Those wraps on the end are called "lubbers cleating" as in landlubbers.
Better to do wraps around the bollard continuing in the same direction as the rope exits through the rod-loop on the end. Then just add one cleat on the stub. After about three or four wraps, with most ropes, there is more than enough friction to stop any slam-dunk you want to put on it.
