Should golden point be changed or scrapped?

My opinion is extra time golden try, and for player welfare, every 1 or 2 mins take two players off the field until seven are left, and it has to be a try.

The refs putt he whistle away and some teams risk offside and some dont, rugby league isnt five rucks kick for goal this isnt union its league we should see tries and some great footy!

I say leave it, but a team that loses by one point gets one point (normal and golden point).
 
If they wanna keep it how about rewarding the losing team. Winner gets 2 points, loser gets a point. We have been screwed over in too many golden point matches aswell.

I gotta say, that sounds like a shocking way to decide two points.

A draw after 80 minutes is my preference. Nothing wrong with a hard fought draw.
 
it should be the exact same how it is atm, i wouldn't mind seeing the players coming off idea! But the teams that get into extra time should both walk away with points, win or lose!
The team that wins should get the 3 points!
And the team that lost should get 1 point!
 
But then you have the issue of a team winning by a point getting more competition points than a team that lapped another by 50.

You'd really want to decide who wins a premiership game by reducing the players down to 7 vs 7?!
 
Should be a draw after 80.

If they want to do extra time, and not just the simple 5 min each way without a golden score (i.e. like the old 10 min each way where whoever is in front after those 20 minutes wins), then they should make each game worth 4 points, and for an ET win you get 3 and for an ET loss you get 1.

I don't get the whole 'it's not rugby union' debate. At least the rugby players can actually kick drop goals, Pearce and Carney's attempts last night were disgraceful.
 
Well during finals time it can be just normal golden point like we have now, but throughout the normal NRL season,i WOULDN'T MIND it!
It will make golden point alot more entertaining! and even if its not 7 players, something like 10 or 9!
It will make it much more exciting instead of the typikal hit up, hit up, hit up, hit up, field goal...
 
During the season Golden Try, then Finals/Internationals could be Golden Try Then if still leveled up Golden point??
 
i reckon Golden Try, it would really get teams throwing the ball around and playing some exciting footy
 
I was just thinking for player welfare, plus the reason i said seven was i loved the sevens tournaments was just attacking footy :)

Simply golden try will do, make it entertaining. And no shots at goal for penalties, and foul play you leave the field instantly :)

It needs to be entertaining, not a field goal competition. Or just leave it with a draw... only problem is state of origin and finals and grand finals they can't be a draw... so golden try :)

THE FOUR OPTIONS
1. Keep the status quo. Michael Maguire is the lone supporter of golden point in its current format. Most now believe the pressure on referees and players to react conservatively is a turnoff. TV ratings do spike when extra time starts.

2. Tweak to golden try. There have been no tries in 19 golden point passages since the 2010 finals. David Furner believes this would be a solution to encourage more attacking football, while still delivering a result.
3. Apply a drop-off rule. Steve Price is a fan and Wayne Bennett would even prefer it to the current system. Commonly used in touch football, teams lose a player at defined intervals to open more space and scoring opportunities.
4. Revert to a traditional draw. Comfortably the favored option among coaches, with more than half happy to settle matches as they were for 95 years.

So our current coach is in favor of my drop off rule!

Even if they drop it, how do we decide finals?

The fact ratings spike with extra time means its very unlikely fox or nbn will want it dropped...

Guess we will find out later this year or early next

David Middleton says this,
► four points for a win in regular time
► three points for a win in extra time
► two points for a draw
► one point for a loss in extra time
► zero points for a loss in regular time


I wouldnt mind this! This promotes attacking play.

Winner 13+ 4pts
Winner 1-12 3pts
Draw 2pts ea
Loser 1-12 1pt
Loser 13+ 0 pts.

I know it wouldnt really work but should see more attacking footy... prolly even bump it up more than 13+ though

So Manly's win over Parramatta last round would be worth more points than Cronulla's 12-10 win over Melbourne earlier this year? I know which one I think was the more worthy performance.

Yeah its not really a reward the storm would be way out in comp points, I just wanted to see your reply :)

I would be happy with extra time as it is, but get rid of the golden point crap. A field goal doesnt win it, keep playing until a team scores a try but if the time expires then the team with the most points wins.

Or keep it as a draw no extra time... But in saying that we need extra time for semis and grand finals and origin so what do you think James??.

The extra-time for semis and the grand final has actually already been changed for this season. It's now ten minutes (five each way, I assume) ... followed by golden point if the game is drawn at the end of that.

I think that's a great thing, no side ever deserves to have their season ended by a dropgoal in golden point.
