I was trying to think of any RL players who try the gamesmanship tactic and could only really tar Danny McGuire with that brush.



Regarding Chelsea; I did think they were stitched up to ensure there wasn't an all English final again but they had sufficient play and chances to get a better cushion than 1 goal.

In the 1st leg Tierry Henry was disgracefull! He pretended to be unconcious and actually allowed someone to put him in the recovery position and check his airways! That's Football!

TV commentators once said that Stuart Fielden gains more penalties for his side than any other player in super league, always at the ptb, always falling over and usually on the 5th tackle

Remember Dave March taking a dive at Salford making out he had been headbutted at the play the ball sky replays showed he wasn't even touched. It happens in all sports and is sadly tolerated in most sports which is why you get reactions like those of the chelsea players.

Lets not kid ourselves how many players take a fall at the play the ball looking for a penalty?
