A massive change next year is needed! : Sat Feb 21, 2009 4:49 pm  

Personally I can’t see the likes of Wakefield, Castleford and Celtic Crusaders beating the likes of Leeds and St Helens for a long time. So my idea is why not have a bonus point if you win two different halves in two different games?

Here’s an example

Leeds v Wakefield Trinity Wildcats @ Headingley Carnegie
Halftime Score: Leeds 0 Wakefield Trinity Wildcats 12

Fulltime Score: Leeds 32 Wakefield 16

Leeds v Wakefield Trinity Wildcats @ Belle View
Halftime Score: Leeds 42 Wakefield Trinity Wildcats 0

Fulltime Score: Leeds 48 Wakefield 16

Leeds would secure 4 points from these games and Wakefield would secure a bonus two points for winning Leeds in the fist half at Headingley 12 - 0 and the second half at Belle View 16 - 6.

I feel that this would give teams a chance who can’t always play for the full eighty minutes on a match day and will make a match that seems gone thanks to a blitz reasonable again because you can get two points thanks to your win in the first half in your last game. It will also make the league table look more interesting!

What do you think?

I think it would be a good idea for a bonus point to be awarded. There should be a bonus point if you lose by less than 10.

Yeah, I mean it's not like Castleford beat Leeds and St. Helens last year. Or Wakefield beat St. Helens the year before. These things just don't happen.

So basically you have been watching SL for about two years then, or since Leeds became half decent. Give it a rest silly person, Wakey and Cas will always scalp Leeds and Saints, don't be so pathetic.

Enjoy your superiority complex whilst it last,

Which, since the opening poster doesn't even seem to be aware of such facts, rather renders the thread itself a waste of space.
