Anasta warned teams will get more captain\u2019s challenges for any time a player gets any sort of contact on the head, so they can stay down and get a penalty. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll get more captain\u2019s challenges just if you get a clip on the head, because you\u2019ll win the challenge if there\u2019s contact with the head, because that\u2019s just what the rule is,\u201d Anasta said. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo that is a concern, but the NRL have said both are penalties. You can\u2019t hit people in the head. Simple as that.\u201d <\/p>\n
However, Crawley warned the onus is on the players and the coaches to not encourage laying down tactics. <\/p>\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s not that simple,\u201d Crawley said. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe only people that can really fix this are the players, because by the referee\u2019s rules, that is a penalty. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t want the game to become like that, you\u2019ve got to tell the players and tell your players to get up and play on.\u201d <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe called a game at Shark Park and one of the Warriors players went through for a try and he didn\u2019t score it, so he laid there and milked it,\u201d Tallis said. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe referee sent him off for HIA. He was blowing up because he tried to milk it. That\u2019s what they have got to do. If you lay down, you go off for 15 minutes because you\u2019ve complained about it. It must have been that hard.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anasta added: \u201cImagine they sent Moses to the HIA after that.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gorden Tallis has called for players to be sent for a HIA when they are milking penalties after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":592232,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,289124,17343,52527,278376,763,37304,65196,289125,21384,4746,22326,761,762,158,11396,159,289126,289123,85,289127,4515],"class_list":{"0":"post-592231","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nrl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-competition-records","11":"tag-daily-telegraph","12":"tag-dave-riccio","13":"tag-footy-gods","14":"tag-fox-league","15":"tag-golden-point","16":"tag-golden-point-loss","17":"tag-halves-swap","18":"tag-jock-madden","19":"tag-mark-st-john","20":"tag-mitchell-moses","21":"tag-national-rugby-league","22":"tag-nationalrugbyleague","23":"tag-nrl","24":"tag-paul-crawley","25":"tag-rugby-league","26":"tag-soft-head","27":"tag-soft-penalty","28":"tag-sports","29":"tag-warning-letter","30":"tag-wests-tigers"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=592231"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592231\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/592232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=592231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=592231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=592231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
