Surprised Maloney didnt do that to be honest. He's usually a crafty bastard like that.
I dont think his head was fully in that game. Normally he's much more aware of those tiny things.
I see it more as a cultural thing. Flanagan coaches those tactics into his team. Gallen with the drop balls in the ruck getting called as a strip, Fifita crowding the play the ball and so on. We’ve never been one to play for penalties.
It’s a stupid thing to have to do (to dive) but if you do it then the referee usually has no choice.
Sucks but rules are there for bending
