Kill it with fire .

There is too much size. 11s will demand fit players.
Bordner and Fifita are cut.
So is Dugan bring in French.

Why 11 a side?

Are you a moron or just another twat with a big idea, which is utterly shithouse?

 

[RecordBreakingMaroons.]

I thought that he meant "leave the player in jersey 11 aside".

Their training regime would change. They will become more aerobically fitter, anything that makes then lift lighter weights I'm in favour of, but I wouldn't be surprised if players like B French would play a few times for Aus. Which IMO is a good thing.

Why 11 a side?

There are numerous reasons to reduce the number of players from 13. Here are a few:

Firstly, there is less space laterally on the field than was originally intended. Evidence of this is the amount of decoy running, the amount of gang tackles, the lack of line breaks and the preference for just playing up the middle the whole time. In many peoples opinion these things are ugly.
Secondly, players aren't getting fatigued enough during the game. They spread the work load out between too many players. So little guys are a non factor at the end of the game regardless of reducing interchange.
Thirdly, the less players on the field whilst not sacrificing the skills of the game the better. More money for each professional, you can get more teams out of the same amount of players.
Fourthly, with 11 aside it is easier at the grass roots to get enough players together for a game.

OK, but Fifita isn't getting fit.

Ha ha. Maybe you would be right regarding him. He's a tool so wouldn't mind see him struggle to get a full-time contract.

Don't care what reasons you have,

All are stupid.
