I can't see the schedule changing in the mean time, especially with the wealth of talented players and juniors coming through who are capable to replace the injured superstars and play a high quality game. But eventually, I believe they'll be forced to just because of employee welfare. Think of it as any workplace, if you're injured because of your job, it's against the law to be forced to keep working. Also, it's not about being 'suitable' to play pro sport, player's get injuries etc. which is out of their control. Also, I don't think harsher penalties will work because tackles will still involve numerous players and this is in itself a tactic to slow the game down which isn't classified as wrestling. Also, yes, players will still try and wrestle as it's impossible for a ref to analyse every single tackle and judge wether there is wrestling or not. Therefore the players and coaches will complain and refs won't be able to back their decisions consistently and they'll become lenient. [/QUOTE]
