It was a much more enticing Round 4 as we saw three games enter golden point and four matches decided by two points or less after a number of blowouts in Round 3. Here are the five talking points from Round 4.
Cowboys under early pressure
The Cowboys got off to a solid start in Round 1 with a win over the Dragons but it’s all been downhill from there. Big man Jason Taumalolo copped an injury in a 19-point defeat to Brisbane and his absence has been missed as they have gone on to lose consecutive home matches by eyebrow-raising scorelines (16-42 vs Sharks & 12-30 vs Raiders). It’s still only Round 4 but the damage they’ve already taken to their points difference is pointing to early danger signs for Paul Green.
I hear the NRL is reconsidering golden point. However they are not even listening to the screamingly obvious option “What is wrong with a draw ?”
I hate golden point, if they need to get a result then they should play out the 10 mins and not just stop at whoever scores first wins, Its boaring and just shows up how hopeless League players are at trying to kick field goals. Its just the unfariest possible way to win a game. I prefer the draw and a vital point.😎
