I also don`t like the golden point rule.
There`s something about getting a draw away from home to a top 3 or 4 team.
Point each and move on.

Well that's a joke.Are you telling me the whole competition is balanced,what with loop fixtures etc.

Totally different. Putting Covid years to one side, all teams play the same number of games, loop games don't have an effect. But if you're fighting against relegation and the two teams around you share three rather than two points out of their game it could crucify other clubs.

I dont agree, of course loop fixtures have an effect. If one team is playing Saints 3x and other makes playoffs by beating Leigh 3x how can that be right? It impacts top, playoff chasing and relegation.

Hull effectively drew the game after 80 mins Sat why should they not get a point as reward for that and Leeds get 2 for winning the game in golden point.

Totally agree.The number of games drawn in a season is so small,so that sort of impact should be negligible.No system is without it s flaws just some systems are flawed less.

If we were in tenth, one point ahead of both teams below on the last round of the season when 11th played 12th and we got relegated because they conjured up a draw, it would probably be the biggest scandal in SL history. This is why it would never get enacted.

That's another issue.Who can legislate for the "brown paper envelope" scenario.That can happen with whatever system is in place.I suspect you may have more chance with your lottery numbers coming up, than the relagation situation comming to fruition.

But in a regular situation you wouldn't have both teams benefitting. It's a crazy way to misbalance the league table and will not be introduced.

I agree. Play everyone home and away and you have got the only fair way of determining league positions. How typical of the RL that the new season is just over 4 months away and we are not yet sure of the make up of the league.
