diving - cheating or gamesmanship?

Quote:

SOUTH Sydney back-rower Glenn Stewart has admitted he took a dive to deny North Queensland a try during his team’s 30-12 NRL loss on Monday night. Stewart fell after colliding with Cowboys forward Ethan Lowe as Michael Morgan scooted over for a try on the stroke of halftime. Referee Adam Devcich referred the decision to the video referees who came back with a no-try verdict. Cowboys captain Johnathan Thurston expressed his extreme frustration towards the referee over the decision. Devcich said to Thurston both he and the video referees felt Stewart was unfairly obstructed by Lowe. But on Tuesday at a Rabbitohs’ recovery session, Stewart admitted to taking a dive to draw the obstruction ruling, describing it as “gamesmanship”. “To be honest I wasn’t going to get there (to tackle Morgan) so I tried something and it came off,” he said. “Everyone wants to win. I wasn’t going to get to the bloke so I had a crack and fortunately it went our way. “In a game you do everything you can to win and I just had a crack. http://ift.tt/1CJDXgF

the guy admits he couldn't affect the tackle so deliberately tries to milk a penalty..
