Agree it doesn't seem right does it.

Rules are rules , as long as we all play to the same from the start , who cares

Exactly. And even though York won more games, Hunslet were obviously on average a more competitive side (which is surely the aim of the bonus points) or they would be below them in the table!

What about this comparison then?

Hunslet W4 D1 L15 Pts Diff -235, Dewsbury W4 D1 L15 Pts Diff -205.

Which team has been most competitive over the season?

Depends on how close those defeats have been, I'd say.

Surely the team that wins more games are more competitive though Matt.

Its not right that a team could go all season not winning a game but still not finish bottom due to bonus points and if it was THAT good a thing wouldn't it be used in SL

some teams target certain games and are quite prepared to not give a poop [i wrote that] about other games,in fact didnt the york coach say he'd targeted the fax game and another game but basically wrote of the game against leigh?

absolutely.

Were does the bonus point help there though John?

York wer targeting games to get points from ,were as Hunslet aimed to get point from as many games as possible.this might be why they got more BP through out the season.

Fair do's, still don't like it though John.

I'm not convinced either way, but I would say that the days of a poor opposing team juist going through the motions in the second hald are well and truly behind us.

Comparing us to SL on this one is a none starter - our players aren't professional to the same extent as SL players and so have less to lose by giving up half way through a game.

Yeh you are right there Nik all NONRELEGATION LEAGUE games are close aren't they ?
