    Happy to vote on this next year but I will be voting against it. I think the expansion to 28 players was done for the same teams that are now mainly for LTI, i.e. teams who are rebuilding or lack great depth. So we increased to 28 players to help us 'stash' a few blokes in the wings for future seasons OR for LTI cover. Also when the MSD comes around everyone is free to cut LTIs or add depth as they need at this mid point of the season. I see this as a complication to what already seems to be a pretty good system.

I'm not sure about the same old, same old tbh. I was very keen on 28, and am very ambivalent on this one, bandit who raised it is also not actually pushing it. I get when you're riding in a hummer the perspective is different to those of us in Fiat 500s, we hoi polloi can all look alike, but I assure it's not the case :p

My argument was around the fact I feel this was taken care of last year with our expansion to 28 player squads and any further rules around squad size and replacement simply confuse the issue. Lets give 28 player teams another season?

    Happy to have LTI replacements taken to a vote. However, it may well take a big chunk of TiB's redoubtable powers to frame the question on which we vote.
