The benefits of the BP are clear and I can honestly say Widnes suffered a defeat or two without it I think we would have won comfortably but sides went for BP and then got momentum etc. Though I have mentioned before thus was brought in to be looked at for SL as well yet I don't think this issue has ever been officially addressed?

Does anyone know if any amateur leagues use a bonus point system? As it may have some validity there Our leagues used to run as: 1 point for turning up 2 for playing a draw 3 for a win BP for a full squad of 13. This did very well at discouraging clubs from forfeiting games. Not sure why we stopped that format, but it's lose/draw/win = 0/1/2 points again now.

As far as the rules of the game and the scoring system , YES

This actually has a lot of merit in my opinion!! A defensive bonus point rather than an attacking one would hopefully improve our game. 3pts a win 2pts a draw 1pt conceding 2 tries or less
