When I heard about the new crack-down I thought I posted something along the lines of "Well...Teddy will fall into a tackle and get an opposition player sent to the bin." Can't find it however, so maybe I dreamt it (which is even more worrying, quite frankly).
But yes.. the guy drops to his knees just before he gets tackled but apparently some of the ex-playing experts in commentary just don't see it. He'll lose his head one day and finish his career like his captain, Cordner. And I'm fine with that.
It's terrible, and the guys running the game who claim to be smarter than everyone else (though all one does is ring his childhood mate, uncle nick, for advice) should have seen that loophole a coming.
But the nrl will do one of two things: Try to fix it (but they have as much success as the introduction of cane toads to deal with those pesky bugs) or,
simply say of you don't want the loophole exploited, don't hit high.
