| Definately a good idea. Maybe a rule which means at least one player must be 'home-grown' and under the age of 21?

That is a good idea, the 2 extra spots to academy trained players under 21. A great way to promote youth and academies

| Quote: Saint Simon "That is a good idea, the 2 extra spots to academy trained players under 21. A great way to promote youth and academies'" Now that I agree with. Perhaps the issue withthis though would be that the two academy players will miss their academy game but may not recieve game time during first team action.

That is what first led me to look at this. Also it may give long term injured a chance to be slowly reintroduced.

Agree with him.

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

| I think it would be good for a few reasons.
It would make for a more exciting game with more players alot more fresh, they would not get tired.
It would be great seeing the impact of a young half-back coming on like we have done with Tomkins.
It would make for excitement with more big runs from the impact props as they would not have to play as long.
Young players would be more likely to get a game.

| Could you imagine teams loading the bench with 6 forwards determined to batter their opponents. It would make a physical game even harder as fresher players run and hit harder. More injuries worse for players.
The only way i could see it would be something like in RU where you can replace a specialist wioth another specialist ie 4 on the bench but with 3 others available ie full back and a half back who could only come on to replace injured players .

| Quote: Isaiah "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.'"
Someone posted about more interchanges but having some earmarked for the backs - i.e. changing the halves and allowing youngsters to come through that way.
Would it make for a better game?

| Ive been saying for a while that one of the reasons we arent producing the volume of quality backs as forwards is a direct result of clubs loading their benches with forwards.
The only chance kids get at 1-7 is when there are injuries or a brave coach as those positions in the main are expected to do the full 80.
In this way its harder to blood youngsters as forwards can be rotated if they are struggling in a game wheras backs are left in the firing line.
I would add just 1 more sub - keep the number of interchanges the same and designate 2 forward 8-13 and 2 back subs 1-7 with a utility sub who could play 1-13.
If just 2 of those subs were acadamy trained under 23 year olds it would be a start.

Was going to suggest this, only I would suggest 2 of the subs must be under 21.

But you could always put limits on the bench, as has been suggested.

Here here. If coaches could come up with a new innovation since the 'impact hooker', then all the benches wouldn't look the same, and nobody would come up with...questionable ideas.
