This is such a slippery slope that could kill sport as we know it. The RFL has no money to pay for this. How far do you go?

It seems MMA is not immune to brain damage arising as consequence of participation.

I really don't think the occasional high tackle in RL is anywhere near the impact of these sports where the most lauded method of winning is to incapacitate your opponent through loss of consciousness brought about through head/brain trauma. A sport which celebrates kicks, punches, and elbows to the head.

It's not just high tackle causing the impact infant the majority of the damage will be caused from high impact collisions making the brain basically rock around the skull.

Fair enough, I am no expert on these matters. It does seem clear that there is a wide disparity between sporting bodies and their policy on the risks of brain trauma.

High impact collisions are the heart and soul of Rugby League and other contact sports so I don't know where this is going.

Limiting contact training sessions clamping down hard on late or high challenges would be a start to it. It's not about cutting out the impacts altogether but to cut out unnecessary ones.

If you watch a rugby union game they do appear to have almost got rid of high shots ... not totally of course.
League has always been tougher, with far more high tackles. Our game will find it quite a challenge.
