Re: Have your say: Tell us your thoughts about the game
If the players cover more ground as a collective now, why not reduce the number of players on the ground.
Ie a team of players used to cover 80kms in running combined a game, now say 150kms combined a game with increased aerobic capacity. So take the wings away, go to 2 on the bench, with 2 injury subs.
I'd rather players pace themselves or not a make a contest through fatigue, not because a line on a ground prohibits them making a contest.
Or just let things sort themselves out...
