At least we shouldn't have Halifax or Widnes fans on here telling us what a poor season we are having (we've only lost one more game than Widnes!).

Spot on Dave, and hopefully stay up this year and tear them apart next year!

Based on 2pts for a win
From our point of view even worse than it really is because we'd be in the bottom two

Scores without bonus points in bold.

I think the bonus point system would be better if it was 4 for a win by more than 12 and 3 for a win by 12 or less with the other point going to the losing team. Would be much more interesting.

Rugby Union National Leagues have a system where if you score 4 tries you get an attacking bonus point.

I think the French variation on this is if you score 4 tries more than the opposition you get a bonus point.

Do you think defensive bonus points should come into play as well say if you keep a team to ten points or less? Just a thought.

4 point wins would be interesting but I'd be sat by an abacus all night if I was trying to work this out and I only just got through my maths exam!

Gets very complicated by then. I think the current system is just about a happy medium on top of the usual system.

Swap them over Mish and you 'd be right

Swap them over to what? I've left the teams in the position they are now - so you can compare them to where they would be if we didn't have bonus points. Sorry I thought it would be the easiest way to compare!

Its a joke we have lost one more game than widnes this year and we are fighting to stay up and they are fighting to go into super league under that idiotic rule.

...but still with the chance of 6th place
