I reckon both teams should get a point each for drawing at full time.

Then play 10 minutes each way Golden Try if anyone scores they get 1 more point.

I'm not keen on Golden Point as it just degenerates in to a drop goal contest.

The Dalai Lama of RL?

Golden point would make our game much more exciting, that is good enough for me.
We cannot be bound to what is fair etc. we just have to make our product better to a new person.

An announcement like this would be live on sky sports news which would get good coverage and when a game goes to extra time it would get even bigger coverage.... fans watching the tele love drama, thats why they watch it.

Studies show that fans watch sport because of unpredicatability! That is the answer.

I thought the draw last night was quite exciting – I don’t understand why you would say that the last play of match to win would be much more exciting than the last second kick to snatch a draw?

By the very definition that the scores are even would suggest that a draw was a pretty exciting game?

like what i said earlier...


right how about this..

1point each for a draw

then another point for the winner in "golden TRY"

Saddam Hussein?

No Barry....Oh sorry, Dave.

Finally.

I was being sarcastic Bazza McPhippson.

Golden Point - AWFUL!

2 x 5 or 10 minutes of extra time should be installed in cup games only. Draws in a league match! Rarely happens.

unless you're a pie eater

So what is the favourite

Golden Point
Golden Try
5 Kicks at goal
No Change
or
Sum'ert else lad

I agree that a draw is an acceptable result for a regular league fixture, and so does the NRL! I don't think some posters on here understand that if 2 x 5min halves of Golden Point in the NRL bears no result, the match is drawn.

This is a spectator sport and without fans it is nothing. Golden Point is for the fans and for the good of the game. Can any of you against Golden Point tell me with a straight face that it doesn't excite you? Seriously? So you sit there with the sour face that you bring into these threads, completely unmoved, while everyone else watching the same thing you are goes bezerk? The intensity and emotion is turned up to 11 like in Spinal Tap. It's just good for the game.

But if there's no result after that, an agreeable draw is still decided. There's no sense in forcing the players to play with excessive risk to their health for a league game. That would be bad for the game. 2 x 5min halves is considerate of this danger.

I just don't see how changing the format like this negatively affects the integrity of the sport or competition. The only thing Golden Point breaks is convention. And we'd still be playing a primitive form of Union or worse if we always upheld convention.
