It was abit of a shoddy end to a stunning game imo.
I just feel that both sides had played that well and tried that hard they both deserved a 2nd chance to try and get through.
Replays should still be in for me.
I do agree though that if Golden point is to stay it should be a try that wins it. That would be superb entertianment but with it being such a tough game a little unfair on the players.

| Quote Cruncher="Cruncher"Back in the late 60s, I played in a Lancashire Schools 7-a-side final where the Golden Point was also in force.
At the final whistle, it was 0-0. We played Golden Point from then on, with the plan that we should change ends every 10 minutes. This went on and on until my team finally scored and won the match - by which time we'd changed ends several times and had played a total of 50 extra minutes. That's 70 minutes in total - almost the length of a real match, on top of the three previous rounds that we'd also played that afternoon.
I remember it made the local press as a remarkable event. But it took an horrendous toll on the players. I could barely walk that night, and several weren't able to attend school on the following Monday morning - even though we were all due to be taken up onto the stage during assembly to be congratulated by the head.
That must have been near-enough a one-off incident. But the Golden Point does have the potential to decide a match only when sheer exhaustion leads to the collapse of one of the two sides. It's exciting for the fans, sure - but perhaps there should be a limit, beyond which the fixture has to be replayed. I certainly wouldn't want to see a major cup match settled by some kind of penalty shoot-out.'"

I think the golden point is the most exciting way, however I am not sure its the most fair, both times we have had it this year the team who received the ball first won. I say play 10 mins each way and see who is winning after that.

Reminds me of a Regal Cup Tie we had at Widnes in 1995-96 which was BBC televised. We were 16-4 down with 10 to go but came back to level at 16-16. They then played 15 minutes each way extra time which saw us come through 28-23 in the end.
But I've said elsewhere - imagine the cup final being decided by a team winning a toss of a coin, your team defenses its heart out but the opposition kicks a Joe Lydonesque drop goal from 50-60 metres for a golden point so you've lost without having a touch of the ball in extra time. Thats not fair! It wasn't a 50-60 metre drop goal but thats how Halifax lost to Castleford.

Fax could have done a short kick off if they didn't think they could defend well enough |

Personally I like the Golden point - very exciting way to end a game. However, I do think that there should be 10 mins each way extra time first, then golden point.
I don't agree with the crappy union style penalty shoot out...how dull. Union revolves around kicking goals, I wouldn't want to see that introduced.

True but had they done that kicked a drop goal then Cas wouldn't have touch the ball which I still think would be unfair. |

So you don't want a union style penalty shootout, but you don't mind winning in the other union style way of having your forwards fall on the floor several times, followed by a drop kick at goal?

That didn't happen at the Wire v KR game, the play was pretty open in Golden Point extra time, and there was still some good rugby. |

I agree with her.
A drop goal to clinch a game is every much part of the game and you have to play good Rugby League to get down field and in position to strike.
The kicking thing in Union is absolutely pointless. How good each individual player is at kicking a goal should not determine the outcome of a game. |

I take it you don't, I take it that you thought that the forwards were just flailing on the floor.
Its one of those things, not everyone will be happy with the way that cup matches are decided. |
