Terry Mullaney Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 At present it's theoretically possible a team could lose in the extra period without ever getting to play the ball As happened to Rovers on Sunday. It's a nonsense and, as such, will not apply this Sunday should Saints and Wigan be level after 80 minutes. If it's good enough for the Championship then why not for SL?

deluded pom? Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I went to the 1982 CC replay between Hull and Widnes, it was a great night. Totally agree but the Wembley game was a damp squib when the final whistle went. No one knew what was happening. I think the vast majority expected extra time.

When SL was founded the split between to two was sealed for ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt J Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 You cannot compare the two. When SL was founded the split between to two was sealed for ever. But it shouldn't. After reading peoples views on it, I can see why a neutral would love the sudden death of the game, but for me, RL is a battle for 80 minutes, it shouldn't be decided with a sudden kick, it should be over 10 minute spells.

thirteenthman Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 You cannot compare the two. When SL was founded the split between to two was sealed for ever. I'll assume you are joking about that. On golden point, I prefer the two 10 minute periods and then sudden death. All Golden Point does is to encourage a drop-goal kick-athon, which having seen it in the NRL a couple of times this year, is not a satisfactory way to end a game.

Mortis Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Fev won the toss and chose to kick! I know, that's why I said they could have taken a short kick off I'm not mad but I am... Donkeys forever, forever Donkeys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindle xiii Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I do think golden point just creates drop goal city, although the last 5 minutes of the regular match would be similar anyway. Scuse my ignorance but what trophy did Leigh win a few years ago after destroying a team in extra time? That seemed quite unflattering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber Avenger Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Scuse my ignorance but what trophy did Leigh win a few years ago after destroying a team in extra time? That seemed quite unflattering. Didn't they beat Whitehaven in the Championship (presumably then NL1) final in extra time. Gutted for Haven that day - but Leigh sure went to town in extra time, fair play. SQL Honours Play off mini league winner - 2002. Bronze Medalist - 2003. Big Split Group Winner - 2006.

urbancarrot Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 As a fax fan I aint a fan of the golden point being on the wrong side of it against Cas in the cup... But nothing will take away how good it felt when Ben Black dropped that goal to win the game so if those are the rules then we play by them and get on with it... Losing teams always moan about rules or factors in games.. I sure did when we lost to Cas but if those are the rules then those are the rules..

goldcard Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 To me, there is too much riding on the coin toss in a golden point. Unless you start to take the kick from further back, there is too much of an advantage. That's not to say things don't go against the general way however. I'd choose a next try situation. Requires a bit more skill and is less reliant on field position. Yeah, like all of the legend's© tries for Skints, I suppose. 10 minutes each way, then next score of anykind would be better for full time players, but for semi-pro sides, next score of any kind is tense enough. Not exactly like every game goes to it anyway. Wires record breaking 10 match run: L 16-17 ; L 34-36 ; L 24-44 ; L 20-38 ; L 8-46; L 14-26 ; L 20-40 ; L 22-48 ; L 14-20 ; L 8-60.

bobbruce Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I've always thought silver point would be better suited to RL than golden point.Then teams can go for the drop goal but the chance is there for the other side to win it with a try.

dallymessenger Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 if its to determine a final id go 10 minutes mandatory extra time, then golden point after. for ordinary league games golden point is fine but id change it so that the team that lost in GP is still awarded 1 point at the end of the game whilst the winner gets the bonus point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
