He's been a marked man all season by all the old pros at every club we've played. They know he is a hot head who came late to the game and can not control his discipline. They know which buttons to press and are winding him up all game. Bird was in his ear throughout winding him up and yet again it worked.

He's had more than enough chances, time to say goodbye.

The point being most of the time he's not bitten, stupid trip against the pies, and the bird incident

I've seen him being elbowed in the tackle and all sorts and he's just smiled at em, worth sticking with for me - Just

The £300 fine is a standard set for all SL players, it's essentially a fine to cover the administration costs and has no bearing on the severity of the offence

Can't defend it!

Supported Acton until "The Trip" - it really showed the malevolent chip in his character.

Every tackle has the potential for injury

Just look how hard those evil Huddersfield players were tackling our poor boys on Friday!

Nope,and niether should the Club..Goodnight Jamie.

No surprise based on his disciplinary record with the RFL(on that can anyone remember a bad Acton tackle - anyone able to put down what he's been banned for this season as I can't remember anything where he has broke a nose, knocked teeth out or concussed players - yet he has seen his team mates recieve these injuries with no bans for those that caused it...).
RE: 'What if' scenarios, if we are going down that road then expect a lot of 'ambulance chasing' lawyers to be involved when players retire as in essence the sport will find it hard to define 99% of the actions on a sports field as not having potential to cause injury(accidental or otherwise).

Who was on the disciplinary tonight?

Absolutely the game is tough enough- and yes any player Could potentially be injured- so why would any player grab another who had appeared to sustain a head injury in that manner - But Greg bird was "sparked out" on the floor as far as Acton was concerned. Watching on tv it appeared that way to me.
What ifs is exactly what should be looked at - the welfare of players should be absolutely paramount- yes they are paid- bu they do it for entertainment!

This.

The Watcher believes that the club must fine Acton the maximum amount they can.

Inked in as sub. for million pound game?

While you are obviously quite correct on your potential for further injury comments, I have to contest the "sparked out" remark !

IMHO Bird was never "sparked out", he was moving, he had both arms in the air & it is a widely held rumour that Bird told Acton to F.O while prostrate on the floor !
Furthermore, if Bird was "sparked out" from a head injury/concussion, why did he return to be influential & play better than he had pre 'injury' & why exactly was he allowed to return. I feel that the answer may be that he was 'NEVER' injured & was trying to deflect from his late hit on our kicker & 6 Ben Reynolds who was indeed 'actually injured.

There can be no denying that Acton deserved a ban, however how does Actons 9 SL match ban possibly compare to the 10 match ban served by Ben Flower for the outrageous & callous attack on Lance Hohaia who suffered very 'real' injury as a result ?

I dont think that many Leigh fans would be too aggrieved to see Acton receive 6 or 7 matches but 9 compared to Flowers 10 + 1 WCC is to be quite frank, ludicrous.
