NRL CEO Todd Greenberg has laughed off suggestions by Canterbury coach Des Hasler to golden point is headed for the scrap heap at season’s end.

Instead, Greenberg said golden point was here to stay but acknowledged that the NRL had made changes to the finals series.

“Des Hasler doesn’t make those decisions. The NRL does,” Greenberg said.

“I’ll listen very closely to Des as I’ll listen very closely to all of the coaches. We’re in the business of entertainment.

“Golden point has provided a number of entertaining finishes to the end of the season. We’ve had more golden point games in 2016 than ever before.”

There will be a period of extra-time prior to golden point in the 2016 playoffs.
