No it's a silly idea that hasn't been thought through. What if they stay down rubbing their knee? You just incentivise another form of skullduggery. We shouldn't jump to an automatic assumption that players are faking: most of the time they are not.

If someone goes down with suspected head contact or concussion from a 'whiplash' type tackle, they should be off for 10 minutes' HIA straightaway. No 'how many fingers' and then skipping away to play the ball as soon as a penalty has been given. It's a safety issue. If they are fit and well, back they come after 10 minutes.
