[QUOTE="usausa, post: 543732, member: 42578"] I can see both sides to the argument. Our club's second side beat a team 166-0 in a league game, and both sides weren't gaining much out of it. We ran in 26 tries in total, 91 points in the second half. It is tough because you have a B side and subs who want to prove themselves worthy of first side consideration but the opposition offered little resistance to the point where we didn't/couldn't even run our patterns. When you consider as well the lack of games there really is, players need to make the most out of each game. But as the referee noted in his post game report, there was no gloating during or after the match. This is an example at USA club level of a professionally/competitively run side versus a social/amateur side. For the losing side, they lost their matches by the following scores: 0-69 (0-11 tries), 7-72 (1-12 tries), 24-66 (4-12 tries), 0-166 (0-26), 0-96 (0-14 tries), 7-85 (1-15 tries), 0-127 (0-19 tries). Season was 0-7, 38-681 (6-109 tries). Unfortunately, this is the lowest division in the league, so nowhere for this team really to go. [/QUOTE]
