Newcastle Knights captain Mitchell Pearce was furious with the notion of points being taken from teams.

The NRL will give consideration to scrapping competition points from the opening two rounds of the season when the innovation committee reconvenes on Thursday to discuss the potential of a two-conference system.

"I can tell you honestly, he and Donny Furner gave a number of scenarios where their clubs would have been disadvantaged," Grant told theGetty Or, split the competition into two conferences in two locations and rejig the draw for a finals system similar to the NBA. That would involve playing each of the other seven teams in the conference twice in a 14-round competition. It would also open the door for the NRL to wipe the points from the opening two rounds. However there is an argument to keeping those points, even if you adopt the two-conference system.

"These are dark times for everyone, and the thing for me is our members and our fans and our sponsors are hanging onto the excitement of how we started the season. The number one thing is we get back and play, I know it is."But we are asking them to stick solid and continue their memberships with the team around a narrative of what we have done so far.

Seems more obvious NRL want Roosters to get the hat trick as they're at the bottom.

'I can tell you honestly, he (Trent Robinson) & Donny Furner (Raiders chief) gave a number of scenarios where their clubs would have been disadvantaged,' Grant told the Herald. But we picked one that advantages the winless roosters....
