I personally enjoy the rougher polo games, its all good fun. I have no issue with chicken winging or hooking. In my opinion if a player uses those tatics its fair game, we will probably soon develop methods of avoiding them anyway.
In terms of safety Brighton polo has been going for a while now and although theres been a couple of scrapes no-one has had any serious injuries, especially not from inappropriate or dangerous play. I think thats a credit to everyon, I certainly never feel unsafe or threatened on court.
Maybe I'm more relaxed about the rules, i'm not so driven to win as others players. I play for the enjoyment and don't care the score which i think is why i dont mind how people play. I dont think anyone is being intentionally agressive or unsporting.
