What would your views be, on having a bigger bench?

Instead of 4, would our game benefit from having say 6 on the bench?
Still have only 12 interchanges.

Would it also give clubs an opportunity, to give the youngsters more of a chance.

Maybe a good idea.

Yesterday we played around 20 minutes with no interchanges due to injuries.

O'Hara went off first half, Tangata Toa was injured, Aled James and the last player injured was Luke Dyer who got up like Bambi in front of the stand.

Yeah O'Hara ripped quad, James bad shoulder I think, not sure what's wrong with Tangles and Dyer knocked out.

That kind of explains why we faded so badly second half. I didn't realise until I spoke to John Dixon after the game myself.

Still a few weeks off.

We need him back in the team badly as JVD is our only real kicking option and he is being targeted and his kicking is suffering as a result.

“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club. Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you. "Rugby League is a simple game played by simple people. Rugby Union is a complex game played by wankers." L.Daley 2005:



Agar cant manage 4 subs let alone 6.

I would appreciate it if you would keep on topic, and FC Baldy, this is not about one club, but the game as a whole.

Then no, clubs manage just fine now with 4 subs, 6 subs would mean the bench would load up with 4 forwards, a halfback and a 3/4

No planning, no tactics, no need.

I would keep with 4, adds more skill and excitement to the game. If you have 6 on the bench, you're pretty much covered for all eventualities, with 4 there is an element of risk on who is picked.

Quote: cherrydevil "I would have 4 subs and 8 interchanges.'"

with summer rugby, i think 12 interchanges is sensible. 6 on the bench is a good idea, i can't see a reason not to.
