Yes, that rule is a stupid one. Either change the rule or if the rule has a medical basis, then get rid of 5 day turn arounds.
They really should just get rid of the 5 day turnaround. It isn't even a hard thing to do. Give all teams a proper recovery and preparation period for each game so the draw is fair for all teams

Logistically impossible I think with 16 teams/8 games whilst trying to factor in a home game every second week (I know that doesn’t always happen)

The AFL doesn't have 5 day turnarounds. I guess the fact the NRL has a Thursday game makes it harder.
Why don't they implement a Home-Away game switching each week like soccer? It would mean 30 games - is that the reason? It seems more fair to me that way though.

If they had swapped next weeks Thursday and Friday games around - all 4 teams would have had a 6 day turn around …

With some decent planning the 5 day turn around can be minimized …

What, give the Broncos anything less then a 7 day turnaround?

That's a big blow. I wish him well in his recovery.

Such an important player in our team.

When I think of his style of play it's kind of part way between a Royce Hunt and a Finucane.

Hard to replace.

Hopefully he's firing on all cylinders for the finals.
