Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2324690, member: 1764"] OK, so I'm bored....so I did a spreadsheet with the ladder as it is now, and the ladder positions and how they would change based on different scenarios. [b]Scenario 1: Golden Point as it is now[/b] The order is as it is now: Dragons (30) Panthers (28) Roosters (28) Tigers (28) Titans (26) Manly (24) Broncos (24) Warriors (24) Souths (22) Parramatta (22) Newcastle (20) Canberra (20) Bulldogs (18) Cowboys (14) Sharks (14) Storm (0) Nothing to say, that's just how it is. [b]Scenario 2: The good old days before Golden Point, where a game was always 80 minutes and a draw was a draw.[/b] Dragons (31) Panthers (28) Roosters (28) Tigers (28) Manly (24) Broncos (24) Titans (24) Warriors (24) Souths (23) Parramatta (22) Newcastle (21) Canberra (20) Bulldogs (18) Cowboys (14) Sharks (13) Storm (0) Interesting to note: - Dragons would be 3 points clear at the top of the ladder (gaining a point for a draw against the Titans last week) - Titans drop from 5th to 7th because they would have 2 draws, thus costing them 2 points, and with their poor for and against would drop behind the Broncos and Manly - Souths within 1 point of the top 8 by gaining the point for their draw with the Titans [b]Scenario 3: New points system reflecting wins/losses in GP[/b] System: 4 points for a regulation win, 3 points for a GP win, 2 points for a draw, 1 point for a GP loss and 0 points for a regulation loss. Why? It rewards teams that win in the normal 80 minutes, and effectively means the extra 10 minutes is an attempt to win a bonus point by scoring to win, and if you lose you still get the bonus point for having been level at normal full time. Dragons (61) Panthers (56) Roosters (56) Tigers (56) Titans (50) Manly (48) Broncos (48) Warriors (48) Souths (45) Eels (44) Newcastle (41) Canberra (40) Bulldogs (36) Cowboys (28) Sharks (27) Interesting to note: - Dragons would be more than a win clear of Penrith by virtue of having lost in GP against the Titans - Titans would be more than a win outside the top 4 (6 points), which is fair given they had 2 GP wins, whereas the teams in the top 4 have won all their games in regular time - Broncos, Manly and Warriors would all be half a win behind the Titans, making the Titan's grip on their top 5 spot very tenuous (kind of is anyway given their shit for and against of -17) What does this all mean? Well, ultimately that Coxy has too much time on his hands. [icon_razz1 But IMO both scenario 2 and 3 are a fairer reflection on the state of the competition than the current system where a win in 89 minutes and 59 seconds is the same as a win in 80 minutes, and a loss in 89 minutes and 59 seconds is treated as bad as a loss in 80 minutes. My preference would be to scrap golden point in normal season games, but I think even a revised points system like scenario 3 would be far far better than what we have now. [/QUOTE]
