Do you think this could happen to a player at a Professional/semi pro level if such a tackle was proven to be a deliberate act?

If similar events happened, including the witness testimony that the player said he "did this because of you", or something similar was verified, then yes... the level at which the game is played is irrelevant.

I think top premiership players would get away with it.
