After being robbed of a point through this earlier in the season I’m glad Wakey have been able to square that up tonight but it should be a point each iMo.

Dump Golden Point. Make each game worth 6 points. 2 points to the team that “wins” the first half (1 each if it’s a draw), 2 points to the team that “wins” the second half (1 each if it’s a draw) and 2 points to the team that wins the game (1 each if it’s a draw). Encourages teams that are behind at half time to try to win the second half (if not the game) to gain 2 points. Discourages teams that are well ahead from easing off.

I'm a big admirer of the Golden point. Nothing worse in sport than a draw.

Sport is about winning.

Drawing is a butt kissathon. Nobody wants that.

Players shouldn't bust a gut for 80 mintues for no reward if they lose in golden point. Im all for 1 point each and the winner of golden point gets 2. The biggest issue is the drop goalathon. I think it looks a bit naff, whats wrong with next try winner?

Golden points are for knockout games, it isn’t fit for purpose in a league game.

I agree.

5 mins each way and if there's no try (or a penalty goal) then it's a draw. In a knockout game you can introduce the DG, but I would only allow it for the second period only.

My preference would be to scrap it for league games though in all honesty, and play a standard 10 mins each way for knock out games.
