Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3279894, member: 1769"] There will be some movement on this now the Broncos game is over ... especially now that Robinson has had a whinge about it. either it will end ... or some stupid rule that has no chance of working will be introduced to combat diving. [B]Robinson says:[/B] “The issue I have is a head high [on Manu] that would have been sent to the bin two weeks ago, but we don’t want our players to lie down. Then the commentating around it from referees is ‘they have stood up [so] I am OK with that’,” Robinson fired. “Players aren’t going to lie down. They are going to get up and get on with it. They are going to jump up, for the most part. “That was a silly challenge from Benny, and he got 10 minutes in the bin, but the one on Joey Manu … the NRL has put it back on this gamesmanship or the gentlemen’s agreement. I can’t believe I heard that [from the referee] out there.” Robinson said the placement of Liu on report was “ridiculous”. “How do they put that on report? Come on,” he said. “It looks like they have a bit to work out. It has been calibrated a bit but we are still not seeing the way that we want to play the game. “They basically want players to lie down and grab their neck to put [the defender] on report or to the bin. “If the difference is their communication that ‘they got up’ or ‘[they] stayed down’ then they are saying to our players to lie down. That is unacceptable from our game.” [/QUOTE]
