Golden Point.........again

[izzo]

keep it

it be good if the players knew how to kick field goals

 

[gregstar]

i think a draw is a result - save golden point for finals

 

[Greenblooded]

Someone explain to me again, whats wrong with a draw??

 

[ledzep]

for club games - just draws
finals - golden point, but make it a try or goal rather than a field goal

 

[stubbsie]

Keep it. It has produced some of the closest and most entertaining games i have ever seen.

 

[Greenblooded]

I hate it, nothing worse than watching 2 teams slug it out for a draw over 80 minutes, then have a field goal lottery and one team leave with nothing. Thats fine for the finals when you need a result but not in club games.

 

[Dr Crane]

Keep it.

Bugger this PC justice crap.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

7-5 to keep it. I say keep it, it raises the bar, makes the players work harder, brilliant footy to watch.

 

[The Grouch]

Nothing wrong with a draw IMO

 

[Biglance]

i like the golden point mainly cause my team hasnt been in one but its good for the fans and unless ur a cronulla supporter (flegg gf) field goals make it good

 

[Stranger]

How good was the setting of the Broncoes Knights match in golden point. It was priceless. The when Kiddley slammed over the worst field goal in rugby league it was great. Just fantastic keep it, it increases atmosopher and it helps with my tips because there hardly is a draw anymore.

 

[swing_low]

Its good for finals, state of origin only...id take 1 point over the possibility of 0 any day

 

[Dr Crane]

ur a cronulla supporter (flegg gf)

What were they supposed to do? Have a draw?

 

[SP]

it doesnt really matter, if the scores are still level after the GP it its a draw anyway

 

[thuganomics]

Keep it that way it is.

 

[LeagueNut]

Keep it, for all the reasons already mentioned.

I would like to try one modification though ... after the 80-minute siren goes off, just keep playing without any breaks. No coin-toss, no restart from halfway, just keep the play going exactly as it was. In a drawn game the last two or three minutes (or longer) are basically played as though it was golden point anyway, so it's not going to advantage any team one way or the other.

 

[Biglance]

IanRitchie, if they could kick the bloody goals they would have one

 

[lazza]

only thing i would think is dumb is if in a playoff game, you play 10 mins, the stop, swap and then play indefinitely until someone scores

although its never happend before.. what happens if the wind is a factor?

ie somehow the team running against the wind holds out, then has an advantage for the rest of the game.

I think it should be 10 mins with a 1 min break/swap and keep doing it until someone scores.

 

[Deano]

Keep it but 1 competition point for the losing team.

Nah get rid of it they had no idea what the f*&k they were doing in the WT vs South game. Draw is better because it actually mite make it a closer competition and more teams maybe fighting for the a position in the 8th, even more so that the competition may possibly be more even next yr. Thats my opinion
