| In my mythical world all players should have a basic kicking game and halves should be able to pass off both hands to the same standard.
These are full-time sportsmen and they have all been learning and training the game since they were in their teens or younger. Personally I don't think that's too much to expect at this level.
Dwyer's ability to hit a player with a pass just behind the ear is incredible. Passing is probably my biggest bug-bear of the moment - it kills your momentum and introduces errors if you don't get it right. Easier said than done under fatigue I know.

| As we went into extra time most of the pundits were calling a Leeds win. I can't see how we could possibly be favourites going into golden point against a team with Sneyd in it. I didn't really see where the DG would come from. I think the attempts we made before Leeming finally landed show how awful we are at DGs with Gale off the pitch, they were laughably bad. Defensive line deserve huge credit for managing to keep Sneyd out of range long enough for us to finally land one. Incredibly tight game. Very relieved to see that ball finally sail over.

| It was when Leeming said "I don't practice them" re DGs and I'm thinking, well why not? Even if you might not want Tom Holroyd knocking them over (and who knows, you might), we should have at least 4-5 players who can. It's not unusual to have players injured, or caught up in a tackle or whatever - plus you can fool the defence more easily if you have more than one option (and we did do a great job on Sneyd to mark him out).
You see the difference when Maloney struck a beauty under pressure and nailed it first time.

| Maloney's was good, granted. OTOH you see a hell of a lot butchered during golden point even by players who have practiced .
TBH, if we have to have golden point I'd rather see the rules changed and have it settled by first side to score a try rather than a DG.

| Golden point is trash, the elation of drawing level then the final whistle, followed by 0-10 minutes of tired players doing terrible drop goal attempts until one goes over. Point each, move on.

| Yes BUT the two golden point game on Saturday were absolute drama weren't they? RL is an entertainment business.
Personally, I don't have a problem with draws but I can see why we have golden point too. I may have a less even view of this had we lost to FC though!

| Never liked the concept of winner takes all Golden point.If its a must have, surely each team at 80 mins deserve 1 point.The Golden point should be an additional point to the winner.

| Golden point just increases the drama. Not sure why people have a problem with it. Maybe give the losing side a point though. Love it

I think thats a decent idea mate. Personally i see nothing in the game ending in a draw but theres no denying the drama on Saturday was incredible.

Yep. Seems like a no brainer to me. Very telling that as a season ticket holder for 40 odd years at the sports biggest club nobody in Superleague or the RFL ever bothers to ask my opinion. Fist rule of politics is never to disrespect your core base. First rule of spectator sports too.

| You can't unbalance the league's points system by giving three in one game and two in every other one so that's a none starter.
However they should move it to golden try.
