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
