| Quote: JENKY "How can Bird get off scot free for the incident that started this?
At best a totally reckless challenge, at worst a calculated attempt to take out Leigh's playmaker.'"
That's how I saw it Jenky. The fact is that Reynolds picked up a facial injury (he had plugs up his nose for a long time after) and I can't see how that can legitimately happen, to someone who has already kicked the ball. Even if the challenge was 'accidental' it was certainly reckless and didn't just have the potential for injury - the recipient of the challenge WAS injured and received treatment for some considerable time afterwards. Bird also did not want to leave the pitch.
That said, I believe Acton deserves what is coming to him. What he did was highly dangerous - he couldn't possibly have known whether Bird was injured or not.

Well as I see it the lower end of that scale is 8, seems harsh to me, I actually thought little of it at the time - but in the cold light of day you can see why he is being hung for it.
And it's hardly even pleading not guilty because it's there on camera, so unless he claims he was trying to wake him up he's done I'm afraid
Although this is the RFL so who knows.

Could argue that he was about to give him the kiss of life! Anything can happen after the ridiculous Tony Gigot two finger/three finger debacle last week!

| He is lucky that Greg Bird didn't actually have a serious neck injury as that would have been a sine die incident. It's indefensible. What kind of example is that to kids? I love what he does when he is on the pitch, but time to get rid, how many chances does the guy need? We also don't need Derek trying to make light of something like this.

| Yes Acton did it in the 'heat of the moment' but it was reckless/stupid. Physically didn't do that much, lifted his head up 12 inches, and shoved him back down. BUT Greg Budgie could have suffered a very serious injury in the 'collision ?' with Ben Reynolds.

The incident has even made it into the Aussie press.At least now he wont be getting sent off in the play off games.What was his disciplinary record like before he came to Leigh ?

He's no good - the lad is huge but couldn't bust through a wet paper bag. He was crap at Wigan, he was crap here, and christ knows why Saints then signed him. Predictably, he was crap there as well.
He's now where he belongs, in NL1.[/quote]:White Backgrounds/Gonzo the Great.gif |

| Acton will get the book thrown at him due to him being a repeat offender. I like the player he been the player of season in my opinion but the dicipline lets him down there no excuse for what he did he will just have to sit back and take what's thrown at him he will be a big loss in the 8s though.

| Yes Jamie shouldn't have touched Bird , but he did , no doubt unhappy at what most likely was a deliberate attack on a team mate by the biggest sh*thouse in SL , later in the match he looked to be twisting Crooks leg which resulted in the sin binning and punched Fleming as third man into the tackle
But it seems the pitchforks are out en masse for Jamie , and indeed for us from the wider RL fans fraternity
Yes it's frustrating to probably lose him again most likely for the season , but I'd still want to keep him , overal his discipline has improved apart from some silly stuff , he kept his head when the scuffle broke out and when he seemed to be targeted as the Cats celebrated a try
