  • 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.

    • 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.

        • 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.

    • 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.

    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. 

    • Yes agree with this

    • 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 

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