Eight NRL teams concede 50 points during the 2026 season

The Sydney Roosters became the eighth NRL team to concede at least 50 points in a single match during the 2026 season after a 50-20 defeat to the South Sydney Rabbitohs on September 4. This loss at Allianz Stadium marks a recurring trend where teams suffer heavy defensive lapses throughout the year. Previous sides to concede 50 or more points include the Wests Tigers, who have reached this total three times, as well as the Parramatta Eels and the Dolphins, who have both recorded two such losses. Other teams featuring on the list include the Melbourne Storm, St George Illawarra Dragons, Gold Coast Titans, and North Queensland Cowboys. Historical data indicates that no team has secured an NRL premiership in the same season they have surrendered 50 points in a game. This performance metric continues to serve as an indicator for team defensive stability as the season approaches its conclusion.
