As someone said the draw worked for 90 odd years , and now because of the instant gratification players and public we changed the rules

The people who run our game are fools , we change the rules that don't need changing and leave the one that need to be fixed asap

About the only rule change they introduced that was good in the last few years was the corner post

 

[Cairnstigers]

Yes that was a good change
Some brilliant tries now because of that change

The TV stations love Golden Point, just to squeeze a few more ads in.

 

[jadtiger]

Golden point is and always has been about TV it has nothing to do with fairness or football.If teams are locked after 80 mins its a draw and should stay so

 

[Twodogs]

No not kidding …side on replay was good enough IMO
If it was one of our boys we'd have blown up if was given no try !

No downward pressure. Gus Gould is an idiot.

You and Bathurst are correct.. It's a ratings winner. But just because many watch doesn't mean they like it.
Most fans don't like GP

 

[Doc_Tiger]

Stupid idea.. you can't have three comp points for some games and two points for others.
The entire comp is uneven and unfair enough as it is.

But you can have 1 point each after extra time if there is no clear winner
Is that correct
So how is this any different or fairer for that matter
It is about trying to get the fairest and correct outcome for both teams
A refs wrong decision should not advantage or disadvantage any team
Especially in extra time when both teams have put in for 80 minutes of pure effart
One person in the middle deciding if we take away a 2 points or zero points
If a player fronts the **duediscery** over a possible illegal tackle ruled on by a refferee on the field then
Why can't that same **duediscery** also look at an outcome based on a refferies decision on the field in the same game
If it's good for the goose it's good for the gander
Tigers lost two because of a bad call
We may still have won or lost but that decision finalized the result

duediscery = :laughing:

 

[Russell]

No downward pressure.

Mate that is a try every week.

How can you even prove "downward pressure". It's a bs rule… all you need to see is contact with the ball.

He grazed the side of the ball with his finger, he didn't change it's momentum even a fraction of a percent in a downwards direction, he propelled it forward or did nothing to it at all.

I'm not gonna act like a Storm supporter and cry about every decision that goes against us.

Watched it again. There is a frame showing his fingers touching the top of the ball when it was on the ground.

Like Gus said "what is downward pressure"… it's something which shouldn't even be in the rulebook. Either there is contact with the ball in a downward motion or it's an obvious knock on.

The ball was propelled forward - knock on every day of the week.

Chee kam has been good, Nofa horrible, Benji and Brooks have played awful, Ivan is going to earn his doe at halftime

All fairness to Brooks, he's forced a couple of dropouts and if would have landed Thompson if the post wasn't there.

Benji is struggling. His long kicking is decent still but.

Brooks hasn't been bad and looks like one of our more likely to do some damage.

Brooks would be a good ISP half, not a good NRL half

Just finished watching the game and must have watched a different one..

This is the most bizarre comment in this thread…it has to be personal...

Want to give some credit to Kev. Had a shocker in round 1 but every time jimmy the jet looked to be away Kev had his measure. Couldn't find a place for him in the 3, 2, 1 because the forwards were too strong.

Yeah, he is making restitution in the last couple of weeks, keeping Chambers in check and good against the donkeys edge last night, including sliding off a tackle to negate an offload. That he was able be easily switched to the wing and then the back when injury and HIA hit cannot be overlooked as well.

He is no superstar, but cops a lot more than his fair share of criticism on here, as do the two that play inside him.

What do you guys think about this

If a game goes to extra time
A committee yet to be formed can overturn a decision they Deem to be wrong or unfair and award the two points on offer be split amongst both teams
Therefore giving one point to each team
This allows for a fair decision
Lets not forget that the refs are under extreme pressure to make a decision on the spot and this is not always the right decision
But the new committee can overturn the decision if they review the origianal decision and deem it to be wrong
I don't think any rugby league fan would disagree to this If they are being honest
The committee would have the advantage of reviewing the footage over and over
Golden point needs to be scrutinised
I believe this would be a fair way and the only way to make the correct decision
What do you think

Bring in a Captain's review like in cricket.

Secondly, golden point is stupid - either have extra time or nothing.

This is the most creative way of spelling judiciary I've ever seen :roll

Ok
My big blunder
To many drinks last night and didn't check
But not as big a blunder as the refs call last night
Even the refs boss admitted it was a mistake to award a penalty
That won't help us now

You want two results from one game...a draw and a win, crazy

I have an even better idea, let's piss Golden Point off altogether and go back to ending the game in a draw. If two teams are level after 80 minutes then they both deserve a point each, imo. It's a no brainer really, worked fine for about…..ah let me see.....90 bloody years or so!

Sounds good and logical to me

Indeed, If only the NRL would show some logic :brick:

And as I said last night
If what I mentioned was in place we would now share the points

I love golden point…. when we're not in it.

Just kidding mate - I didn't mean to single you out. There's lots of bad spelling on the forum. It was just funny at the time.

I'm more annoyed the foot in touch by Isaako wasn't picked up by the touchy - would have been game over in regulation time.

Got to agree with ink here - it creates a situation where there are more competition points on offer in the Golden Point game than in a regular game, meaning it is unfair to the teams that don't go into GP.

You would have to increase the total comp points up for grabs in regular matches to do what you are suggesting. Even then, I think @Harvey mentioned it…what happens when it's a draw after GP?

Potentially, you could have:

Regular win = 4 points
GP win = 3 points
GP draw = 2 points
GP loss = 1 point

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Imagine asking a mate what the result of a game you missed was?

“Well, Team A drew, and Team B won”
