Correct wouldn't work in football and for doesn't work in our game either. A draw is normally a fair result and the game has Always been decided over 80 mins and in reality it is a gimmick to see who drops the first goal and nothing to do with scoring tries which the game is about.

Exciting though, especially if watching as a neutral. Without golden point we wouldn't have beaten Wigan last year.
Seem to remember reading somewhere,about a suggestion of 2 points for golden point winner and a 1 point consolation for loser, thus softening the blow.
Very funny yet informative pre luncheon speech from Ben Thaler at the club today . He was pointing out that next season when the fans are getting on the officials backs for the raft of penalties that will blight the game in the early rounds until the players get a grip on the rules ,is purely down to the RL’s insurance company pulling out after 40 years of association with our game ,and just one insurance company willing to take the game on out of a raft of 40 that were approached , it really does hit home how serious everyone needs to take the head knocks going forwards .
