Golden point is the way forward.



Imagine our game against Saints at Cardiff or our game agains Leeds away going live on sky sports into extra time golden point. It would be a great advert for the game, people would hear about it on SSN and turn over.

Finally we have a forum moderator who appears to have more than 2 brain cells to rub together. I've thought for a long time that we should be getting rid of draws in our sport. Thank god finally someone else agrees with me.

" and after four tackles, you just... hand it over? You've not dropped it, you've not kicked it away, you have to give it to the opposition? Are you on crack?"

Stupid idea. What's wring with each team gaining a point? It also makes the league more exciting with draws gang teams a point.

No it isn't , if you want a drop goal fest , watch RU , league games don't need a definite result , cup games do

Have some sympathy but disagree having seen it in practice in the NRL. Fetishises the DG and is knackering for the players. Keep the game to 80 mins where at all possible.

Again - it's a non-result. Neither side is satisfied, each has to wait till the end of the season to know if it was a point gained or lost. We can one-up football here by having every game settled on the day without the need for extra time or shoot-outs.

I like draws

Agree 100%.

Away goals only applies to knock-out matches though. In League matches all teams should compete on as even footing as possible. If we move to a "no draws" model then it should be based solely on the idea of out-scoring the opposition via whatever medium.



I like the idea as a piece of innovative thinking but disagree on an ideological level.



I'd be interested in seeing some analysis of the teams that have drawn games over the course of SL (not that RL began with SL, but it's as good a period to analyse as any). I wonder if such a rule would be biased towards bigger teams - my theory being that draws are either between teams of equal footing or a stronger home team against a weaker away team.

What about increasing points for a win to 3 to reward a winning team significantly more than if they drew?



I'm actually happy with draws and because of the scoring system in rugby are usually exciting events unlike football
