Golden Point

[happy_tiger]

I am currently watching the NFL play off which has gone into OT

There rules for the play offs are interesting and I believe good

They toss for first possession and then if you kick a field goal on your first possession the other team still gets the ball back and gets a chance to either field goal or get a touch down

If the team that initially gets the ball gets a touchdown they win

I reckon that is a really good golden point rule we could use in the NRL

What do you guys and girls think ??

How do you incorporate into League Happy? a possession in NFL is different to a possession in League. Do you mean if a team scores from the kick-off? coz the chances of that aren't as high as in NFL

 

[Tiger_Watto]

Get rid of Golden Point or change it as they were discussing. Both teams get a point for the draw, and they play GP for the other point.

It only exists to keep the Betting Agencies happy!

Well GNR is it fair that you get to golden point and could get into the situation where you don't touch the ball and get beaten all because of how the coin bounces

Both teams deserve to get a shot at winning especially if the team that gets the ball 1st kicks a field goal

And Watto I'm with you I'm happy with the one point because of the draw but the NRL isn't going to change it now imo

I'd prefer to just have ten minutes of extra time. A flukey 40m field goal or a penalty goal is a terrible way to lose a game. At least then both sides get a crack at field goal.

Or ultimately scrap golden point and extra time through the regular season. If the game is tied at the end of 80 minutes then both sides deserve a point and should walk away with one. I have no problems with a draw. Save golden point and extra time for games that need an outcome, like origins, semi finals and test matches.

Why not introduce a system that when a game goes into extra time, you can either;

1\. Score a field goal, but the game continues. If the field goal is the only point scored during the full session of extra time then you win. At least if one team gets a one pointer, the other side has a chance to level the game and possibly win.

2\. If a try is scored, or penatly that results in a successful kick at goal attempt, you end the match regardless of how much more time is left in extra time.

3\. If no points are scored, game is tied and both teams walk away with a point.

It's probably been tossed up before, but this system would result in less field goal attempts as team may want to "go for the kill" and score the match winning try, but not kill off field goal attempts totally.

That is basically what the NFL game was proposing and thats what I liked about it Tiger 91

Yep. I like it. Also creates some questions for the attacking team if you get the ball early in GP down their end of the field. Do I take a FG knowing a try to them will beat us or do I go for the try and the win. This should be the NRL rules.

Such a great game this morning.

I really like their system. The NRL's golden point system sure could use a shake up.

- Make each game worth 3 points. If you win after 80mins, you get all 3\. A win in ET is worth 2, a loss in ET you get 1
- I like the idea of field goals/penalty goals still counting but the game continuing, and the only scoring play that would end the game is a try.

No golden point for me, you slog your guts out for 80 min then it mainly depends on the whim of the referee. 0ne point each in my opinion.

x2\. Hopefully teams will go for the try instead of turning ET into a field goal-a-thon.

10 mins extra, five mins each half, excepting finals games where first point wins. 3 points on offer per game (3 for Non ET win, 2 for ET win, 1 for ET loss or ET draw, 0 for Non-ET loss.)

I used to be against ET too Tigerbenji, but it creates a bargaining chip in terms of TV coverage. It guarantees an extra 10 mins of ratings for the network(s).

I'll take any chance to wring more game time out of each fixture.

This system should be put forward to the NRL Tiger91.
A much better system than what we have in place.
Nothing worse than busting your guts for 80 min and then losing to a scrapy field goal. We might even see some footy played in extra time instead of a kickfest.

Seems sensible to me!

 

[cunno]

I'd prefer golden try, the golden field goal demeans the game and diminshes it as the spectacle in those final sessions.

 

[Dr_Ice]

The constant focus on a field goal in golden point can get a bit boring, however the same thing happens in the last few minutes of normal time as well when scores are level.

If a field goal is in the rules,I think it has to counts as a golden point. If a field goal (or penalty goal) is not "golden", then the defence does not need to worry about it and can get set better.

But you take a risk by not trying to stop a FG. If you don't score that FG does become the winning play. Conceding a FG on the hope of scoring again is a massive risk. Plenty of teams have trouble kicking a FG in extra time plus the other team as the advantage of just playing for possession/field position.

It's an easy solution
No extra time in regular season , only when you need a result, like finals. And should be 10mins each way , then play to a result
For origin should only be for if needed , for example if both teams have won 1 game each and then the 3 rd game is a draw then play extra Time , but if game 1 or game 2 is draw , let it be and play the next game an have it available for the third game to force a result .

NSW win game 1
Game 2 is a draw
Qld win game 3

series is drawn. You can't have any drawn origin games.

I agree with the rest though, Draws for regular season games, 10 minutes each way for rep/finals games followed by golden point. Golden try should never see the light of day.
