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 .
"Pezet got a four year offer from the premiers. He would be on at least $700k up there, which would be average for a starting NRL halfback. In that light I'm sure we got him 'cheap', but it would be a lot more than $350k."
"If Melbourne have a good player to trade, no porblems.
No one is standing in Lomax's way other than him. He got what he wanted and released early and the Eels lost one of the best players in the league. The Eels sufferred, not Zac.
Now, if the Eels…"
"Too much legal stuff behind it, the release was made with restrictions. If storm offer up a origin level player I'm sure a swap can be done tho. Can't be that difficult to work out a deal if they are that interested in him "

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
