I actually wrote an article (that was rejected) with virtually this exact scenario. I see it like the shoulder charge, a ticking time bomb.

If a golden point loss is more notable than a regular time loss, shouldn’t a regular time win be more notable than a golden point win and be worth an extra competition point? 4-3-2-1, also meaning the same amount of competition points apply to every game.

Very strange to emphasize the word ‘literally’ when he didn’t have an actual dummy in his mouth…

I really enjoy these write-ups, but you pretty much always pick a goalscorer as the player of the game. They can’t always be the best over 90 minutes.

A five game series is only entertaining if it’s competitive. The whooping Australia received in England immediately after South Africa went four games too long.

To play everyone without shortening the series would require national squads, like a Premier League team putting out a different eleven for cup tournaments. Can’t see that going over well.

They’ve sold their biggest asset. That money won’t last forever.

By 1998's standards, which NRL teams should face the axe today?

Not quite true, Andrew. The criteria to get to 14 teams included financial viability. Norths were ultimately excluded due to insolvency. The Knights, Broncos and Warriors were guaranteed inclusion if they could satisfy the financial criteria, regardless of crowds and performance. And the assessment of finances was inconsistent and arbitrary. Sponsorships counted, grants weren’t. Had the Rabbitohs’ money from Souths Juniors been counted as sponsorship, and Penrith’s Panthers Group been counted as a grant (the opposite occured in both cases), it would have been supporters of the Chocolate Soldiers marching for reinstatement.
If the full criteria was applied today, the likes of Wests and Cronulla would be nervous.

It was essentially two groups of the old top 5. Dragged out a bit, but infinitely better than the 1997 ARL 7 team farce.

Every attempt to make to game more accessible to the public is shouted down by the traditionalists. It won’t detract from the game. Get over it.
