Needs to end ... nothing wrong with a draw in a league fixture.

A League should be decided on points earned, if you win you earn 2 points, if you draw you earn 1 point.

The golden point could be used after extra time in knockout games.

The RFL (in its infinite wisdom) toyed with this before but only at Championship (and maybe League 1) level - think it was 2015. Two points for a win, none for a tonking but one bonus point for the losing side if they restricted the margin to two scores or less. Computer re-runs of previous seasons showed that this would not have skewed the tables very much but would, it was thought, incentivise trailing teams.

It was abandoned after one season!

IMG might revive it as they seem to be adopting every other previously failed RL scheme!

I'm all for it. Sport is about winning, not drawing.

Nobody enjoys a draw.

The money us spectators are made to fork out, we deserve a bit of excitement and drama.

The Wigan fans had a much more enjoyable trip home from Hull on Thursday night than the dull feeling of what they would have had with a draw. Money well spent.

Not a fan of golden point in regular league games and just don't see what the problem was awarding 1pt to each team if the scores were tied after 80mins and calling it a draw.

I don't believe it adds anything to game in general either in the grand scheme of things, just another gimmick decision at the time.

I dunno. The weekends games on Sky, although terrible quality, were entertaining. A lad I work with likened the Saints v Leeds game as 'Strangely compelling, like watching two seals play catch with a dildo'.

If that's not worth an increased TV deal, I don't know what is.

Golden point is great if you win and it sucks if you lose. End of.
It always seems harsh to lose in "golden time" but, it's really not a big problem.

After an intense 80 mins, a draw means a draw, so it should be 1pt each. If you want a golden point, then play for an extra point after that.
