It came originally from awarding 1 point for every quarter you won in the game . The original concept was lost and the 4 points per game remains today .
Would be interesting to bring it back, on top of the 4 points on offer... each game has 8 premiership points up for grabs.
A win gives you 5 points (a winning club will win atleast 1 quarter) with up to 3 possilble bonus points
Draws wouldn't sound too bad either...could even mean both teams go home with 4 points.
Also rewards good losers, could potentially steal 3 points in a "good" loss.
Also, a drawn qtr means no bonus pt for either team.
Imagine all the intrigue surrounding games with a "tight" ladder come Round 22...
