I agree with your general sentiment. Too many changes in aid of what? For me the biggest problem is congestion. Sick of seeing the bet players given no space to work in. This problem is a direct result of that fact that players are so much fitter, and yet grounds have stayed the same size. Add to that, interchange is used in a highly professional and tactical way to limit the number of fatigued players you have on the field at any one time.
For me, it’s reduce the numbers on-field to 16 per team, and significantly reduce interchange. I’d be happy to go to soccer-style ‘once you’re off you’re off’, which is, as people have pointed out, just a reversion to the way it once was.
