Quote Darber="Darber"The bonus point has its plus and minus points however as already mentioned, matches dont have the same value. Surely all matches should have 4 points on offer, that way a side who is winning by a decent margin doesnt take the foot off the gas as they would want to gain the bonus point.
One thing that can be said it has made for a exciting climax to the season with all the teams bunched together. Without the bonus point the table would look different.
Halifax 33
Barrow 30
Widnes 30
Featherstone 30
Whitehaven 30
Toulouse 24
Batley 22
Sheffield 21
Leigh 21
Gatehead 19
Doncaster 3
I do agree that all levels of our sport should be playing under the same rules, either everybody adapt to the bonus point system or kick it into touch. The rugby league will be kicking themselves, without the bonus point toulouse would be in the top six, it still looks like a competitive league.
The day will come when someone finishes top having lost more games than those in second, but wins on bonus points'"
So now we have a new system proposed, where you get 3 for a win, two for a draw, nothing for a defeat.
You Fax lads are really desperate to be top, aren't you ?
