Could it work? NRL to look at overhauling Golden Point system
NRL PREMIERSHIP
The Daily Telegraph’s Phil Rothfield is reporting the NRL will discuss the option of allocating four points for a win, and three points for a golden-point win, when the competition committee meets at the end of the season.
The new system would allocate one point for a loss in extra time.
Merits of the golden point system have long been debated, but the subject is once again up for discussion as three games finished in a draw after 80 minutes in Round 4. While Penrith, Manly and the Dragons scored the two points for a win, the Wests Tigers, South Sydney and Newcastle all got zip.
NRL’s head of football Graham Annesley told The Telegraph the league has looked at changes to the points system in the past, but it would be irresponsible not to revisit the suggestion.
“We’re open to discussions on these sort of issues,” Annesley said.
“Although suggestions of this type have been raised in the past, the competition committee has to date not felt there is sufficient need to change the current golden point system.
“However, as administrators, we do have a responsibility to constantly review our competition rules and consider innovative ways to enhance public interest in the premiership.”
