Good points LB & Cap. Not a fan of some of these 'potential' changes either. Don't mind a six-player bench. I suppose let's wait and see what eventuates.
6 player bench is an idea I can understand, I think it needs to be tweaked. Like have an extra replacement like 18th man so you can cover all areas but make it slightly easier to activate or have 5 man bench and have 19th man as replacement.

Nearly every sport hands possession over after a team scores or has a genuine contest for the ball. Other than NRL and Rugby can someone name a sport where the ball is given back to the team who score. Rugby is a bit different to NRL though due to the style of play and where field position is more valued than possession.
I like the idea of the team who conceeded a try getting the ball back giving them an opportunity with the ball. Although people say it will be harder to come back from 2 or 3 tries down, it will mean once a team takes the lead late in the game the other team will get an opportunity to replyband we could see the lead change a number of times in final 10minutes in close games with attacking footy.
The only problem with this new rule is if a team conceeds a try and gets the other team to kick off, they can go for a short kick off, and get the ball back 50% of the time in good field position.
I don't think this will be an issue for long though as I think eventually the rule will change to a tap restart to avoid collisions.
Good points, I would rather just make it scoring team kicks as opposed to letting them choose.
But I don't think anyone here is complaining about kick-offs. Not necessary. NRL saying kick-offs are the issue with momentum but not 6 agains?
Finally the six man bench
