It's mandated now with the bye, do away with the bye rounds and let the clubs decide. I just like the idea.
It could be tweaked. eg.
1st-2nd year players- 3 games off.
3rd-6th year players- 2 games off.
The rest- no mandated games off.

The most important thing is for clubs to have the right staff onhand. And my understanding is any psychologist/ psychiatrist payment comes under the soft cap. The most basic change would be to have unlimited spend on player welfare. Cos old school thinking will be we don't need to waste the soft cap on a problem we don't have / can't see
So long as the psychologist isn't out taking kicking drills, there wouldn't really be a huge advantage to having 20 psychologists on staff, you only need as much as is getting used. Therefore it wont be abused & it should be fairly easy to monitor. So i dont see how anyone can have an issue with it.
