshead fielded almost a full academy side. So I don't know if the RFL are going to have words with Gateshead over it.

Hi Just to Correct the previous poster..

One player did get a Hat trick . 11 Kurt haggerty

And Tom Hemingway Kicked 22 goals Which equals Jim Sullys record Unless Im mistaken

Was that in the league or NRC though? According to Castleford Tigers official site your record win was 74-12 in 2002.

I remember Saints beating Carlisle 112-0 in 1986 but that was in the Lancs cup.

League. Website only shows biggest win in Super League.

Fantastic performance!!!

Is it a record for a game played between teams in the same division?

I was at the 4-104 game at Rochdale when Keighley beat Highfield.

We had to win the game to win the league!!!!!

I never thought I'd see that score so emphatically beaten.

Must have been an awful long trip home if you were a Gateshead fan.

In all fairness They were in good spirits and Clapped them off..

The only first teamers in there were the Hooker and a prop. Everyone else had squad numbers over 14..

Blackpool Unlucky not to score more in my opinion

Yes, it is

Tom Hemmingway is way way too good for the 3rd tier of British Rugby. Is he at Blackpool on loan? I know he was at Huddersfield when Leigh loaned him last year.

Hemingway is, I believe, a Blackpool asset.

To answer a few other po9ints raised:

Gateshead did have a few more than 2 first teamers in, just because their squad number is over 13 doesn't mean they ain't first teamers - for example in the Panthers squad most weeks are Neil Holland (34), Danny Halliwell (27), Paul Anderson (15), Paul Ballard (24) Martin Ainscough (1icon_cool.gif.

The pre match preview was that they had 4 suspended and 3 injured. A significant number certainly, but we were missing 8 of our first 17 at Leeds last week, it happens.

Martin Crompton simply had us treat them no differently than any other side we'd face this season. Apart from a slack 5-10 minutes after the first two tries, there was pretty much no let up. On the odd occasion that Thunder did have possession they were often forced into making mistakes which were then punished.

Have to say I felt for Gateshead, I really did, as their players never chucked the towel in, they were simply just completely outpaced and outclassed.

It's not nice being in a position like that but RL can be a brutal sport, ask any Blackpool fan who watched Greg Austin score 9 tries in Huddersfield's 142-4 win over the Gladiators in 1994. We did have the chances in the last 10 minutes to have erased that from the record books, but it wasn't to be.

One other minor point for the stattos, Kurt Haggerty did record a hat trick, I think one of his tries was wrongly credited to Paul Ballard, but that needs confirming. EDIT - confirmed - Haggerty's third try was wrongly credited to Ballard. Easy mistake to make as Ballard got over the line but then passed to Haggerty to complete his hat trick (at 17 mins).

The players who didn't score were Carl Forber, Andy Hobson and Kris Ratcliffe.

Tom Hemingway's 48 points (1 try, 22 conversions (out of 22)), must I suspect, be close to a record for a league game. Although many of his 2nd half kicks were relatively straightforward, he did pot 5 or 6 from wide out in the first half.

hemingway came through the giants youth system and was a super league squad member for 4 seasons before being released last year,a decent player i thought never really got a chance for us though, good on the lad though.
i was at that 142-4 game seagull and i'll tell you now the biggest cheers of the day in order were:

blackpool scoring
fartown notching 100
fartown notching 50

Hemingway has been a very good signing for us, he fits in well with what we try to do and his kicking game is very impressive.

His goalkicking yesterday was remarkable, especially in the first half as many were wide out on his wrong (right hand) side. Not only was he potting them but most went pretty much over the black dot, he was completely "in the zone", his rhythm was quite sublime to watch.

The funny thing is he's not always been first choice kicker this season as we have 4 to choose from (Jonny Leather, Carl Forber and Josh Charnley being the others), but he looked world class in the first half yesterday.

he could do the business with another club in SL imo if he works hard enough, good luck to him i say
used to watch him in the giants reserves and he hardly ever missed a shot at goal.
