The NRLs controversial golden-point system is set to be reviewed at the end of the season, according to a member of the competition committee.In the same week NRL boss Todd Greenberg laughed off claims of an extra-time overhaul, Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson admitted rival coaches were keen to put it back on the post-season agenda.Robinson is one of two coaches, including South Sydney counterpart Michael Maguire, appointed last summer to the 11-person committee.He admitted the issue was raised in a coaches meeting in May during the Tasman Test.We had our views on that and Id say it might be discussed again, Robinson said.We werent going to make changes at that point, but there will be discussions at some point in the off-season or the pre-season.Canterbury coach Des Hasler and Manly rival Trent Barrett both called for an end to golden point after a controversial finish to a game earlier this month between the two teams.Most of the criticism over the system centres on a lack of penalties being blown by referees despite obvious rules being broken in extra time.Some coaches have even admitted to ordering players to ignore certain on-field laws.Greenberg earlier this week defended golden point, saying the system had brought an extra level of excitement to the game and added to the spectacle.He was also quick to point out how there had been a record 15 golden-point games in 2016, but said he would also listen to opinions offered by the coaches.Ill listen very closely to Des, as Ill listen very closely to all of the coaches. Were in the business of entertainment, he said on Tuesday.A period of extra time will be played before golden point during this years finals series. Discount Custom NHL Shirts .500 on the season.

Yet another week of discussing Cris Cyborg Justinos weight will culminate in a 140-pound catchweight bout against Lina Lansberg on Saturday at UFC Fight Night in Brasilia, Brazil.Justino remains the 145-pound Invicta FC featherweight champion, but she has been forced to cut to 140 pounds for her two UFC appearances because the promotion does not have a 145-pound weight class.It doesnt have a 140-pound weight class, either, but lets not get off topic. Justinos weight has been covered extensively leading up to this fight, as it always is. Now its time to talk about the fight itself.Lets take a closer look at the Brazilians sophomore UFC appearance as well as a few other matchups on the card. Dont agree with these picks? Let me know on Twitter: @bokamotoESPN.Main eventCris Justino (15-1) vs. Lina Lansberg (6-1) 140-pound catchweight Odds: Justino -1275; Lansberg +825The word mismatch comes to mind.Its pretty well documented by now that Justino is a shark swimming in a pond of 145-pound minnows. The division just doesnt exist within the UFC, so its difficult finding this woman a fight (let alone a competitive one). Until one of the UFCs top 135-pounders finds it in her best interest to fight Justino, were going to see matchups like this. Theres nothing wrong with Lansberg, but shes in way over her head -- stylistically and physically.Lansberg, 34, is a former professional kickboxer out of Sweden whose MMA career is less than 4 years old. She has done a nice job of playing to her strengths through seven pro fights, although all have come against a weaker level of opposition than what shell see this weekend. Her nickname is Elbow Princess, and its hard to understate how much she loves throwing them bows. They are her weapon of choice anytime shes within a certain range.Where does she hold an advantage against Justino, though? The answer might legitimately be absolutely nowhere. Shes bringing elbows to a knife fight. Justinos right hand lays waste to everything it touches, and very quietly shes getting more efficient with it. Her clinch striking matches up perfectly fine with Lansbergs, especially when you consider the size difference. Justino is skipping meals and taking birth control just to make 140. Lansberg is a 1135-pound fighter.ddddddddddddAlthough we tend to expect a standup showcase out of Justino, she has a major grappling advantage here as well. If she wanted to take this to the floor and finish it via ground and pound, theres not much evidence that suggests she couldnt.If were searching for something that might play out in Lansbergs favor, it would be the drastic weight cut for Justino. You add up the weight cut, the emotions of fighting at home, the fact so many of her fights end within the first minute -- usually that adds up to a gassed fighter. But even though her UFC debut was quick (81 seconds), Justino showed a lot of composure for such a big moment and very little wasted energy. And shes such a workhorse in the gym (she has to be; burning calories is one of the main requirements when she fights at this weight) that cardio has never been a major issue. Surviving and hoping Justino gets tired might be a game plan ... but its probably not a very effective one.Lansberg has been very impressive at times during her career, particularly inside that clinch -- but again, the level of competition wasnt the same and her overall skill set is not on par with Justino. She also hasnt displayed a ton of knockout power, which lessens the likelihood of that punchers chance all fighters have.Prediction:?Lansberg will be a lamb led to the slaughter. Justino via KO in 55 seconds.Featured fights:Renan Barao (33-4) vs. Phillipe Nover (11-5-1), featherweights The Barao we used to know may be gone forever. A few holes have been exposed and its fair to question where his confidence is at this point. He should have enough to win this, though. Prediction: Barao submission.Roy Nelson (21-13) vs. Antonio Silva (19-8-1), heavyweights Two hard hitters with plenty of miles behind them. One of them has a granite chin. The other does not. Prediction: Nelson KO.Paul Felder (12-2) vs. Francisco Trinaldo (20-4), lightweights? Trinaldo has won six in a row against quality opposition. Hell get in the face of Felder, who has had issues in the past of not pulling the trigger. This is a tossup. Prediction: Felder TKO. ' ' '
