Probably been done before this thread.
But anyway. Jade Rawlings made another call for it yesaterday after the draw with Nth.
What are peoples thoughts?
For mine, I dont like it.
I feel the aim of the Home and away rounds is to compile as many points as you can in striving for the top 4 or 8, and how they come is irrelevant.
Draws are extremely rare and great drama when they happen.
Imagine drawing against a team you hate. You play 5 min extra time, you've got 4 injured on the bench, and someone propping at FF. The umps are under double the pressure with both teams flooding and one of them makes a howler which results in a goal and you lose.
The 2 points you would have got would have put you in top 4, and the extra 2 (hated team) gets has enabled them to scrape into the 8.
Doesnt bear thinking about does it?
