2016 - No Subs

[Sintiger]

THIS!

All the discussion on the sub rule and its removal seems to have completely ignored the main reason it was introduced !!!
I liked it and would have preferred 2 and 2. Maybe even more subs if you like but I reckon 2 interchange only.

Its not the main reason it was introduced

It was introduced with a interchange cap to get players more fatigued to open up the game because there were too many stoppages. It has been scrapped alongside a reduction of interchanges

I agree that a bi-product of it was the ability to offsett an injured player but it wasn't the reason is was introduced

It certainly was one of the reasons touted as to why a sub was introduced

Disagree.
Fact : It was introduced completely independently of any interchange cap - at least a year or two before.
And as a matter of opinion, I believe that reducing the disadvantage in having a player sustain a game-ending injury was the main reason it was introduced. Happy to be corrected but that was my re-collection.

Agree. Sintiger is wrong.
