Some interesting comments from Derek Beaumont on twitter regarding the incident as well. And by interesting, I mean embarrassing and unprofessional.'"
Agreed. Acton deserves what he will get, for a stupid action.
As a Leyther, I am puzzled by the threatened severity of the punishments for 'punching' - three grade B's and a grade C, for what was a very minor skirmish, that finished almost as soon as it had started.
I also note that Myler has been cited for his SEVENTH tripping offence in the past three seasons, and will most likely get 'NFA' or another warning letter for it, just like all the others.
I am totally at a loss to understand how Bird has not been cited for the late, high challenge on Reynolds, - an action that prompted Acton's unforgivable deed. At best, Bird's challenge was reckless, especially as the Leigh player received a nasty facial injury, that required several minutes of treatment.
