my idea of the bonus point coming off the winners three points leaving them with two would keep both teams playing until the final second.

Same points for a narrow win as for a draw, then. Controversial.

I've said that from the off. If a team can't be bothered to play to the end of the 80, they deserve to lose one of there winning points.

Not that many games are like that, like I said if it was so good how come its not been adopted by SL and Championship 1?

It's still used in CC1.

I have mixed feelings on the issue, maybe if we had achieved a bonus point during all our lost games we would have a different opinion on the system as we would be top, but as we have not we deem it as rewarding failure. The bottom line is that we will take anything if it puts us top of the league so cant see Fev complaining too much!

Well I for one dislike it!

I could just about understand it if it was a reward for entertaing play, for example you get a point for scoring 5 trys in a game.

Griff would have you believe it makes no difference, but if you look at the current table, I'd be a bit miffed if I was a Sheffield fan and we lost out on top Spot to Fev because Fev got 4 bonus points and Sheffield 1 BP. And the bottom of the table even worse how about being a Swinton fan and finding yourself relegated having won more games than Barrow? And at what cost over the next few years!

A system that means that can mean get more points for 4 losses (4 BP) than a win and 3 losses (0 BP) just does not feel right.

Surely it's down to us for loseing by more than 12 points, instead of playing to the end of full time, rather than us gifting the opposition the bonus point?

That backs up my point, if you lose then you lose and get Nil Points as they say in Eurovision land.
I have no grumbles with that we lost to Fev twice and Sheffield and got nowt as we failed, end of story.
As for your statement playing for the full 80 minutes yer but we had already lost all those 3 games at around the 50th minute point so that is irrelevant it aint like we were losing in a close game we just didn't play well in most of the game full stop!
Like I said if its so good SL and RU would have adopted it, you may note RU rewards scoring more tries and cricket rewards scoring more runs and getting more wickets, not for holding out for a close defeat!

Not really - we got 17 extra points for winning 17 games, compared with the 2-1-0 system. We're never going to get 4 bonus points from losing two games, are we ?

Who's contributed more to the entertainment value of their games this year ? Swinton - or Barrow and Hunslet ?

Who gives a poop about entertainment value when it comes to the league table. It should reflect the result and nothing else. 3 win 2 Draw 0 Lose.

Dont get me wrong entertaining teams should be comended and reports and game write ups should reflect that, as should the championship player of the week etc, but thats where it stops.

We're in the entertainment business. If the game's doesn't entertain, we're dead in the water.

3-2-0 - that's a new proposal.
