Quote: RL13 "Thanks for the reply. Very enlightening.
Makes a 30+ game season for RL seem gruelling in comparison then!
Though I wonder what can be tweaked towards making RL "less collision based" to a sport with more playability and emphasis on ball handling[1]. If that's the consensus of opinion.'"
A maximum of two defenders involved in the tackle (with an exception for a defending side's in-goal area). With only two men involved, the tackle area should clear more quickly and the tackled player will have a better opportunity to regain his feet and play the ball at pace.
Would also stop players coming in third man and looking to chop the legs out from underneath the ball carrier. If a defender wants to take the legs, then he can only have one team-mate up top to secure the ball which gives players more opportunity to offload.
