somebody behind me shouted
'He's spent longer on the pitch today than he ever did when he played for The Mighty Trinity'

He was a decent player but

No I would say Sanctuary knows more about conditioning that Forshaw.

Personally i can't see a problem with it,if you can get away with it do it,sadly as i said at the game we seem too naive to do it as well.

I could be wrong here ( and if I am I' m sure a few of you will be quick to tell me ) but I think the rule is that when you make a substitution, the assistant coach or nominated coach, is allowed on the field for three tackles after the interhange to issue instructions to the team concerning positional changes etc.
Having said that I think it is a farce and I agree that Forshaw was doing much more than passing instructions about positional changes. The rules need amending to stop this abuse.

Exactly, but irritating none the less.

I admit I don't know the rules on this to say any different but surely the players would be able to advise on any positional changes and does the nominated club official really need to be on the field to inform his team where a prop is going to play?

A change because of injury I could understand, but most of the rotational subs will be premeditated and discussed with the players before hand I would’ve thought.
