Seniors rule change long overdue

The national legislators have finally listened to the people that matter, the players. For as long as we can remember there has been a huge lobby of local associations from U19 through to Amateurs imploring the games "rulers" to allow the use of five substitutes to be used at each game. Next season the associations administering 19s to Senior will trial the five substitute rule. Now at least if you list 16 players to play clubs will have an opportunity to offer all 16 players some game time.
