Confirmed Signings 2013/2014

[Perth Tiger]

If you combine him with Graham or Tolman who can easily play 60 plus minutes then they will get some use out of him

I would imagine even with 6 interchanges most teams will go with a prop rotation that will take up only 4 of the 6 interchanges.

it could be possible that some teams might stack with 2 or more utilities on the bench and a heap of 2nd rowers masquarading as props.

i'm not sure this has been thought through properly yet.

Why!!??!!?? The NRL are talking about reducing the interchange to 8 possibly 6 and Dogs re-sign a player who can only play 20mins max before needing a massive break. Stupid decision IMO.

Think about it the other way. With 3 props that can play 80 the impact someone like Sam will have on tired forwards on the other team will be huge.

or clubs smarten up to this and play undersized props like jack de bellin instead

Or second rowers play longer minutes with sides having two 80 minute backrowers in their team. Meaning they can carry a impact player, second rower and two props on the bench easily enough. Rest their front rowers easily.

Using my team as an example. Parker and Glenn can play 80 if need be. Thaiday can come off the bench and play 60 minutes straight, meaning Gillett can come back on for Glenn or Parker, leaving us 6 interchanges for an impact player and the props if it's 8 interchanges Which is plenty to keep the rotation going.

paul gallen is probably wishing he had another 3 years in his legs

When you have your starting props, back rowers and hooker all capable of playing massive minutes, you aren't going to need players who play big minutes off the bench. Give him the last 15 or 20 minutes of a match and watch him dominate tired defenders

With 4 forwards on the bench, they will need to get an average of 45 minutes per player (5 starting forwards and 4 bench). If Tolman, Jackson, Graham and Tolman all play 65 minutes, you only need an average of 28 out of the other 5. Eastwood and Klemmer will play about 35 to 40 minutes each so the other 3 would only need to provide 20 minutes each. How you manage the interchange to give the players those minutes with the number of interchanges allowed is up to the coach

Either tremendous timing or tremendous trolling from the club.

That means Manly had 3/4 of their spine coming off contract this year. That's poor cap management.
