At the risk of sounding stupid (which is probably the case), please advise what these figures mean. Does your last comment vindicate using the Super League rule rather than the present kick off rule?

It shows the regular season ladder & each teams average points for (FPG) vs their against (AFG).
It's open to interpretation but the figures show that the teams at the bottom of the table in Super League were more competitive based off of their +/-
I pressed your comment twice which does suggest a degree of stupidity. However, the results speak louder than words so who can argue that the competition becomes more condensed under the Super League kick-off rule and that can only be good for the game. Maybe a rule change would serve that purpose better than the salary cap does?

Comparing 1997 to 2025 is flawed in so many ways. So many different rules have changed in that time.
What were the results from the year before and after the rules changed? Did the bottom teams win any more games? Were they more competitive? Honestly, it's a rule change that's not needed and unlikely to have the effect people think it would
The Super League points deferentials for the bottom teams do compare favourable to the 1997 ARL, the reunited comp in 1998 & also to '95
