Golden point is set to be officially scrapped and replaced by extra time for finals matches and the grand final at a meeting of the NRL competition committee on Tuesday.

A meeting of NRL coaches last month recommended the change, with only North Queensland's Paul Green in favour of retaining golden point for play-off and sudden-death fixtures after criticism over last year's premiership being decided by a Johnathan Thurston field goal in the second minute of extra time.

The NFL policy of providing the opposition with a set of possession if the rival team kicked a field goal before they had an opportunity to win was floated as many felt it was unfair that Brisbane's only touch of the ball in extra time was when halfback Ben Hunt spilled the kick-off.

However, the NRL competition committee is expected to opt for both teams to play five minutes each way of extra time if the scores were level at full-time. If a deadlock remained at the end of the extra time period, the two teams would then play golden point.
