    "It gives relativity to a team on the conference table and gives a better view of the position of a team by giving a team with a bye four points.

    "For example, if you had a bye in Round One [like the Stormers] you will be well down the table.

    "It gives some relativity to the real likely finishing position between teams in the three conferences."

    "...this was done because a team can often look like its fallen behind on the log, even when you see it has one game in hand."


    Because people are basically dumb Happy.

    doesn't the exact opposite also happen??

    "For example, if you don't have a bye in Round One you get towards the end of the season and have to keep in mind you still have 4 points to come?"

    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.
