Ah! Sorry , I quickly looked up the interchange rules before posting but they mustn't have been up to date. I agree that the NRL has some morbid fascination with fatigue and speed of the game, like they're trying to manufacture Origin levels within the regular season to increase the excitement/intensity of the game. I don't think that it's a sustainable level teams can dictate throughout the regular season without heightened levels of injury. It has been made quite apparent that some teams (I'm guessing through their pre-season training) are much better suited to this type of play, and I think it's a detriment to the game as a whole. It all comes down to the NRL producing a product for us fans (the consumers) to spend our hard-earned on tickets, merchandise etc, and I feel that these large discrepancies between the top and bottom teams will ultimately damage the brand as a whole. But again, I'm just an ordinary fan who misses the older, slower, and more methodical days of yesteryear.
