RIP Golden Point

[ed-grimley]

Could one of you gentleman set up a poll on this? I'm sure it would be a landslide against the rule.

Already done. Thanks.

Wayne Bennett has a sook every time the broncos lose in golden point

He was smiling, singing and fist pumping last night.. I bet it drained him

It’s f**king trash
Always has been, if you can’t be seperate after 80 minutes there is absolutely nothing wrong with a point each and head home
In fact I love when draws happens, breaks the table up a bit.

GP is always the worst quality football you’ll see all year. It’s manufactured excitement only. A draw was good enough for how many years before we decided we needed 10 minutes of terrible football to achieve a result

Not to mention we couldn’t win a Golden Point game to save ourselves

All this photo proves is that people have no idea when the markers are allowed to move.

Without seeing a pic just as the ball is played you can not tell if the broncos player was square or not.

 

[Card Shark]

Remove the ‘first point wins’ rule and just play as per normal for another 10 minutes.

As the TV stations have paid for it, it ain’t going anywhere, so this is the only solution.

Players will complain about too much workload, so offer to pay the TV stations less & give the players a 5% pay cut.

Who was he fist pumping?

I think the main point of these two photos is to show the Broncos markers are clearly not standing square, even less so than Rochow. Penalty Tigers.

 

[Pommy]

Irrespective of that result there is no need for golden point in a normal game.

 

[davi]

Tigers need a decent goal kicker, the kick that was missed by Esan Marsters on the try conversion should of been made, it ended up becoming crucial in the end.

I will say though the commentators have been inconsistent on the criticism of refereeing in Golden Point. I remember Souths were way offside in a game and charged down a field goal years ago and the refs were slammed for not calling a penalty. They then said last night "Let the players decide the games", sometimes you can't win.

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Is this thread made if Brisbane cop the raw end?

I didn't think so, null and void

Already null and void. Brisbane never cop the raw end.

For reference.

Exactly!

Gus is part of the problem!

To change something as simple as abolishing GP requires a leader.

And so ........

 

[Chook Norris]

Broadcasters want golden point so the Nrl probably won't budge.

At the very least, what the NRL should do is award 1 point to the losing team having gone to golden point. That's the only fair way to do it if golden point remains. Also adds a bit of balance against the whole 'that was a bs decision in golden point which robbed my team'

I'll do it. Which button is it.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

To be honest it should have been a draw because neither team deserved to win

 

[KokoRugbyLeague]

Go them broncos

 

[Mr Angry]

Yep. Shit result. That match was a draw.

No, the tigers scored a try.

The Broncos got all but one point from the referee.

The Broncos getting the rub of the green on a Friday prime time game, nah never happened before, never happen again.
