Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3514422, member: 9052"] It's more about looking ahead and proper foresight ... yes NSW and QLD need to name an 18th man.... but all going well they wont spend a second on the field, so why is NRL (the actual competition) impacted when there are other avenues. A club team losing a player that isn't meant to play has been an issue forever, but only ever popped up when the state team wanted to keep them as injury cover. Now it's present for every game. What has changed from 1980 to 2021 that the 18th man can no longer play for their club side?? Origin teams have always had to deal with their extended squad returning to club games on the weekend... so why now is it suddenly an issue. Why not make the origin teams name a squad and bring someone in to be the 18th man on game day, but still allow them to play in club land. [/QUOTE]
