If draws were draws

Saw this blurb in the makingthenut.com column:
Golden Point Gone: It seems that golden point in finals matches will soon be a thing of the past. Let’s hope so. The NRL seems set to revert to the old system of 10-minutes each-way in finals matches, believing it is cruel for a team not to get a chance to respond in extra-time. Finally, common sense is prevailing at the NRL. Hopefully this leads to a general common sense policy at the NRL: fixed schedules, the death of the McIntyre finals system, the Grand Final sprint, painted in-goals, a points-based salary cap. But let’s not ask for too much.

Wow, I could live with all those changes, no problem at all! :respect:
 
Throw in getting rid of Golden Point in the regular season and just have draws and I'll be starting a yoghurt factory (as Beads might say).
 
Gee, it only took a NSW team to get beaten for them to bring that in.
 
Is it definately 10 minutes each way? Let's say we have a leader after the first 10 minute period, is it then game over or go another 10 minutes?
