Golden point extra time set to be scrapped for NRL finals and grand final

[Eelpout]

A field goal or penalty goal counts, but doesn't automatically end the game. A try ends the game.

"What if a team scores four field goals and then the other side gets an unconverted try? What then?" I hear you ask.

What a stupid question.

Just make it first to 4 points or when time is up after 10 minutes.

In regular season games - Draw after 80.
Finals - 10 mins each way, If still tied after 20 mins add an extra 10 minutes until a winner is found.

Just like the old days. I remember those extra time semi finals in the 90s (not the Parra/Canterbury one ), but they were basically going for the try in Extra time instead of a field goal. And if they couldn't crack it towards the finish they would go for a field goal.

Bennett's probably still going back to 2011 when the Broncos eliminated his Dragons in a semi final. I reckon it was about 30 seconds into GP when they kicked a field goal and it was all over red rover.

I do believe playing an extended time in finals football if the teams are locked up after 80 minutes. Maybe another 10 instead of 20, but happy either way.

Also the finish to Sunday's game wasn't exciting to me. Teams kept going for field goals, and it was obviously the best kicker on the field was going to get one. Too predictable. Bring back the draws IMO!!!

Ben Hunt to go for a field goal in this years GF in extra time thinking its golden point,bounces off the post into Kyle Feldt's hands who races away and scores a 80m solo try for the victory

Poor Ben Bunt

Meanwhile the Eels languish at the bottom of the ladder after the most pointless cap cheating of all time leads to them getting stripped of the 2009 runners up medallions.

And in other news, the Hayne Train derails in America. Yet he'd still prefer that over returning to the Eels.

I'm not named after a song. You know the song was named after an actual thing right?

 

[Mogsheen Jadwat]

Yes, a marxist/weberian theory of manufacturing an idealized concept of something via an echo chamber.

But its still a bad song.

I see you've mastered the fine art of googling things. I'm very proud of you, Mogsheen..

 

[Mogsheen Jadwat]

I did first year psych mate as part of my degree, its pretty simple stuff.

But you're right, most of uni is just googling and references lol.

Now Parra fans can shut the hell up about being robbed of the 2009 premiership and we can declare the minor premiers of 2009 as premiers. It's the only fair thing to do.... i believe they went back to back in 2010!

5 min each way on finals. If still tied continue the 2nd half of 5 minutes until auch time as one team scores a try or penalty goal.
