I'm not saying he wouldn't pull something like that (he is a pest trapped in a heavyweight's body), but Horton absolutely hit him with enough force to knock him off his feet. I think even if he didn't fall the refs would have given a penalty to Horton for doing something that blatant. Sestito got right back up and into the scrum so I don't think he was that worried about Thornton coming for him either.
Anyways, if we are calling out perceived dives...after watching some of the hits that game, I think Kelly was guilty of a highly embellished Carcillo-esque head snap on that hit from Hartnell.
