Rugby League Trivia

Australia flogged Russia 110 zip, can't remember when.

France smashed a minnow by a similar margin, don't know when either.

I'll say that we did it first.
 
Don't dare mention my turn, my only trivia question I don't even know the answer myself.

What game was it when Hazem El Masri successfully kicked goals from four extreme corners of the field during gale force winds?

After which the Great White Shark commented: this guy should be playing golf, he can judge the wind so well he would be worth a fortune.
 
have a 50/50 chance on this:

Round 26 in 2006 against the Panthers at Penrith.
bulldogs 30 - panthers 22.
rain and wind in this one.

or Round 19, 2004 v Cronulla at Toyota Park.
Canterbury won 37-26.
wind in this one.
 
thanks WestTAHger for the references, I think it was the 2006 game because I thought he got 5/5 and there was rain. But could not help dragging over this story.

Hazem El Masri, Canterbury v Cronulla at Toyota Park, Round 19, 2004
Canterbury may have won 37-26 but the outcome was nothing compared to the gale force winds that saw the giant screen packed up and the corner posts removed before Hazem El Masri’s 20-point freak show.
The most bizarre goal followed preparations comparable to those accompanying a snooker trick shot. With Corey Hughes’ steadying influence, the ball was teed-up oblique to the target before it swung violently off El Masri’s boot into the path of the howling breeze and a route over the black dot
