I started watching RL in the 60s.Teams then had 30 league games,challenge cup ties,county cup matches and then the flloodlit cup and John Player cup were introduced.
My team Salford would play Blackpool on Good Friday,Swinton on the Saturday and then Wigan on Easter Monday.These players were part-timers,and all had other jobs.
Whilst I realise we cannot go back to those days and that the game has got faster and probably more intense I do believe that certain players don't realise how lucky they are.
It seems to me that the more professional they become,the less they want to play.Cricketers are another group that spring to mind who want to have their cake and eat it.As others have said,if you want to play less,then take a cut in salary.

Agree with Mild Rover that the number of games each player plays in should be limited.
That would ensure clubs developed their youth system fully so the younger players coming in would be of the right calibre.
If the number of games for each player was limited clubs could play more games!

In theory, if player burnout is a major issue, then the international players could perhaps be limited to 20 games per season with the RFL (that is if they ever started crapping money) compensating the clubs with the wages of the players when they are unavailable because of such a limit.

This would ensure the best players are ‘protected’ from playing too many games without taking a pay cut and the youngsters waiting to take the places of the top players get their chance. It also removes the possibility of smaller clubs saving their best players for when the play each other and then resting players when they play Leeds which a blanket 20 game limit wouldn’t.

But this is only in theory, I’ve no idea whether this would ever be viable.

If He cant handle the demand of the modern day player why doesn't he just retire

Or ask for his contract to be renegotiated and go part-time.

To be honest.
I'd like to see two more subs added to the bench.
It would mean less game time for certain players who are being run into the ground, we all know who they are but I'd like to see a requirement that two must be under 21/3/whatever
