Piss the interchanges off. 4 Reserves, once on they stay on. Old School attrition brought back into the game and let the little skilled ball runners entertain when the boys get tired.
Get rid of the 6 agains, the referee influences the game on the run too much with no scrutiny at the time. Its also hard to work out why a lot are given.
Give clubs a massive dispensation on the salary cap for home made juniors, recognising the $$ and time they have put into the player developing him.
If you eliminate interchange their bodies will breakdown, different speed and intensity these days, the welfare of the athletes is important. The game is a good balance of exciting attack and inspiring defence.
The punishment for doing this is the 20m restart. 7 tackles on top is overkill and swings it back the other way far too heavily. It's lame seeing an almost-try turn into pressure on the opposite end one set layer.
It depends where it's kicked from. The 7 tackle set was brought in because teams that struggled to make ground would kick it dead so they don't start their defensive set under pressure
"I have this vision of Lomax doing his 3rd hit up in the set and the forwards and Sivo having a smoke next to the goal posts, which they automatically take when the skipper says take your positions!"
"There are quite a few wingers who are noted try scorers but don't offer that much with the kick returns - Alex Johnston, khan Perriera even JAC spring to mind. Everyone has a problem putting Sivo in that category because of his size - and I get…"
"He's really an absolute enigma. He scores some tries that others can't but lets in just as many.
He tried the full on run back into the defence on the first tackle against Manly and came out limping and we never saw it again.
What do you do?…"
"The Warriors are the more obvious target.
With JFH moving back home after nie on a decade I wonder if DB being away pretty much for the same amount of time the pull to go home is a pull more so than the Roosters and Riff.
If DB decided to go to Riff…"

What do you do with injuries the game is fast enough now to many injuries and hias in the game why is like a six man bench
The big men slow down due to fatigue. Part of the speeding up of the game can be attributed to the interchange now available.
The game thrived for 80 odd years prior to the interchange coming in. Its nothing new.

I like the way you think BE.
I agree on the 6 again. It's arbitrary bullshit and half the time no one even knows what it's for.
8 interchanges are fine. One of the best players last year was Reece Walsh. The "little man" hasn't disappeared.
No more 7-tackle set for kicking it dead.

Yes agree with this

Yeah. Make it if you are in the opposition half you can kick it dead.
