I imagine this has already been talked about on here at some point but...
Seeing as teams like The Titans and Eels are stuggling, do you think it would be good for the game or struggling teams if there was a trade window - Where teams could do straight swaps for similar players and/or multi trade type scenarios until say, a trade deadline in the end of May/June.
A basic example - trading Luke Bailey, Myles (and perhaps a tackling coach) to Parra; for Hindmarsh and MoiMoi (and perhaps an attacking coach).
Teams with massive depth in the forwards but no depth (or skill) in the backs could potentially trade forwards for backs and vice versa. Teams would obviously take on the existing contracts if they could fit under the salary cap. (or in a different set of books if you play in Melbourne;-))
Potentially could give players not getting game time, (Inu, Fishiashi) a starting role in a team lacking attack or players that are fed up and/or sick of losing (Hindmarsh, Scott Prince) a fresh start.
It does make the NBA exciting to see trades potentially change the face of the team mid-season and rejuvenate franchises - see The Boston Celtics.
But it can also be frustrating to see players you like being traded, and sometimes shipped out a number of times in their career - moved around like a pawn on a chessboard. Whether or not this would work in the NRL i'm not sure...
Thoughts?
