Rugby league fans tasted victory with the decision to bury the McIntyre finals system but a push to replace golden point with golden try is doomed.
While all 16 clubs were in favour of a change to the top eight format, none supported a move away from golden point in determining games locked up after 80 minutes.
That's despite critics and a large portion of fans demanding a change to golden try to end the repetitious and predictable march down field for attempts at field goal.
ARLC general manager of football operations, Nathan McGuirk, told Sportal that golden point is here to stay.
"I think there is still some debate whether or not golden try would actually present the exciting, open football that everyone thinks it will," McGuirk said on Thursday.
"It's quite difficult in those circumstances to be scoring tries."
"It could potentially lead to more draws which goes against why we're actually having extra time in games."
"We're there to determine a winner."
"Every time we've opened it up to discussion with clubs they've supported the current structure."
"They support golden point."
McGuirk argues the scramble in extra-time golden point makes the games more exciting, not less.
The league is also concerned a move to golden try would change the fabric of the game, with field goals and penalty goals eliminated from the equation beyond the 80-minute mark.
"We think golden point has been a fantastic innovation for the game," McGuirk said.
"Our highlights for each and every one of our seasons is generally provided by golden point."
"There are some clear positives with golden point."
But not all supporters agree.
Writing on a rugby league forum, Luke of Brisbane expressed the thoughts of many when he said: "Of course it (golden try) would be more exciting. I hate seeing both teams get stuck even at the end of full-time..only to spend the next 10mins having a shoot-out."
"It's a joke! I have wanted the golden-try for a win, ever since extra time was introduced. The fans want this."
