The way I saw it was that Fifita just wouldn't go down and wrapped his arm over Acton's head. Acton appeared to use said arm (what was it doing around his head?!) to effect the tackle.

Based on last week's Disciplinary quote of the week, when the high tackle on Higson, was due to the player (AJ) "changing direction", Acton should be ok, as this incident was definitely down to Fifita refusing to go down in the tackle!

That is very unsporting of him.

Patterson will not be back.

Yup just how I saw it , Fifita wrapped his arm around Jamie's head , they fell over , Fifita lies stretched out with arm , then jumps up and walks off smiling

I struggle to believe any player feigns injury, but a lot of Trinity players (and Catalans when they were at ours) appeared to get injured when we were putting pressure on their line. Another excellent, apparently legitimate, slowing down tactic is lying behind the play the ball - creating havoc for the dummy half.

I noticed this as well. How many times did we make a great break, and got close to the Wakefield line, only to be stopped from playing the ball quickly and subsequently losing all momentum due to a Wakefield player suddenly being injured in back play. This must have happened at least 4 times. We must get smart and use this tactic at the other end.

That should be penalised every time.

Wasn't there a recent rule change that helps the offending player cheat in this way?

Agreed, but it rarely is. Granted, there are times when the 'offending' player may not be able to roll away, but to just lie there, clearly impeding/delaying the dummy half is 100% unacceptable. I'm sure we could get the tactic outlawed, if we try to use it!
