Whats happening? Only thing they done is remedy the macintyre system. Since then quite as a mouse. Jobs to be done. 3 points for a win, 2 points for a win in Golden point & 1 point for a loss. Our system is useless at the moment. Why aren't we with the times? Job 2- coaches challenge. We have to try & eliminate the refs power as soon as possible because watching refs these days in their little white shorts and pink socks blunder every single week & costing us games is criminal. 3 coaches challenges per half but it should be unlimited because I don't trust refs. That's 2 things for starters. The list must be long.

They're probably busy negotiating a billion dollar TV rights agreement at the moment…

And the coach challenge thing would make the game the most boring thing to watch. It's already too stop start at the moment. Would drive me nuts to see coaches challenge the smallest forward pass etc.

you talk about refs ruining the game, but the above is the most ill-conceived and contrived nonsense I have seen in quite some time.

how can you possibly justify any points for a loss?

what you've proposed is not equitable as there are 5 points on offer for games in normal time, and 4 points for all games that go to extra time. why?

what if your team goes to extra time and wins with a try? they get 3 points compared to 4 if won in the 80, it simply does not make any sense.
 
The NRL is only 1 piece in the puzzle of Rugby League in Australia… The commissioners aren't employed full-time, but meet regularly and are addressing many things within the game of RL.

Give them time, like a full trading year to get change happening!

(Gawd... They probably have 1 commissioner bogged down full-time reading Galahs correspondence.)

I'm a fan of this idea. Each game is worth 4 competition points. Win at 80 minutes, you get 4 points. Win in extra time you get 3, loser gets 1, because at the end of 80 minutes both teams were even and I think that should be rewarded. Still means each game is worth the same competition points.

Should be golden try too. You can still kick a field goal or penalty goal in extra time, but play continues. If you're up at the end of the ten minutes, you win. The only play that can end the game is a try.

Of course it makes sense because a team should be rewarded the extra point as they win the game in the allocated time. Forget about golden points- I'm talking golden points. We must looks towards the future but as Tiger Watto says it could take time.

The refs, if allowed to apply the laws in an unequivocal manner, week in and week out, would not attract the criticism that they do. Save your anger for the buffoons like Hollywood Harrigan, who reinterpret the laws at the behest of the media types who seem to run the game. The Law Book of Rugby League is uncomplicated, it's straight forward and it's relevant. It was not meant to be tweaked on a weekly basis because some of it's aspects irk someone at Channel 9.

Rugby has three times the Laws and scenarios to deal with and does it consistently well, week in and week out. The commentators commentate, they don't administer.

There are a variety of ways to deal with the need for an equitable result rather than Golden Point, the NRL are either deaf, dumb or blind. Perhaps all three

Ellery, I think you have missed the point here.

4 points for a win in 80 minutes.
0 points for a loss in 80 minutes.
3 points for a win in ET.
2 points each for a draw after ET.
1 point for a loss in ET.

That is fair and it does make sense. If you are good enough to get the win in regulation time, then you are rewarded with the full compliment of points. If you are level after 80 minutes, then both sides deserve to walk away with something for their efforts as technically they havent lost. I also agree with Alex on the golden try. ET should be 10 minutes long unless a try is scored which should declare the winner.
