| I have always thought that this golden point rule was an absolute farce. What is wrong with two teams that have gone toe to toe over 80 minutes taking a point each. Hull battered us in the first half, we couldn’t cope with their intensity they were superb, second half was a different story we were much the better side and put ourselves with a chance of winning the game. A point each would have been a fair reflection of the game.
Every season though the rfl seem to
Want to change the rules and we are left scratching our heads as to what is going on, the only rule that needs changing in my opinion is a contested scrum, if not why do we bother?

| Quote deeHell="deeHell"Exactly the GP was first copied from the NFL for TV networks in OZ. Our interpretation of the rules is an abomination. How can you have a sudden death shoot out with only one team having a shot. It's like having a penalty shoot-out in Football when the winner of toss takes the 1st penalty to win outright.'"
Spot on! that's my moan about it - you might as well say we'll toss a coin to see who wins the game. Injustice.
It would be a fairer to say the club that scored the most tries wins it! BUT I don'd advocate that either- a draw is a draw, end of.

I would guess that 99% of the crowd knew Hull would probably win because of Sneyd being present. Did they win the actual toss and choose to receive?

I don't know Wollo - I assume so. Think I'd want first crack at it. I have to say it must be very rare for a team to score from the first set, but it CAN happen as we saw and that's what makes it grossly unfair. Only Hull had an opportunity to win it!

The biggest farce of all is that there are different rules for Golden Point depending on what division you are in. Would any other sport adopt different rules for it's top flight and it's second/third tier?? It's laughable.
At least have some consistency and say at the end of 80 minutes each team gets a point and then play for the bonus point. At least that way each team gets some reward for getting a draw.
I said it after Friday and I'll say it again, I am very close to giving up on Rugby League due to these farcical decisions/unfair repeat fixtures/Magic weekend and don't even get me started on the standard of "full-time professional" referees.

| Just like a penalty shoot out in Football, the golden point is ok when your side wins.
Having said that, the side that wins the toss and receives from the restart has a massive advantage and taking out the argument of whether it's actually neccessary to go through the process in the regular season games, maybe a DG shouldn't be allowed or, perhaps there should need to be a 2 pint margin, although the golden point would of course take longer.
