With respect, hat's just a repeat of your earlier argument. Any team can sign out of contract players - shopping in the Dexter Blackstock market - at any time. In January, a club can sign an entirely new team, if it has the means and the inclination to do so.

As I said yours is an argument for banning the signing of any new players after the first kick of the ball of a season. If that's what you think should happen then fair enough. It won't eliminate 'unfairness' however, as injuries and suspensions mean that every team will face restrictions upon who they can field during the course of a season.

I get the point you are making. I simply don't think it is a very good one and that the 'risk' you describe is so unrealistic that it isn't worth getting as agitated about as some posters seem to be.
