Peter V’landys responds to Ricky Stuart’s call for 18th man use to include acts of foul play
The NRL is considering a proposal from Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart to expand the use of an 18th man to cover serious acts of foul play. Coaches would be allowed to replace players forced off the remainder of the game if the incident that caused the injury is serious enough to go on report or put a player in the sin bin. Stuart’s plan has the support of independent commission chairman Peter V’landys.
Stuart is actually in favour of having an 18th and 19th man on the bench. And he is campaigning for clubs to be able to choose their next best players, not just an emerging talent.

Don't know about 19th man, but I agree on the points of having coverage for foul play and having your next best player, rather than developing playing on as 18th man

Re 18th and 19th man... I think they should just focus on limiting interchanges, maybe an extra for foul play... but else bare minimum,.,,and then allow clubs as many players as they like. If you want to use 17 or 25 who cares, Seems simple. Sans injury teams will always want their best out there. Someone give me the counter to this?
Re: 2020 Rd 4 V Titans: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
No counter from me mate. I was having the same thought myself. There are 8 interchanges. If they be 8 new players or the same ones being subbed back in who cares. You want to see the best team win. On the weekend that didn't happen. With a fit bench we win by a cricket score but because some Dr decided to keep Kris off despite passing all tests, we lost. And how can it be good for the game or players welfare to keep a bloke with a fractured rib on. It's just sillyBoomercm wrote: ↑April 3, 2021, 12:29 am Re 18th and 19th man...

Absolutely. You just get rid of the free interchange for HIA - the only free interchange is for foul play. Then teams can carry game day squads of 21 which allows cover for injuries/HIA's etc... but you still get fatigue.FROG wrote: ↑April 3, 2021, 5:25 amNo counter from me mate.

Last week we would have used 4 interchanges in the first 15 minutes (Scott, Tapine, Kris, and James). That significantly affects us as we would only have 4 interchanges left for the game. Whoever is out there is going to be tired anyway, at least you could have tired but uninjured guys out there.

Yep coming
And parking is challenging and free. Pretty much all street parking and you want to be away from st george hospital cause all those spots are time limited with eager beaver parking rangers getting holiday rates
