Time for concussion interchange.

I think reduce # of interchanges but increase size of the bench to say 6 (allows you to carry a spare playmaker and outside back).

Free interchange for anyone who comes off and fails concussion test (these players must have compulsory 1-2 weeks off). This benefits the team who is illegally disadvantaged by giving them an extra interchange. The size of this advantage increase the further the interchanges are reduced.

I hate it when i see a backrower moved into the centres to cover a loss in the backs. If this happens early effectively this team is unable to compete because the backline in reshuffled.

I think any player who stays down should be taken automatically off. It would def stop players laying down trying to milk a penalty.

Staying down to milk a penalty helped us win the game. If I was a coach I would tell my players if you are hit high, to stay down and get the penalty. I was disappointed that Chris Lawrence didn't get a penalty when he stayed down after copping knees.

We struggle to get penalties as it is and we only got 2 after guys stayed down, the merkins in pink wouldn't have given them otherwise.

I think interchange should go to seven or eight (with two -three fresh interchange players)but you should be allowed as many players on the bench as you want as long as they have played at least 1/2 of the game before (under 20s or NSW cup whatever game is on), a concussed or seriously injured player can be replaced by one of these players but the player coming off can't go back on.

I'd like to see a complete change in the Interchange Concept… Bring back 2 Reserves and only have 3 Interchange Players with a total of 8 Interchanges. Once the Reserve goes on for a Player, that Player can not return to the field.

Reserves should be nominated with the Team Lists an hour before Kick-Off.
