NRL considers drastic measures to end scourge of loitering trainers

Trainers will only be allowed to enter the field three times per half for tactical reasons. And the NRL has a radical solution if they don't heed the call.

What will Alfie Langer do as he spends more time on the field than many players.

Fines won't do anything as the clubs will just pay them, why not something way stronger like losing an interchange after they have used the three per half.

I wrote to the nrl about Alfie.

Here's their response.

The blue trainer's duties are limited to interchange of players, provision of water, and carrying messages to individual team members. They are not allowed to give general messages to the team or provide any coaching (except to provide messages to individual team members) during play. They are only allowed on the field while their team is in possession of the ball (up until the fourth tackle), when a try has been scored or during a time-out called by the referee due to an injury. They are not permitted on the field when their team is defending.

Generally, it is the blue-shirt trainers who attract the most attention because they are often high-profile people and are on the field for longer periods of time.

The NRL football department continues to monitor this area of the game closely and has issued warnings and sanctions last year following the actions of blue-shirt trainers.
