I don't remember when the high stick rule came into force, but the two injuries I think of were both before it I think?
(Dude at Barcelona euro's and otters at Halloween?)
But it's a very small population, with a low serious injury rate so statistically insignificant.Maybe it's because I turned up at downham one time to see an ambulance that I don't think of it as an imposition?

lolz @EMM
it is illegal, refs just don't know to look for it yet but i think the word is spreading
hooking is tight and an alternative to playing the body at times
Playing the body can make for ugly polo
If people wanted to make polo as pretty as possible then get rid of hooking and physicality and all your left with are sweet passes and tight goals
As far as the high stick rule goes, it's in place for safety right, but how effective is it? I mean, who actually knows if injuries have decreased since the rule was implemented (whenever that may have been, idk). Most of the time when a high stick penalty is called nobody is harmed and it seems like a bullshit turnover. That is my opinion as a spectator.
