Substitutes

[Old Poolie]

5 from 7 next season, RIDICULOUS?
We'll be having Offensive and Defensive teams next just like the NFL!

I agree. Why the heck do you need 5 substitutes? Three was enough. What is the argument for 5 from 7?

 

[Block Sands]

The argument is that it benefits the richer clubs who can afford to have seven decent players on the bench.
