It’s not like we are back to the days of these scorelines

Leeds 86-6 Huddersfield
Bradford 96-16 Salford

Only 3 over 50 though. In the not too distant past we saw that in one round

I think there's a massive element of sides putting the cue on the rack. Doing enough to win and not playing with an intensity for 80 minutes because, why do they need to? Winning 30-10 is the same as winning 60-10. Coaches may reat pivots once the job is done.

In the old days there was a lot less disruption so teams could rack up big scores. What we have now is a lot of stop starts with time wasting, scrums, penalties to touch, feigning injuries goal line drop outs must take at least 10 mins out of the game.

Spot on

So not even games that could go to blow outs like 80-6, you lose out o games that can go to 42-40

Some would argue that when the winner scores 46 and the loser makes up most of its points in the last few minutes.

They still put the points on the board, regardless of when they were scored?

There have been some mammoth score lines racked up in League 1, mainly against West Wales Raiders and Hemel.
