Maroons assistant coach Nate Myles has “planted a seed” that an horrible by-product of the NRL crackdown could infect Origin I.

And speaking on NRL 360 on Tuesday night, Blues assistant Greg Alexander was asked if the Blues would be laying down, with the Panthers legend slamming the act.

Ikin said that he felt Myles was “planting a seed” as “the last bloke who would ever lay down at any level of the game was Nate Myles”.“It should be reverbarating through players past and present as well as coaches, no lay downs,” Moore said. “It’s a dog thing to do and it's the sort of thing that can corrupt the game when blokes start doing that.”Source:Getty Images“I hope all players don’t do it. I’d love them to get on with it.

“I’m one for just that rivalry of hatred. Going out there and showing that you want to win, having that passion, blowing off a bit of steam early, sorting each other out and then the football happens after about 20-30 minutes. “You can’t let that overcome you, you can’t just play on passion alone. But I tell you what, I’d be testing the waters. I wouldn’t be going out there and just dipping my toe in … it’s just headfirst in.”High tackles have been at the centre of the NRL’s attention in recent weeks.In reacting to the pledge news, rugby league great Phil Gould tweeted: “Does anyone else feel embarrassed for the game, and the players, over this extraordinary situation? What terrible headlines.

“I covered my first game in 1966. They didn’t go down then for any other reason other than they were hurt. In fact, it was a badge of honour not to go down.”
