Its easy to solve. I commented in the other thread.
Refs should only be allowed a few seconds in which to decide a tackle is a penalty or not. If they dont blow the whistle, no penalty.
If a player rolls around on the floor putting on an oscar winning performance for a tiny touch, it will be play on.
If a player is knocked out and upon review it seems as though it is the most blatant high tackle in the world and the player is unconscious, too bad. Ref didnt blow penalty, so play on. Maybe put the player on report and sack the ref next week, but no penalty should be allowed.
This will do two things...
1) When its a 50/50 chance of being a penalty, it will stop merkins lying down faking injury as they know there is no injury
2) It will make the refs more accountable to high tackles they miss.
Simple.
