Always going to happen when the reward is the opposition losing a player for a minimum of 10 minutes. It's blighted football so much so I have little interest in watching grown men role around on the floor pretending to be injured. Sadly it had crept into RL and not just recently.

The only hope I have is that it could easily happen the other way so coaches have an amnesty where they agree to cut it out.

Thank Mr Fozzard and Mr Goulding for this.

Just as bad as the arm flapping at the play the ball to get a penalty.

Although I don’t like it.

I would much rather this than the alternative that was planned with tackles below the armpit/chest.

Be careful what you wish for and criticise. It would be much worse.

People have to understand that the game has to and has changed.

This has allowed some teams and players to exploit it to some degree.

I thought that was what the green cards were for but the players were able to carry on after rolling on the ground
