Who said that I thought it was a good idea? I said you can decide if the differenece in the systems makes an significant differance. Maybe I'd like a 4-2-1-0 system, but am not telling you how you get the bonus point











I never said there was anything wrong with it did I?









There are other differences to the ones you highlight above, for example team A wins a game by 24-10 and then losses a game 10-24, they end up with a 3 league points and a zero points difference, whereas team B draws a game 10-10 and draws a second game 24-24, they end up with 4 league points and a zero points difference. is this fair? And should there be a bonus for winning a game by lots of points? And does it really matter anyway?





You said there was no difference in league placings using the old system and the current system, all I did was point out that there is a difference, one that could have meant that Dewsbury could have been relegated rather than Hunslet last year (as it happens neither got relegated because Barrow had a points deduction). Though above you do reconise that there is a difference now and that our math skills ain't so bad after all.









Personally I do not care what the points system is, 3-2-1-0, 2-1-0, 4-2-1-0, 4-3-2-1-0, 100-99-98 or whatever just as long as every club knows what it is before we start the season, that is fair in its application to every team and that it does not change during the season. If these are in place then before the season starts every club know what they need to do during the year to finish as high as they possibly can during the season. Why do you care so much?

To be honest, I don't care about the points system. I'm happy to run with what the rules are.



What does irritate me is people coming on here and talking tripe.

Please mention that at the start next time, it will save everyone a lot of time.

Like it

So you're going to stop talking tripe ?

What tripe did I talk Griff, please enlighten me?

Here - misses the point. Yes 3210 is different to 210 but who benefits ?

You miss the point Griff

, you said that the point system makes no difference to the final league placings, however as I have proved it does. You ask who benefits well as pointed out above, the team that benefitted last year was Hunslet to the point where they would have avoided relegation (notwithstanding the points deduction for Barrow). Why can't you get that?





Where is the tripe in this information? However there may well be tripe in you saying the change in the point system does not benifit anyone, when clearly it does, but guess it's hard for you to admit this?

Where did I say that ?

Is this not unequivocal enough, Grinder ?

Sorry Griff been away a couple of days, you said is here:





Though to be fair you didn't include the 3-2-1-0 current system in your quote above though I do believe that is what the discussion has been about.

Yes, I was trying to take it in two stages to illustrate the nuances better.





Step 1 - 2-1-0 to 3-2-1 (or 2000000-1999995-1999990 or whatever) - exactly the same



Step 2 - 3-2-1 to 3-2-1-0 - only 12+ losers miss out.
