Golden Point should be reviewed.
Here is why.
1. In the old days equal scores meant a point each. Now it means one team gets no points. Why not call it Lead Point.
2. Golden Point is supposed to make extra time exciting, but because game stops as soon as someone (usually) kicks a field goal its not exciting as its more opportunistic. And it should be called Golden Two Points cause that is what you get on the competition ladder, which matters more.
3. As game stops also on a penalty (kicked), cheating ... sorry, gamesmanship is encouraged and rewarded.
Here is what to change it to.
1. Full-time both teams get a point. Golden point is to get an extra competition point.
2. Fixed time of 5 minutes each. So there is another fixed time ending (field goal, chip, bomb, or magic play is encouraged), so more exciting than first field goal or kicked penalty.
Last weekend Manly deserved to come away with a point.
That's my point.
