Hamster Huey said:Dan said:To me the rules are very clear there. Extra time then golden point if I remember correctly this actually happened a few years back to some team.
Manly absolutely have a right to and absolutely should lodge a complaint with the NRL in my opinion based on that the NRL are either forced to replay the game or compensate Manly in a big way, that is a clear breach of the rules that absolutely cost manly the game
It was to be discussed from the fallout of the Dragons vs Broncos match in 2011 .
But the NRL Operations Manual for 2012 states on page 20 that there is no Extra Time and all finals (including GFs) will go straight into Golden Point.
So the question remains; did the 2013 or 2014 Operations Manuals change the rules, which are reflected in the 2014 NRL Rules of the Game?
EDIT - Just saw the later entries from the Media Guide. Looks like another amateur effort to grip up the constantly changing rules and edicts the reactionary NRL implements.
