Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 3234427, member: 8215"] I'm not saying that it wouldn't be a good thing for teams who genuinely cop multiple legit HIA's. I'm just saying it opens itself up to rorting by teams. Imagine it's the Storm vs the Rabbitohs. The Storm are down by 10 points with 15 to go. An outside back picks up an ankle issue, he can probably play on but will be a liability. You went with 4 forwards on the bench for punch, but your 18th man is a utility back. You're also about to do your last two interchanges with the bench forwards needing to come off the field. Do you: A) Interchange your last 2 forwards, using the last of your changes, and trust that you can score 2 more tries and not concede any more despite having an outside back on one leg. Or B) HIA those two forwards, both being free interchanges, and both "failing" almost immediately, allowing you to activate your 18th man, sub him on for your injured player, and still have one interchange in the bank. Also, you are Craig Bellamy. [/QUOTE]
