Don't anyone try & tell me the bonus point is a load of rubbish, Sheffield are earning theirs this season and good luck to them they're a workmanlike team/club. It's certainly one of the things that make this a great division to be part of.

The bonus point is a load of rubbish. There I said it, if it was any good Superleague would be using it now.

the table without a bonus point would read.

HALIFAX 16 Points +197
Barrow 16 Points +162
Featherstone 14 Points
Widnes 12 Points
Toulouse 10 Points - 2
Whitehaven 10 Points - 20
Leigh 10 Points - 53
Sheffield 6 Points
Gateshead 4 Points -123
Batlehy 4 Points -182
Doncaster 2 Points


Therefore the bonus point is crap

2 points.

1. Halifax would still be top of the league with a game in hand
2. Superleague Europe, National Rugby League in Australia, the International Rugby League and BARLA choose not to use it, sort of languishing the Championships, only, having to put up with it.

It should either be abolished or adopted...

My suggestion is GET RID OF IT.

But that is my opinion, you are entitled to yours....

Regardless of who is top of the league, my point referred to Sheffield earning theirs by not giving in when games could have passed them by. I know they were in the lead tonight, but if teams are rewarded by digging in there, then I'm all for it. Too many games become one-sided when a side loses faith.

With no promotion or relegation in SL I don't think a bonus point would matter as much. Bradford probably wouldn't be as far down (can anybody be bothered to work out what the SL table would look like?), but for me the BP is too heavily in favour of the losing side, but yes Sheffield have earnt them.
