I think the problem with the maul as it is now is that all the responsibility for keeping it up is on the defensive team, and the offensive team is very rarely policed when setting it up from a lineout to see how much they obstructed, left the lineout early to form the wedge, passed the ball back rather than swimming the ball carrier etc.
