That'll be 2 games servered.Any resaon for why it's been put back?

www.rugby-league.com/article/505 ... ghts-cases "Jamie Acton (Leigh Centurions) following a request from Leigh Centurions, case will be heard next week in order for his Legal Representative to attend. The Chair accepted a request for an adjournment provided he did not play in any fixture prior to his case next week." To be honest, not sure what good it's doing us keep putting it off.

Possibly the Legal Representative is on holiday or otherwise engaged.

Lucky the RFL didn't just say the hearing would go ahead with or without whoever is representing him present.

I suppose from an image point of view,it takes the heat out of the situation for all concerned.

I personally think using delaying tactics won't help the cause. Acton must of been advised by legal team to buy time to gather more evidence I honestly think he will get 8 games

Well I reckon he may well get a reduction on that - possibly 4 or so.
Panel don't seem to be strong when challenged (Houston springs to mind), think we have slipped up (McNally) by not doing so previously- maybe we are trying a different tact now

Anything worth a try on this incident pal I know it was not as bad as it looked but the RFL will have to be seen taking no prisoners on this one. I hope he gets four we will need him in middle 8s

On last weeks review Panel there are Eighteen names with only one charge! Jamie
The 'offences' range from, Standing on an opponent! Late tackle! Use of Knees! Dangerous Contact! Tripping! Shoulder Charge! Striking with Elbow ....... and so ! all these charges have brought no action I wonder what the decisions would have been had Jamie commited them?

Trouble is, he has 'form', and that counts against him. (unlike some of the other SL players who continually get 'NFA' and therefore will never have 'form'! )

The ridiculous thing about Acton is that so many of his misdemeanours are for 'silly' offences, rather than outright violent ones!

I don't think the adjournments will do Leigh any favours no matter what the defence of his actions the RFL will look to throw the book at him and he will probably get 10 matches (less the two hes already missed) I remember Timmy once appealing a big ban and getting an extra game !

The RFL will have two objectives in mind when they finally hear his case

A) They take the welfare of players extremely seriously in a tough collision sport

B) It is the pratt Acton back before us again for the 10th time in 18 months, unable to learn any valuable lessons.
