when bird attempts to tackle reynolds the ball has already been kicked,so it must be a late challenge,accidental or not.bird was making the challenge so was at fault for the injury to reynolds face,which would suggest that it was also high.everyone is ranting about what could have happened if he had a head injury,or concussion.but it turns out that he did not have either or he could not have retuned to the pitch.so acton is being charged with what could have happened,not what did happen.would this charge stick in a real court.i dont know,i am not a legal expert,but there are a lot who think they are on the social media at the moment.personally i like the way he plays the game,but he keeps letting himself and his team down with his lack of discipline.

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.
