You may have seen it but it's just your opinion that it's dull rugby - it's just your opinion that it's caused by the bonus point. That's subjective.
On the other hand - bonus point disadvantages only those teams who lose by more than 12 - mathematical fact. That's objective.
Bearing in mind Rovers have won most of their games by a street over the last few years, how many times has this happened ? It's got to be games where the teams finished about 12 points apart, surely. Five ? Ten ? We're still going to be making policy based on a minority of games.
You seem a fair minded bloke - I bet there have been games where you've just won and said to your mates "they played well today - they deserved something out of the game". Did you mean that ? Or did you just say that just to make people think you're a fair minded bloke.
Finally, two recent results to ponder over.
Halifax 18 York 16 - game hinged on a couple of goalkicks that even the touch judges disagreed on. Bonus point for York.
Workington 6 Fev 62 - Town not at the races. No points.
Seems fair enough to me. Nothing's 100% perfect.
