Having watched three games now, our pitch is a disgrace compared to the 2 on show this evening. It didn’t help anyone last night.

Wait till you get to the mkm next Friday, apparently the pitch is in a right state too for us

A draw at 80 minutes should be 1pt each. Don't forget the player welfare were players are allowed to play so many minutes in a season, and then we have this xtra time, and an extra game to play in the CCup. Flippin crazy.

Spot-on Cokey. Personally, I've no problem with Leigh winning on Thursday but this is not a game of tiddlywinks and the players deserve better.

If they're dead set on having golden point for the 'drama' then I don't hate the idea of giving a point to each side for an 80 minute draw and an extra point to whoever wins.

I do hate that idea. I strongly dislike GP for non-knockout games but at least it has an internal consistency.

Draws are fine in league games. They follow either a period of something similar to what GP extra time offers, so you had it already, or a late equalising score - that drama then being diminished (or rendered meaningless half the time).
