Sub Rule gone!!!

[pessimistic_]

KB won't be happy until it's just like the old days when we had a 19th and 20th man on the bench.

It'd be a much better game

I'm not sure about that. The game has sped up a lot. I could see teams regularly finishing with injured players on the field to make up the numbers. They weren't professionals back then, a lot of the grounds were crap. We see it through rose coloured glasses these days, but to quote Billy Joel 'the good ole days weren't always so good, and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems.'

The game now is merely an ugly netball / rugby / running hybrid

Good question. I'd have to think about it

I still support my club regardless of how ugly the sport is these days

Knitting?

Good riddance to the sub rule

For sure

With 4 I/C players; it may mean teams can revert to playing 2 genuine ruckmen.
Which tended to happen before the Sub rule.

Almost certainly
