Can't believe people are bagging Tallis, a player who led Australia with passion, unlike a hack like Danny Buderus.
Tallis has every right to speak his mind about an incident in the game which he doesn't agree with. Although it wasn't exactly PC, he could have said it in another way and people would've still gotten the same message. BK took a dive, no doubt about it.
Tallis has done Rugby League a favour here. Watch the AFL, every week players are reported to the judiciary for "striking" or tackles which are a bit suspect. It is a soft game, and what makes it even softer (and the reason why league is so good) is because it has players taking dives and holding their faces when the contact is with their shoulder, in order to put one over the ref and receive a penalty. A few examples have come up in recent weeks through the media about the whole 'taking a dive' or surrendering in tackles. It is something which needs to be wiped out of the game. Perhaps BK should work on his acting a little better, it was a nice dive, 10/10 from the springboard, however he didn't follow it up too well by playing on with 100% fitness once the penalty was awarded.
Perhaps he has given up on winning Dally M's, MOM and Premierships and decided Academy Awards are much more appealing.
