Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3213417, member: 1899"] It's a good change that fixes one of the biggest flaws of the NRL squad system. Before you were basically locked into that 32 Man (29 players + 3 development players) squad with very little flexibility. So if you had a huge injury toll or players that were struggling for one reason or another there was very little you could do even though there were better options in the Queensland Cup or NSW Cup. Not only does this help the NRL players but it gives players in the QCup and NSW Cup added incentive to stick around and play good consistent football so they can take advantage of that window of opportunity. Sometimes all it takes is one good performance to open up many doors. The only loophole I could see is if you had a player like Karmichael Hunt stick around at Souths, brain it and instead of being paid what he's worth, the Broncos sit on it until Round 11 and then get him at a much cheaper rate. Or if you have a player seek a release and instead of signing with an NRL club right away, they sign with Redcliffe for 2021 but the Warriors for 2022. I'm sure they'll have measures put in place but that's a potential flaw that sticks out. [/QUOTE]
