Jamie Acton : Tue Sep 19, 2017 3:11 pm  

Ive been watching a few of Catalans games on catchup and I reckon that if Jamie played for them, he wouldn't have been banned for. Some of his incidents as Cats get away with high shots, flopping, leading with the forearm constantly lying on.and as we all know, when play goes against them stopping the game with false head injuries, which the officials don't pick up on

Acton doesn't really do too much of that stuff, it's off the ball nonsense that he gets himself into bother with.

Decision to appeal the ban is biting now, could've done with him Friday, if for no other reason, to give someone a rest ahead of mpg.

Blah blah blah, it is what it is, the guys reputation does him no favours. Do I think he was hard done to, probably, but there is no point bleating on about it, it's not going to change the RFLs mind.

As for false head injuries, as frustrating as it I wouldn't like to be the ref who calls it wrong

Maybe but at the LSV everytime we went forward and broke their line , one of them went down holding the head refs should be wise to it and at least give a verbal warning. My original point was that the Catalan players seem to have a free reign on foul play. One example being Richie Mylers tripping, was it seven warnings at the last count ?

In the first half v hull kr they did loads of head hunting and got away with most of it
