Extra time will guarantee a fairer outcome in Friday nights NRL semi-final than the golden point rule alone ever could, according to Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett.North Queensland face the Broncos in Townsville for the right to take on Cronulla in next weekends preliminary final.If history is any guide, it will be an early test of the NRLs new rules around drawn finals.Two of the last three matches between the Cowboys and the Broncos have been decided by golden point - including last years thrilling grand final.But the Australian Rugby League Commission moved earlier this year to introduce two five-minute periods of extra time to be played in finals if scores are level at full-time.One of the leading agitators against the golden point rule, Bennett said he was really pleased about the change.I reminded the players of that this week. Its much fairer, Im more happy with that, he said.It gives everyone an opportunity to continue to play football for 10 minutes.After that I accept the fact, golden point - theres got to be a result and thats a fair way to do it.Bennett is braced for another close contest against the Cowboys, and believes there are a perfect storm of reasons why the two teams cant help but fight out close ones these days.The rivalry between the two clubs, two Queensland-based teams ... theres a great mixture of everything there and it does bring the best out of everybody, he said.Theyve been wonderful games, last season and this season.Not one of them has disappointed anybody. Im confident thatll happen again.North Queensland coach Paul Green expects the same, sensing an extra spring in the step of his players this week.Weve had some pretty epic games recently, he said.There is a bit of excitement in the way they have trained.Weve built up a great rivalry. We have a lot of respect for them as a team.THE COWBOYS AND THE BRONCOS: THE LAST THREERound 11, 2016 - Cowboys 19 def Broncos 18, 1300SMILES Stadium* Matt Gillett scored two tries but Johnathan Thurston broke Brisbanes hearts with a drop goal five minutes from time, completing a stunning fightback from 18-6 down early in the second half.Round 4, 2016 - Broncos 21 def Cowboys 20, Suncorp Stadium* The Broncos got a measure of revenge for their grand final loss, with Anthony Milford kicking truly five minutes into golden point time to seal victory in a match filled with late drama.Grand final, 2015 - Cowboys 17 def Broncos 16, ANZ Stadium* Perhaps one of the greatest matches of all time.

There is a glimmer of hope for both Sunderland and Hull City in their battle to avoid relegation.The struggling sides meet at the Stadium of Light on Saturday in a match that already feels like it could be pivotal in deciding the make-up of the Premier Leagues bottom three come May.But there is reason for optimism at both clubs.Hull (3-1-7) ended a run of eight games without a league win when they eked out a 2-1 victory over Southampton in their final match before the recent international break.Sunderland (1-2-8), meanwhile, recorded their first win of a tricky campaign to-date under new manager David Moyes in their last outing, beating Bournemouth 2-1 on Nov. 5.However, despite those results, both clubs remain in the relegation zone, and Hull defender Curtis Davies admits that these sides are yet to reach a turning point.Sunderland had a great win against Bournemouth before the break and we know that theyll have rolled their sleeves up and be up for a fight, Davies said. Theyll probably see the game on Saturday as a chance to get kick-started, but we dont want to be their catalyst for that. We want to be the ones who kick on and push ourselves on in the table.Were ready for a big period in the season. We know we let ourselves down during the run of games after the last break up to the Southampton fixture. We have to take the momentum and confidennce from that win forward with us now.ddddddddddddSunderland will also be looking to pick up some momentum after a less than ideal life to start under the management of much-maligned Moyes.The Scot has struggled to gel a cohesive unit at Sunderland, but he introduced one or two intriguing young prospects. One of whom -- American Lynden Gooch -- has spoken of his admiration for the coachs style.Results havent gone the way wed hoped, but the manager has put a lot of belief into us and we still feel that, little by little, were improving, gradually moving in the right direction, Gooch said.The manager wants us to keep the ball, pass it and play good football and thats my game. Thats how Ive been taught to play all the way through the academy and its helping me now. I feel that, under David Moyes, I can keep progressing.Gooch may be in contention to start against Hull, particularly given the clubs fitness concerns over Jack Rodwell, Jan Kirchhoff and Lee Cattermole. Fabio Borini, Paddy McNair and Victor Anichebe are also injury doubts for Saturdays game.Hull are missing Andy Robertson, Alex Bruce and long-term absentees Will Keane and Moses Odubajo, while striker Abel Hernandez remains a couple of weeks away from a return.
