Nahh I totally disagree, Briers is the king of the drop goal, unfortunately.

Golden point was in HKR favour, a trip to Wire on a Wednesday night was not.

Tony Smith on the sideline made the difference, Justin made a mistake sat in his box. HKR were very poor in extra time only Cooke and Briscoe looked dangerous. Morley and Carvell were awesome, Briers showed what a great player he is. The best team won on the day won, HKR blew it.

Kicking off first was disadvantageous as we couldn't get field position. As for Cooke's attempt that was well charged down, I thought he might have been better just kicking for the corner. He had no realistic chance of converting so may have been a better idea simply to try and peg them back.

Took him 4 goes though - if your pack could have got you anywhere near, I'd have fancied Cooke or Dobson, no question.

I think I remember reading that they changed the rule of golden point in the NRL a few years back because of this. Spoilt too many great games by ending them with a quick drop goal a few minutes in to extra time. Anyone know if this is correct? Pretty sure they have to win by a try or penalty over there now. It is probably worth taking a look at over here too.

you did get field position once though, but Webster messed it up on last tackle! That was your chance.

Think they mean field position in their half. Murrell had it once as well, but knocked on, Webster too. Cracked under pressure.

The only player that looked interested in Extra Time was Cooke, and 1 man wouldn't make a difference. Warrington deserved the win.

think we might be confusing each other here. What I remember is you having possession on the warrington 20 with Webster but he lost the ball, dobson was already running into position. Think it may of been the set before wire won it.

Correct to my memory, but I was under a LOT of stress at the time lol

Much better than the penalty shoot out that happened union H cup.

funny that i thought dobson were SUPPOSED to be a great kicker

I was one of the few if only FC supporter who wished you good lcuk today.
It was an enthralling match to watch and no matter who won during golden point it was always going to be a harsh defeat for whoever lost.

I don't like it and much prefer proper extra time to sort a game out.

double post

Nah mate that was brilliant!!
Would loove to have seen carvell kick a goal

It was the 5th Tackle and Webster was around 30 metres out.
Wire did go down field and kick the winning DG after it though.

I quite enjoyed it, not because of the result but the energy levels both teams put into the golden point period was great to see!

Ditto. While confidence is an undoubted quality, i think we got a little too big for our boots on this one.

Not a bad idea but, under the circumstances of yesterdays weather conditions an extra 10 mins each way would have been a killer.

Especially with a hard game coming up next Friday.

No drop goals still count. NZ Warriors beat the Roosters this season with a Stacey Jones drop goal in the 85th minute.

As a neutral, I think it makes for great entertainment - classic match yesterday.

And Lovegrove, but its simply childish and stupid to blame injuries.

All clubs get them, its a tough sport.

easy to say when you've only got a couple.

good thing about the golden point was no hands on ball, no off side, no laying on, too scared to give a penalty away.great game

Regardless of whether the Golden Point rule is right to sort out a game, you have to think about the players.

Yesterday was so hot and both sets of players were wiped out and having a further 10mins each way with a game totaling 100mins of Rugby League in those conditions would be dangerous IMO.

At the end of the day the amount of defending we did early on took it's tool in the end yet it's something that the team have been able to overcome in matches so far this season but yesterdays hot conditions made it a totally different ball game and the early defending was amplified more than it would have been in cooler conditions.
