Bradford 13 - 13 Hull KR

Drop goal from Deacon on 78 minutes cancelled out by Dobson drop goal on 79 mins![/b]

^^ No GP extra time? Wish they changed it back to that in NRL!

Watched Saints and Warrington yesterday. Gidley = Gun

No extra time, and rightly so.[/b]

Draw in high scoring games like rugby league dont work IMO.

I dont believe in golden point though i think golden try or extra time would work better because you dont have a kicking shootout then. <_<
 
Draws are an important part of British sport though. Always have been,always will be.

So is promotion and relegation but we've thrown that out of the window.

Hopefully however we won't go down the road of golden points.
 
I'm as annoyed as the next person regarding promotion and relegation, believe you and me.
 
^^ why did they get rid of it?

GP in NRL is stupid. It should only happen in finals, state of origin and test matches.
 
They got rid of it because they want to ringfence the Super League. And without the threat of relegation, teams are more likely to give the kids a go.

I'll be interested to see if that'll actually happen long term. I have my doubts.
