I think the tacklers were unlucky to make a good tackle that caused damage then lucky to get off. If tacklers are in motion holding a bloke with his arms pinned, as good a tackle that may be, they are exposing themselves to trouble if the head hits the deck. This will be the way going forward.
That these two blokes got off on legal errors will only cause more confusion

Do you think it can be adjudicated that those tackles were "likely to cause injury"?
My concern with the bolded is that it shifts the contest massively towards the bloke with the ball. The only real way to shift it back is to give the bloke with the ball no time at all to try to break a tackle or get a disposal off. It'd be game changing and involve ridiculous amounts of umpire whistles.
