Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2232622, member: 1764"] Given we're a round away from the finals and it's been an incredibly close competition, it's worth revisiting the idea of a different points allocation for games in the NRL. My preferred scenario is: Win in regular time: 4 points Win in extra time: 3 points Draw: 2 points Loss in extra time: 1 point Loss in regular time: 0 points The actual ladder stands like this: 1 Bulldogs 38 2 St George Illawarra 36 3 Gold Coast 36 4 Melbourne 31 5 Manly 30 6 Brisbane 30 7 Parramatta 29 8 Newcastle 28 9 Penrith 27 10 Wests Tigers 26 11 South Sydney 25 12 North Queensland 24 13 Canberra 22 14 Warriors 20 15 Cronulla 14 16 Sydney Roosters 14 Golden point games this season were: Melbourne def St George-Illawarra Warriors def Sydney Roosters Melbourne drew with Warriors Parramatta drew with Souths Penrith drew with Warriors So under my points scheme it would be: 1 Bulldogs 76 2 St George Illawarra 73 3 Gold Coast 72 4 Melbourne 61 5 Manly 60 6 Brisbane 60 7 Parramatta 58 8 Newcastle 56 9 Penrith 54 10 Wests Tigers 52 11 South Sydney 50 12 North Queensland 48 13 Canberra 44 14 Warriors 39 15 Sydney Roosters 29 16 Cronulla 28 Hmmmm, well OK, having done it the only ones I can see who'd really have liked it this year would be the Roosters, because it'd get rid of their wooden spoon! [icon_lol1. Still, I reckon it's a fairer system. And it would add some intrigue to the Newcastle vs Penrith game. If Penrith were to win in golden point they'd end up level on points and it'd come down to for and against, which would still mean Newcastle finish ahead. As it is now, Penrith just have to win, extra time or otherwise, and they finish ahead of Newcastle. Also, say the Titans and Manly are level at full time, but Manly win in extra time. The Broncos could then beat Canberra in regular time and finish ahead of Manly. If that were to happen now with the current system, Manly and Brisbane would both have 32 points and because of for and against, Manly finish ahead. Yeah yeah ok so I wasted 10 minutes of my life. Carry on. [/QUOTE]
