Bonus points would work well because they could either encourage close games, or reward winning teams for winning in style.



The French RU Top 14 system seems to work very well.
4 points for a win
2 for a draw
0 for a loss. However:
1 BP for winning by a margin of 3 tries or more than the opposition.
1 BP for losing by 7 points or less. Given that is the margin of a converted try in RU, the equivalent would be 6 in League.

There is little chance of both teams scoring a bonus point with this system.

I wouldn't bother with it myself. It seems wrong to reward losing sides. If a team turns in a 50-point hammering, surely that would be more worthy of a BP.

Not sure about that, I have seen on several occasions a team losing taking 2 to get a bonus point which just doesn't seem right, I'd prefer they scrapped it just so that teams go for the try instead of a kick from a penalty!

Let's have a BYE week too?

That would be a high scoring game if Wakey still got a bonus point after letting in 60.
