Maybe it's the fact that's it late at night but i believe that system has merit.

 

[Razor]

A system like that has merit. Roosters and Panthers would be much better opposition than the likes of Manly and Sharks.

The system I do like is the Super 14 style of system. 4 points for a win, 1 for losing by 7 or less (would be 6 in league), bonus point for 4 tries or more (probally would have to be 5 in league). I don't think this Gould system is good at all.

then why did they lose more games?

Gould has lost the plot.

mate it gets us from 14th to 12th... i like it! :lol:

 

[strewth_mate]

He's just jealous of Warren Ryan's system...

That gets teams with even poorer win/loss records into the finals than now. You could go through unfeated and miss the semis.

No it's mathematically impossible for that to happen.

I don't like the system but I doubt that will happen

even if you win all 24 games by less the 7 but in normal time thats still 168 pts.

Don't see why, it's possible now.

hehe, he'll never do it, he'll just promote it on tele until someone takes notice/complains...

Errrr, yeah, I wasn't serious.

 

[White Poiner]

nope i dont like that one.

 

[Timmah]

7 x 24 = A lot of points = mathematically impossible. Razor's spot on.

 

[Hurriflatch]

you could see tho

Team

Wins 5 games by 24+ (50 pts)
lose 10 games by less the 7 (30 pts)
lose 9 games in extra time (36 pts)

and end up with 116 pts which could see them make the finals having won just 5 games

:lol:

Yeah, yeah I know it's got basically no chance of happening

but it does show a major flaw in Gould's system

So does what actually would've happened, Manly and Cronulla won more games than Easts or Penrith.
