Quote: jonny the leyther "Agreed, that if reduction in injury is what you want, slowing the game down by reducing subs is the most common sense way of doing it. I still don't think it should happen though.'"


But with 6 subs you are likely to have 4 interchange props each doing a 20min spell, an interchange hooker each doing a half with a final utility player in case of injury or an abysmal performance by a starting player.

This would not slow the game down, it is highly likely to increase the tempo and be much more tactical. The added bonus of reducing injuries is certainly something that could be looked at and possibly a trial of some sorts could be done.

Reduce the number of games a player can play in a season down to a given figure. Say 25.
That would mean more of the 25 man squad would have to be used on a regular basis, it would give the younger players more first team experience.

Quote: Richie "More padding can be counter productive. Just imagine what the sport would be like if players were padded up like American footballers - it would be carnage, with full speed hits being delivered with hardened helmets and shoulder pads.'"

Read a study a while ago (some of their methods do perhaps warrent closer inspection) into this very point. whilst american footballers generally hit each other 'harder' as it were, the amounts of padding worn by the players involved generally results in less force being transfered to the man being tackled than is the case in rugby league, it also makes hitting the ground a generally less painful affair than it is in rugby league. they concluded that american footballers generally have more energetic collisions but rugby league is generally the more damaging of the two, with more 'efficient' energy transfers in tackles.
thats what i read anyway.
Gronk! is correct also, in that all that 'Armour' is almost certainly causing a lot of injuries in itself. its restrictive and prevents your skeleton and connective tissues moving with and absorbing impacts the way they are (for want of a more apt term) designed to do.
specifically on the subject at hand, i believe this will make interesting reading

Hodgson Phillips L, Standen PJ, Batt ME. Effects of seasonal change in rugby league on the incidence of injury. Br J Sports Med1998;32:144–8.[
bjsm.bmj.com/content/32/2/144.ab ... f_ipsecsha

that may also prove interesting to some of you. there are also some other possibilities cited in the study i linked in my previous post, both on the matter of summer rugby and its effect upon injury rates and types and also others focusing upon the effects of the superleague era etc.
