Nope

If the scores are tied at full time it goes straight to extra point.

In previous years it was extra time then golden point

How do they score a point if they aren't playing? If they are playing and it is after 80 mins, how is it not extra time?

It is extra time, the only difference being that as soon as someone scores it is game over. Like the NRL.

Extra time is 2x 15 min halfs.

Golden point goes until a team socres a point which in theory could be as long as you want!

Which way will they play?

What would happen in a gale? Would one team have an unfair advantage of being able to pepper with dropgoals whereas the other has to drive for the line?

See, this is why we need rid of Cummings. That is as weak an explanation of the fact extra time apparently isn't extra time as you're ever likely to see.

It's time after the 80mins in which rugby league is played. Extra time. The refs can call it whatever they want. It will give old muffin top another reason to eat a biscuit.

They juggle penguins to decide which way they play. First to drop two penguins loses.

Then they play the spoons to see what shape ball they use as well. If the second player on the side that lost the penguin juggling drops a spoon then they use an oblique hexagonal prism shaped ball.

Are you applying for the role as Cummins replacement?

Well it depends. Shall we toss a salad to decide?

If it lands cucumber side up I'll apply, if it's spring onion I wont. I don't like spring onion, see...

There is a coin toss to determine which way the teams play.
