Surprisingly, man of the moment Thurston not only agreed with Bennett — he proposed his own system.

“I think it is a bit unlucky for the team that loses (in extra-time),” he said. “Someone who gets flogged by 40 gets no points and someone who draws after 80 minutes gets no points.

“After 80 minutes and it’s a draw both teams get one point and whoever wins in golden point gets an extra point,” he said.

“I think that would be fairer. That’s just my personal opinion.

“I am just glad we are on the right side of the scoreboard.”
Best thing about that idea is the 'odd' number of points on the League ladder will add more truth to the standings
