Can't have been easy for Sheffield; played three games in eight days.
Having said that, I'm sure Fax and other teams have done it before as well.
One other thing: Referee Child only blew up for NINE penalties all game!

Lost all 3 as well.
Missed the end of the second half but sounds like it was a good game in the end,

Sheffield six games, five losses, five bonus points.
What "visionary" thinking can do for RFL!

While I don't agree that any reward should be given for losing, I think it should be a finer gap than 12 points. Possibly half it or less?

I'm not a fan of bonus points myself but the sheffield games they lost have been close. Not like they've been beaten by the 12 points each game.
Gateshead lost by 5
Fev lost by 8
Doncaster lost by 1
Widnes lost by 8
Leigh lost by 1
All those games including the one they won (Toulouse won by 6) have been pretty close.
I can see the arguments from both sides though, plus it's in place, so it's something you have to cope with and try to get when trailing. Especially when going for one of the lower playoff spots.
