It is absolutely absurd that Fev have won 3 more games than Sheffield yet are one place below them and Leigh have won the same number of games and are 4 places below them. I'm not blaming Sheffield, just this ridiculous system. icon_rolleyes.gif

I dislike it intensely, if anything because i like things simple. I don't want to be fannying around looking at league tables which look like that. I hear what people say about keeping matches alive and i can understand all that but I am not one for rewarding losers. It just isn't right.

I have mixed feelings on the bonus point system.

It is odd seeing a table set out like that, but no more than the SPL at the end of their seasons when teams in the bottom half end up on more points than those above them.

Both odd systems but both serve a purpose.

There have been a few games this season already I might have lost hope in were it not for the bonus point being in place.

Bonus point is ok but I feel applied far too leniantly
12 point defeat is not an achievement (except for donny and leigh maybe)

Agree, failure should never be rewarded imo.

Bonus point is a joke as Sheffield are proving. If you lose you deserve nothing! If the Bonus Point is so good how come the Sooper Dooper League does not have it? ALL Leagues should be playing under one system but the lunatics will not have that and prefer making a mockery of the game.

I think the idea there could be that Super League is an entirely full time league and so the players have no reason to drop off, and there is no reason to believe that a lack of competetive rugby could occur in any game. Super League is supposed to be the top division and should be close anyway.

Of course, as teams like Celtic show, that's not exactly how it is. But I would assume that is the reason they don't use it.

It does not seem to be fair on the other teams, but if you look at the table, Sheffield are now the third highest points scorers and they have the third least points scored against.

I think they deserve some credit for what they have achieved.

If they keep the bonus point for losing by so few, maybe they should consider awarding a bonus point for winning by a set margin.

The league should be ranked by points, solely based on wins and draws. If two teams are on the same number of points in the table, then that's when the bonus points should kick in - I'd prefer this to points for/against overall.

There's no such thing as failure, it's deferred success.

I really believe the bonus point scheme is a fair and well-structured system. It encourages teams in a losing position to keep fighting and playing with enthusiasm to grab an extra point- hense creating much more exciting and 2-sided affairs. I also believe teams who lose by a small margain deserve some form of reward for their competitiveness and effort. Ok, losing teams do not deserve as much as winning teams, which justifys why the bonus point is only one single point. But i believe the bonus point is improving the quality of the rugby and the competitiveness of the matches, i do believe losing teams sometimes deserve rewarding.
