Rugby league legends Andrew Johns<\/a> and Billy Slater<\/a> have poured cold water on a suggestion teams could be awarded one point for simply forcing a game to extra-time.<\/p>\n

As it stands, each game in the NRL premiership is worth two points, which go solely to the winner. If a game is still tied after the extra 10 minutes of golden point, then each team will take home one competition point.<\/p>\n

But following an 81-minute thriller between Newcastle and Penrith on Saturday<\/a> – which was ended by a Nathan Cleary field goal – many have suggested the Knights didn't deserve to walk away with nothing to show for a gallant performance against the two-time reigning premiers.<\/p>\n

Johns, despite being a Knights legend and passionate supporter, is having none of that idea.<\/p>\n

\"King<\/p>\n

"No. Keep it the same," he told Nine's Sunday Footy Show<\/em>.<\/p>\n

"It's my mentality, I naturally would go all out for the win. I'd roll the dice.\ufeff"<\/p>\n

Johns suggested tied games should be decided by golden try, rather than golden point, which typically turns into a field goal shootout.<\/p>\n

Slater is also against the idea of awarding a point for being level after 80 minutes.<\/p>\n

"Starting to get to where we are in life, aren't we? We get something for losing," the Storm great said.<\/p>\n

"I don't think so. I think you either win or you lose. I really don't care to be honest.\ufeff"<\/p>\n
