stuff going on where players are now getting, you know, just a little bit of a brush on the chin and they're laying down and they're grimacing and they're rolling around in pain and they're waiting for the referee to pick it up.
And we saw, I thought embarrassingly, in the Parramatta West Tigers game where they both got each other and got penalty goals out right at the end of the game with what was...
really incidental contact.
Yes, it was high.
And I've been an advocate for getting tackles down and penalties for high tackles and all that.
But if we're going to go down this road and we're going to start staging tackles and we're going to start laying down and we're going to challenge, which is even worse now that they're laying down and they're challenging on it, I think we're going to have to start bringing in some sort of guidelines, whether we look at intent, whether we look at whether there's momentum, those sorts of things.
Well, I think we're just going to have to make a decision because it's an embarrassing look for the game.
It really is.
The way – like there's players that are falling now into arms, literally into arms, and they're getting penalised for it, which I'm not comfortable with.
I don't like that about the game.
I understand why the rule is there.
But it's a bad look for the game.
But the bit now where players are actually –
taking advantage of that rule and laying down and calling challenges because they know that they just felt some sort of pressure on their face.
There's clearly some sort of contact.
And when you look at it on replay, basically it's a slight brush of the hand, but according to the rule, yes, it's a penalty.
Those sorts of things, I just wonder where we're going to go as a game.
And if this is allowed to continue...
Where do we end up?
You blame the players or you blame the game?
