#1148649

I’ve been thinking lately…with the effect on teams with the new bonus point system, what would the ladder have looked like last season had the bonus point system been in play??

448 bonus points are up for grabs each season, but only 426 were won. That leaves 22 drawn quarters over the 56 games. Compared to this season so far, there have only been 11 quarters drawn with one round to go.

I created a table for the ladder week by week from last seasons results:

It’s quite interesting considering that the Major Semi Final would have still been Melbs  but against the Giants and the Minor would have been in the Sunny Coast/ Brisbane EC for a Queensland Derby semi-final. The distance between 5th and 6th though is disturbing. 30 points between Magpies and Swifts compared to 18 to 7 respectively.

It will be interesting to see how the ladder shapes up at the end of this round leading into the 2nd SSN Finals Series.
