Extra Time Rules for finals – from the Connell and Meninga Cup operations manual
If scores are equal at the conclusion of normal time in any Finals Series match, then in such matches a period of extra time shall follow.
The commencement of the period of extra time shall be determined by the toss of a coin as described under the Laws of the Game.
If no point or points have been scored after a further period of five (5) minutes, the referee shall cease play and teams shall immediately change ends. The team that did not kick-off to commence the initial period of extra time, will kick-off to recommence the second period.
Play shall then continue on an unlimited time basis until the first point or points have been scored to determine the winner of the match. 10.12 In such extra time, the first scorer of any point or points (e.g. field goal, penalty goal or try) will immediately be declared the winner.
If a try is scored in extra time the conversion kick will not be permitted.
