I think if they bring back reserve grade before the main game we should again look at the interchange rule.
I would go with 2 fresh interchange players that interchanges involving theses 2 can total 4 for the match. This for mine would have the most affect on forwards, many current forwards can only play about 30-40 minutes per match but in time they can work on their fitness to spend more time on the field.
Any other player that needs to be replaced if injured of having a shooker is replaced by a player that has played at least 1/2 of the reserve grade match. The players replaced can not come back on.
This would almost be like the rules of the late 80's. I think it would allow for greater games as it would bring fatigue back into matches. Also players in resreve grade would have the chance to shine when they get on. I remember as a youngster going to matches I always looked forward to young players getting their first 10-20 minutes in first grade after already playing reserve grade.
