Quote Saddened!="Saddened!"What is it now? 12? I don't think it will be that much of a difference.
We should really go back to 4 subs and no interchanges IMO. Cut the fatties out of league.'"
I agree with the sentiment. I've thought that 6 interchanges is plenty. Bring more of a fatigue factor in.
When I had too much time on my hands, I came up with a whole new 3rd competition to replace the repeat fixtures. It involved rule variations of the following
5m offside rule with an focus on a quick PTB.
2 subs with 3/4 interchanges.
10 players of the match squad must be british and under 27.
Option for the NRC winners and NL1 league champs to join. Group games followed by semis and finals.
My idea was that the 5m rule would help bring back some skills the likes of Goulding and Gregory used to have. It would also allow us to play at pace with a quick PTB but against a properly formed defence.
