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
