I would suggest that sometimes having 6 on the bench is worse, coaches spend half their time worrying about rotating players throughout the game to give all boys a go, that effectively means 25% of the side rotated constantly, it can have the effect of unsettling sides, a player might have just had a good qtr full of confidence and then spends the next qtr on the bench, Most coaches would rather 20 or 21, often the boys they take off are more skilled than the boys they replace? 6 can be a disadvantage , it's rare that any side would get 6 or more injuries?They have 6 bench players each week, Hillside may have 2. By my thinking that's a significant advantage.
I would also think that makes them fresher come finals time.
But Hillside have created this problem, should've gone 2 teams only.
Depending on who they roster off, yes could be disadvantage.
