I think the key here is not what injury was done by Acton - but what injury COULD have already been done prior to what he did and how acton's actions could have impacted on that.
Two rugby players have lost their lives in the last 12 months to accidental head injuries. Imagine if he'd have done that in a similar situation. Imagine if Bird had, for instance, cracked a neck vertebrae in the previous collision - what Acton did COULD have had a massive impact as he had no way of knowing the extent of birds injuries before he did what he did. He's lucky it's just 9- and I reckon Leigh expected this given they spent all that time preparing.

If you insert the ' could ' word into RL with regards serious injury , you might as well outlaw the sport now , everybody walking onto a pitch knows he could get seriously injured , it's the ones who go onto the pitch happy to injure I worry about , and who we need to get rid of

Acton banned due to his very own stupidity and yet again missing a huge sizeable chunk of the middle 8's for the second year running.

He is available for Leigh selection less than Willie Tonga ! First game back from a previous suspension and quite frankly 11 visits to the RFL in 18 months is ridiculous. He was in the last chance saloon some time ago as far as I am concerned.

How often do we see Hill, Amor, Cuthbertson, Walmsley or Simms before the committee?

Time to off load the Pratt and make him someone else's problem.

Or someone else's international player, normally agree with you HRj but not just yet on this one

I'm with ColD on this one.

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.
