No golden point in CC final : Thu Aug 13, 2009 12:33 pm  

http://www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=rleague/09/08/13/RUGBYL_Cup.html So I beg to ask the question. Why should all previous rounds have been golden point but not the final? Didn't feel to bad about the loss to Cas before but feel a bit hard done to now that we have missed out on extra revenue and a potential upset by having another crack at Cas.

Shock horror... the RFL changing the goal posts during the season!!!

The RFL have always been and will always be a joke until they start playing by the rules that they set. This is a big reason why we will never be seen as a major sport cos the powers that be are not respected or trusted.

I like how it's reported on teletext... "we usually dont announce where the replay will be, but as games have been tight we have done so this year" crap!

I agree regarding the other rounds and having a replay.

Your game with Cas was a prime example of how the golden point is totally unjust.

At least with our game both teams had the ball. Still don't agree with it, not a nice way to decide a game.

Reebok stadium only holds around 24 thousand capacity, is awful to exit after the game and is a soccer stadium, why, oh why, oh why there ???


I agree with U/C, I reckon it would be fantastic to see the final settled with a golden point.

How will the respective league's GF's be solved if it's a draw at full-time, if they're any different, why are they different ?

That game against Cas was immediately followed by our huge decline
