As for the idea that we've not had any serious injuries, I'd say that was untrue. I don't want to harp on about it but it's why I wear a face-cage now, I could have been blind in one eye. That wasn't down to a foul being comitted on me but rather I was doing something pretty stupid - reaching over a mount to make a block, whether that's a foul or not is still debatable. I did moan about high-sticking for a while after that but after playing in the tourney I now see that hitting the ball hard means the stick comes high.
Hooking someone as they pass you when the ball is already gone is a foul imo. Pulling someone back with the elbow/arm on their control side is a foul imo.
Rulez is made to make the game fair and competitive innit......
