freddie, it took them 30 years just to get used to 6 tackle RL.

they still struggle with 10 m. rule.

at the way their competition is evolving they will be ready for golden point in around 20 years.

aw bless...



they have one idea (2refs) that appears to have solved a problem only they had and they think they can sort out all the game's issues




like i said,personally i'd bring in the golden point because i believe it's exciting...but a vast majority will be against it because they believe that if it's level after 80mins they both deserve a point..

the nrl only changes rules to benefit its own compeition

often these rules changes are not relevant to SL because frankly, its not at the same level

a big part of RL here is coaches looking to bend the rules. if it goes to far the rule makers need to step in and fix it up

the storm won both their competitions with play which is against the spirit of the rules

some would say its cheating

as a result of this "cheating" the rule makers respond

your coaches have enough difficulty with explaining the basics, without getting into the technical aspects of the game where NRL coaches are at.

I would support that idea. Botyh teams get rewarded for the 80 minutes but the team that goes the extra get an extra reward. Good for the fans

It's not fair on those teams who actually win the games in 80 minutes. It's not about being exciting, or decrying entertainment - it's the mere fact the game lasts 80 minutes, and if both teams can't win during that time. Tough.

are'nt some games decided with a golden point if required ie the challenge cup final & grand final?
