Gorden Tallis has called for players to be sent for a HIA when they are milking penalties after the Tigers’ 22-20 golden point win over the Eels was decided by two soft head high shots.

Moses was caught high falling to the ground allowing the Eels to take a 20-18 lead late in the match, before a short kick-off and a high shot on Sione Fainu saw Jock Madden send the game to golden point.

Tallis was adamant both tackles did not deserve a penalty.

“We’re lucky that the footy gods, they’re both as soft as each other,” Tallis said on NRL 360.

Braith Anasta added: “It was like magic Round for just for two minutes.”

Fox League’s Paul Crawley agreed both were penalties by the letter of the law, but feels it is a bad look for the sport to have big games decided like this.

“Unfortunately, in the modern game, that’s a penalty, but geez it’s a bad look for rugby league,” Crawley said.

“That’s not the game we love. This is not what you’d want to see decide a final or an Origin or any important game.

“But the referees are caught between a rock and a hard place because Moses is the one lying on the ground like he’s just been shot.

“And then you’ve got the one that was after it, which to me looked like a square up from the referee. It was worse.

“This is just where the game doesn’t want to go.

“It doesn’t have to be a reportable offence, but sometimes you’ve got to turn a blind eye to these things.”

The Daily Telegraph’s Dave Riccio agreed the NRL are playing with fire when it comes to penalising every knock to the head.

“This is running a very, very fine line between players laying down for the softest of knocks to the head, of which will turn the game into something that we don’t want,” Riccio said.

Anasta warned teams will get more captain’s challenges for any time a player gets any sort of contact on the head, so they can stay down and get a penalty.

“You’ll get more captain’s challenges just if you get a clip on the head, because you’ll win the challenge if there’s contact with the head, because that’s just what the rule is,” Anasta said.

“So that is a concern, but the NRL have said both are penalties. You can’t hit people in the head. Simple as that.”

However, Crawley warned the onus is on the players and the coaches to not encourage laying down tactics.

“But it’s not that simple,” Crawley said.

“The only people that can really fix this are the players, because by the referee’s rules, that is a penalty.

“If you don’t want the game to become like that, you’ve got to tell the players and tell your players to get up and play on.”

However, Tallis warned the only way to deter players from laying down is to send them to for a HIA if they get hit in the head.

“We called a game at Shark Park and one of the Warriors players went through for a try and he didn’t score it, so he laid there and milked it,” Tallis said.

“The referee sent him off for HIA. He was blowing up because he tried to milk it. That’s what they have got to do. If you lay down, you go off for 15 minutes because you’ve complained about it. It must have been that hard.”

Anasta added: “Imagine they sent Moses to the HIA after that.”
