Return to 20-minute quarters and 75 interchanges

Post: # 1884552Post bigcarl »

Will it work for us or against us?

Should open the game up and increase scoring. Will favour endurance players such as Hill.

Should make the game easier for key forwards, given there will be less time to double and triple team.

Thoughts?

I think it will be pretty much the same. Last season showed no matter what changes were made to the rules / schedule, the good teams were still good, and the bad teams were still bad.

Top 4 should be our goal for next year, and it is achievable. 👍

they should change the season to a Lightning Premiership format. Ten minute quarters would make the footy electrifying.

i think ... it will work in our favour

given
we will put a side on the park
that knows it can win

there’s no way in Hades
that any of them will front up ... not in good nick
for the pre season work
unless injured

i think we will play out of our skins
and monster the 11-13 below us

There'll be a lot of pressure on everyone to be very fit, because of the depth. All the HB guys know that if they're not 100%, Webster n Dmack etc will be waiting

A few of the clubs loyal servants must realise that come the end of next year it will be time for them to move elsewhere or retire.
A simple case of prove you are best 22 or preferred backup.

Some like Joyce must realise their exit papers have already been signed.
There will be no room for list cloggers.

I think it favours our versatile group of mid/forwards. Gresham, Billings, Steele and Higgins can all be very effective rotating between the midfield and forward line without costing an interchange rotation. I suspect Clark could join that list as well
