[QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2095144, member: 1764"] But assuming we have extra time (and we do, so we have to consider it), a team who gets beaten 71-6 (hi Newcastle!) gets 0 points. A team who is level with their opponent after 80 minutes and then loses to a field goal in the 88th minute also gets 0 points. To me that's unfair. If you're going to have golden point/extra time/whatever you want to call it, you have to acknowledge that being level after 80 minutes is still an achievement deserving of points. However, this I agree with. It should be a draw. But as Frank said, the NRL have decided draws are unacceptable, they're kissing your sister, they're an anti climax, and so want to manufacture results as often as possible. Fine, if they want to behave that way, the points system has to be fair. PS: 2 points for a bye, or 0 points for a bye, makes no difference at the end of the competition, so it's not an issue (Afterall, that's what the subject is about!). [/QUOTE]
