League subs.

Both Brian and Matt started the league as team members and therefore were unable to sub for other teams. If they have now quit from their respective teams then they shouldn't technically be allowed to sub for other teams. The rule was in place at the beginning of the season to allow non league players the chance to get involoved with league games, if league players now start quitting teams and becoming subs then we've pissed all over the original point.

That's one interpretation/point of the rule. The other, arguably more important, is to ensure evenness among the (seriously-contending) teams, so that if one (excellent player) is on a team, that person should not be able to sub for other teams, thereby stacking the odds against challenging teams, etc. If a really good non-player subs sometimes for different teams, that is one thing, but having a really good league player sub for a rival team against a (most likely more feared) rival team is a whole other ballgame.

These dudes are no longer on a team, therefore, they should be viable subs.

Lockett should definitely come out of retirement.
