SUPER LEAGUE sides will be able to make only 10 interchanges during matches from next season.
The reduction from the current 12
how do you think this will effeced the team and witch players going to be effteced the most

I think the major impact it has on most teams is that they'll only have 10 interchanges and not 12.

^ Yes 2 less interchanges.

Although Bradford have an interchange instead of a bus station so they have 11

Players who are able to do longer stints will be favoured then. Bye bye Kylie IMO

With substitutions now more limited is there still a role for players who see their only function when on the pitch as giving a more illustrious team mate a rest?

Maybe, maybe not. I do think that Kirke is capable of playing more minutes, and may be a more useful member of the squad than someone like Kylie who can only do about 25mins a game these days

Terrible idea.

How is having physically and mentally fatigued players on the field for longer going to increase the intensity or quality of the competition?

Yes but he'll come on earlier and stay on for longer whilst two players are rested rather than one.
In the meantime the more illustrious players will get longer rests and should be able to do more whilst the other has a rest meaning this player won't need to do any more work.

"He will not be able to see too well....."

Oh I'm certain he's capable of more minutes. One thing I'll say about Kirke is he always leaves the field with plenty left in the tank.

Aye, bring back unlimited interchanges then we'll see a much better game

It won't. But at least the sky team can comment on how the competition has improved in attack with all the extra sky games.

Don't think it's a great idea myself but on the Other hand makes the coaches work and be tactical with their changes

Does it bring us into line with NRL and International rules? If so then good.

I prefer fewer substitutions as it makes the game easier to follow now I'm getting on a bit.

On the issue of fatigue maybe it'll mean sides will be made up of more athletes rather than Paleassina like lumps that are fatigued after 15mins if they have fewer interchanges? Maybe it will actually drive up quality as a result?

I think I agree with this. The likes of Paliasina were effective because although they had defensive flaws you knew if they were on, you could get some good drives and hopefully get on the front foot, and expose yourslef to fewer defensive sets in your red zone. If your interchanges are going to have to be used for slightly longer stints then your one trick ponies, will have to become better players or become less effective and utilised

Am i the only leeds fan that believes that kirkes place will be taken by griffin nxt season, thus taking away the problem of less interchanges.
