"I saw that this moring (UK time), yes. But we'll never know if he cost us 50k more than he would have a few weeks ago. Same for Apa, I think he would have signed a 1y NRL contract for next year."
"The 2026-2031 stuff was player options. His contract ended at the end of 2025, meaning he was free to talk to rivals in November 2024. The options only came into play if he activated them, and he didn't. Matterson's contract also ended in 2025 but…"

Yeah, it's rediculous why they haven't done it yet already with all the injuries that occur. It would improve the product on tv. I think you only need to go to a 5 man bench though, with an 18th man still.
It's getting to a stage where even the lesser concussions are treated more seriously it may even help them make the decision to keep the players off easier .
In 2000 season because it started early because of the Olympics they had a 6 man bench.
4 interchange 2 reserves if the reserve came on the person he replaced was off.
Id like a variation of that 3 man 6 interchange bench.
2 reserves good coaches could be real tactical with the reserves plus they cover injuries aswell
Sounds interesting offside could work well
