There could be extreme circumstances where that rule can be bypassed. I’d say our current predicament falls into that and you’re exactly right, if we don’t do this, there’s every chance of the 66-0 happening again.
Yeah I’d say it would be extreme circumstances. We would have only had Ava, Britt, Patolo and Ramounos available that’s about as thin as it gets up front. Even with the Warriors having a weakened front row too it would have been ugly.

I'm surprised that the NRL approved this considering that we can technically field a side with the names mentioned..

Maybe its more about naming a competitive side rather than just being able to put names on paper but I'm surprised too.

So its about a short term fix for you?
Fielding Britt and Romanos is going to be a deterrent to potential signings when they see us getting towelled up for the next 3 weeks.

Long term it is better for the club to bring in experienced players.
It can also be dangerous to bring in players who aren’t conditioned .

It’s just circumstance. Players are in a bubble and there’s no lower grades. I doubt it’s something we’ll see become regular. What other option do we have, picking lower grade players with no fitness.
