Cook hasn't been Premiership standard for a number of years and gives up if he doesn't gate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat 15 was one of the best ever starts I have seen.

Apparently, according to the league tables, Leicester lost. We can't have a fair result i.e. a draw, anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I take it from that , that it is possible to win the Premier League without winning a single meeting all season .

If that's what you believe, fair enough. However, worrall did very well and is a lot better than bomber at Leicester. Cook will improve and get more points than bachelor. But, time will tell.

Different points for different margins of away wins, etc. Had more columns than the Pantheon. Edited August 8, 2023 by Bojangles 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't comment on Bomber at Leicester as I've never seen him there but at Monmore is a different story and that was my point. If you're thinking Cook will improve you may be be a little disappointed, it's rather sad really to see what he's become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with a draw . Absolutely pathetic yet again . Didn't they do the same against Peterborough a few weeks ago..

I'm confused? On 8/7/2023 at 10:43 PM, lisa-colette said: They only lost the superheat not the meeting, they still get a league point for drawing plus also the BP. If you lose a meeting you get zero.

The way the league points work, I would say Wolves won (2 points), whilst Leicester drew (1 point). Plus Leicester got the bonus point. Simple right?

Only because of the bonus point. In normal circumstances 2 points means a win. So I consider a "winning draw" a win and a "losing draw" a draw.

They can't make anything simple sadly at least this win draw was won by actually "winning" a race and not by the virtue of just drawing away from home, like in the past. It's a tricky one, because every "super heat" I have seen has added real excitement to the climax of a meeting... If it can just be re-branded in some way to keep the pedants happy I think they're onto a winner with this one.

But if they want a winner on the night, I'd rather they go whole hog & give 2 points to the superheat winner & 0 to the loser. Just have wins & losses. I don't understand the logic of not wanting draws, but still having draws? Or even 3 points for a win, 0 for a loss. Then 2/1 in the superheat, means 3 points awarded each match, but a proper win is better than a superheat win? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree It's not right that a match going to a superheat generates more points that a 'normal' meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
