I would say this is probably the reason he has picked up quite a few head injuries in his short career with us. When he gets a knock he is surely entitled to stay down to recover, but I can't see any 'drama queen' in there at all. What specific actions leads you tho think he is acting up ?
I'm basically saying he fakes the severity of some of the shots he takes. He's won us a fair few penalties by staying down for an exceeding amount of time until the ref calls a halt. It gets looked at and we get a penalty, then Thewlis is back up and on with it, the other night being the exception where he clearly did need to come off. Just something I've noticed at points over the past couple years.
