The third episode of Super League Golden Point features Brian Carney, Barrie McDermott and Phil Clarke discussing some of the main talking points of the past week.

The trio talk about the departure of Rick Stone from Huddersfield Giants earlier in the week.

Stone was appointed head coach in 2016 and led the Giants back into the top eight in 2017, but this season they sit second bottom of the Super League table with just two wins from their first seven games.

Chris Thorman has been placed in charge of all first-team matters at Huddersfield for the time being.

The mid-season Test between England and New Zealand in Denver on June 23 is also on the agenda.

The match has been sanctioned by the Rugby League International Federation and is taking place during the mid-season break, but some NRL clubs are threatening to not release players.

The trio will also debate the merits of a draw versus a golden-point game following Brisbane's 9-7 victory at Wests Tigers in the NRL last Friday.
