Damien Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Very impressive in 12 minutes. There probably have been big turnarounds before but the time frame there will be hard to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Fax were beating Bradford 26-0 at halftime back in the Thrum Hall days. After the break Danny Peacock was unplayable and led the Bulls to a 26-30 victory My boss at the time was a Bulls fan, I had to take all sorts of s**t for a fortnight 1 "Freedom without socialism is privilege and injustice, socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality" - Mikhail Bakunin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm - I didn't think we were that far in front. I'll check up. Meanwhile, we lost 36-32 at London a couple of seasons ago after leading 32-0 at halftime. But the real drama is in wiping the lead out inside the last 12 minutes, not so much the size of the lead. "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!"

After the break Danny Peacock was unplayable and led the Bulls to a 26-30 victory My boss at the time was a Bulls fan, I had to take all sorts of s**t for a fortnight Changing point was Peter Fox coming in to the field of play to complain about the ref if I remember correctly. Also remember Asa Amone scoring and showing the ball for about 20 yards to the chasing Bulls player. That really was not a good day for us. For a long time it was regarded as the biggest comeback in recent history and not sure if anyone has beaten it since. Edit: Reading above it seems they have.

Tommygilf Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 (edited) July 2022 - Catalans 32 v 36 Leeds was a mad game. Leeds scored 5 tries in the last 23 minutes having looked like being completely out of it by that point. https://www.skysports.com/rugby-league/catalans-vs-leeds/56359 Edit: plus I was there so it stands out to me Edited May 27 by Tommygilf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommygilf Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Not as big a turnaround as some, but from getting battered to coming back late and then this to finish it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 38-22 at half time. Johnny Woodcock scored a converted try in the first minute of the second half to make it 44-22 and that was the widest margin at any point in the game. Scoring went..... 6-0, 12-0, 12-6, 16-6, 16-10, 20-10, 20-16, 26-16, 26-22, 32-22, 38-22, 44-22, 44-28, 44-34, 44-40, 44-46. So by no means as dramatic as York but still a decent effort.

Anita Bath Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Down under Dolphins came from 26-0 down after 34 minutes to beat the Titans 28-26 .last season. The biggest comeback in 115 years of Australian rugby league. Two seasons previous to that Titans had given up a 22-0 lead at the Broncos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sports Prophet Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 (edited) St. George-Illawarra Dragons vs. Manly Sea Eagles, Round 25 2004 A 24-point turnaround that no one saw coming. The Sea Eagles raced out to a strong lead and were winning 34-10 with 23 minutes remaining in the match. Nathan Blacklock started the comeback after gathering a kick from Mark Riddell in the 56th minute. Nathan Brown's men clearly took all the momentum and scored four more tries. It was Justin Poore who crossed the line for the final try before cult-hero Mark Riddell slotted the conversion to give the Dragons the lead with three minutes remaining. Dragons win, 36-34.

Sports Prophet Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Sydney Roosters vs South Sydney Rabbitohs, Round 1 2012 This was one of the most famous comebacks in rugby league history...until it was topped by the same two teams later in the year. The Rabbitohs had an eight-point lead, 20-12, with just over two minutes remaining, a pretty safe bet usually? Jared Waerea-Hargreaves barged his way over for a try before Anthony Minichiello scored the most miraculous of tries to win the game for the Roosters. Boyd Cordner certainly gets to keep his kicking license after this one! Roosters win 24-20. Then… South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Sydney Roosters, Round 19 2012 It couldn't happen again right? But it did. Just this time, reversed. The Roosters led by 10 points, 22-12 with LESS than two minutes remaining. The points were sealed, right? Wrong. Dave Taylor fired up, helped his side find some space and eventually Nathan Merritt crossed over to bring the gap to four points. Then Dave Taylor linked up with Chris McQueen to find some space off the kick-off that eventually led to the most incredible Adam Reynolds try. It was capped off by perfect commentary from Warren Smith, 'take me now I have seen it all'. Rabbitohs win 24-22. Incredible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
