Quote: CW8 "....... I actually think rugby unions bonus point structure is really good, it's certainly revolutionised that sport, there is always something to play for with losing bonus point and try scoring bonus points.'"
The RFL (in its infinite wisdom) toyed with this before but only at Championship (and maybe League 1) level - think it was 2015. Two points for a win, none for a tonking but one bonus point for the losing side if they restricted the margin to two scores or less. Computer re-runs of previous seasons showed that this would not have skewed the tables very much but would, it was thought, incentivise trailing teams.
It was abandoned after one season!
