Growing up I always thought I'd be making a living as a professional sportsman, only to painstakingly realise one day that the crucial ingredients of speed, balance and coordination were all severely lacking from my repertoire.

The dust is settling over David Gallop's surprise resignation as the NRL's CEO after ten years at the helm, but the challenge remains to…
Thanks for the clarification Mark – seems like I did get a little bit ahead of myself there as I know that the NHL are pushing for the 3-2-1 system as an expansion on their current points awarded. It was proposed in 2004 for the 04/05 NHL season, but was put on hold due to the player lockout. It was again put forward by the NHL due to its popularity, but the all-powerful NHL team owners rejected the proposal in 2007.
It is interesting to note that some of the US college conferences have recently brought the 3-2-1 system in so the momentum looks to be gaining once again. I agree with your sentiments in that it’s a far more sensible approach to have the same amount of points on offer from the start to the finish of any sporting contest.

I certainly agree with you there Football United in that the draw does make the table more interesting, however, I doubt that they will go back in that direction given the popularity of the golden point – not to mention extra viewer/advertiser time. Hopefully there will be some sort of compromise though.

Thanks Byron, glad you liked the option presented – let’s hope that the Australian Rugby League Commission do ‘bring it on’!
