| Quote: Alffi_7 "I must be watching a different replay, I didn't think the challenge from Bird was late, or high. He went to hit the man as he was kicking the ball, launched himself before the ball was kicked, but hit him after - that's not late. Reynolds ended up with a bloody nose from a clash of heads - it happens in a sport like RL.'"
Completely agree, nothing in the Bird challenge for me.

| Birds tackle wasn't late , it wasn't high , well not in the normal sense , but it did result in him basically head butting the opposition player , so is it something he did deliberately , or just an accident
Bearing in mind this is Greg Bird we are talking about , if he did it against your team , you'd be screaming for him to be red carded , the blokes a scumbag , he certainly appeared to attempt ' something ' on Crooks leg/ankle , and most certainly punched Matty Fleming as third man in with 5 minutes to go
Maybe Sam Moa should have been cited for definitely taking out Reynolds with a high/late shot in the build up to Tickles try

This has to be the most comical response I've seen. Greg Bird deliberately headbutting an opponent. You really can't make this up

Remember the Ganson penalty against Con Mika a few years back for an accidnetal head clash in which Ganson penalised Mika for leading with his head?
Even as an FC fan i thought that was a shocking decision and his (Ganson's) threat to take it further was disgusting, so basically he was going to penalise Mika more severely for an incident that didn't even warrant a penalty anyway. THIS is partly why the refs are so useless with him in charge IMHO.

Oh dear, you're making yourself look silly trying to defend it and put some blame on Bird, if it wasn't high or late like you've admitted then surely it was an accident or 'just one of those things'?
Basically you want someone penalised for not doing anything wrong ??
Any team that has someone like Jamie Acton in it needs to accept that bans and acts of thuggery etc are part and parcel of having him there.

I can beat that. Giants v Leeds on 9th September 2012. Ref was Thierry Alibert
Luke O'Donnell was red carded for 'an elbow' on Ian Kirke in the 15th minute. This was after a 10minute stop in play where O'Donnell was subbed off and then brought back on the field to be carded. The match review panel acknowledged it was actually an accidental clash of heads.

| Fooking Hell seen it all now, Acton has international potential and doesn't deserve more than three games. Taking delusion beyond Jean's quest for French RL global domination.

Huddersfield Angels...
Just because the last 2 times we have played you, we have won very easily. GET OVER IT. Who cares if Acton get's 8 games, we have about 15 forwards in our squad, won't affect us that much.

Wow, talk about a dummy spit !!
According to your board this fella's international class and will be missed
And who cares? - well maybe your coaching staff and management team, the other players who will probably feel let down by him - again.
Sponsors of the player and the club
Other fans of the club ??
But hey you're obviously so good you can afford to lose what a lot of your fans seem to consider your best forward for another lengthy period.
And yes you did beat us last 2 times but 'who cares', your bottom of the league and look like going straight back down and we're battling for top 8 so i think it's safe to say i'm over it !!
