As per Dimma after SOO game
Give them more interchanges, they'll give you more scoring.
Bahahaha
I really like Dimma (premiership player in the red and black and a brilliant coach) but there is no way that will happen in the current environment.
Interchange grew of its own volition to huge numbers and what happened?
He’s fibbing. We know exactly why coaches want more interchange.
It allows less positional play, more players being able to follow the play and be closer to the ball all over the ground, forcing the aim of all coaches: stoppages.
They love stoppages because they’re predictable. They know play is starting in a certain position, and they can then place their players where they want. The more of them there are, the more predictable and trainable the game is. They spend all weeks practicing them.
Their job is to influence the game so to do that they need to control it.
All you have to do is to decrease the stoppages and get the game moving.
After that you can actually get rid of any limits on interchange and let them have as many as they like - because you’ll be rid of the enemy of the game: stoppages.
Continual movement is what made the game great. Stoppages are the enemy of it. Stoppages are congested, unskilled and unathletic. They’re simply blokes piling in and on top of each other: rugby union, the absolute worst spectator sport of all that is obviously where it belongs: in the toilet.
