Hull FC have 4 points and teams trailing them have 6 points ...why are they second in the league?

Win percentage and points percentage, same system as last year

Doesn’t, make sense whichever way you look at it. Castleford should be second at the mo.
Points percentage is different to points difference. Hull have only played 2 games whereas Cas have played 3

You're mixing it up and thinking win percentage and points percentage are the same thing.
Win percentage is how many league points you have (from games you've won) divided by how many games you've played x50. This gives you a WIN percentage.
To sort out points percentage (instead of points difference) you divide the number of points scored by the number of points conceded and x100.
Look at the league table pal you'll see what I mean.

I kind of agree with it, as it's logical that if Team A has won 3 games out of 3 they'll have a better points difference than Team B that's won 2 from 2, and so if the season ended today it would be unfair given that Team A had played more games to bolster their diff than Team B. So, using a multiplication system is sensible to see which teams have a better For/Against percentage rather than a simple For minus Against. If Team A wins 3 games 34-17 and has a diff of +51 but Team B has won 2 games 25-0 and has a diff of +50 it makes sense to reflect Team B's F/A percentage more effectively.
Hopefully none of this actually matters at the end of the day and we all play our allocated games.
The pantomimes gone on long enough now. Besides, the cough itself will be small potatoes once 80% of the vaccinated have the pentagons tracking microchip implanted, 10% die from blood clots, and the other 26% are left so incognative that they can’t do basic arithmetic.
In the word of Joe Biden ‘not a joke!’

I wonder what odds you would have got for a draw?
Shows up golden point for the joke that it is, completely unnecessary. An extra 20 mins and still a draw.
Only needed in cup ties, a draw after 80 mins should be 1 pt each.
And the irony is they don't have this in the Championship and Division 1 to 'reduce the workload on the players' .
You couldn't make this s##t up!
