Saw the incident, Jamie was well out of order - we don't need this in our team. The lad was in a bad way. If it was caught on video - bye Jamie for at least 6 matches possibly longer.

Any news on how Hemingway is, he was taken to Hospital (blue lighter)

Should never play another game for the club, whether he has a big contract or not. Tell him he can be the water carrier for the next two years or find another club. No way anyone can defend his record or give him yet another chance. A complete liability who could have cost us dear today, where it not for his team mates.

Re: Acton : Sun Jul 08, 2018 6:25 pm  

Like most people in the ground (including I suspect the officials)I didnt see the incident.
The lad didnt look well at all so hope he gets better soon.
I presume the official in the stand saw it so he'll be the one who will know if it was intentional or not (along with Jamie).

Forearm (left) to his head at full speed miles after he had kicked the ball - it looked pretty malicious to me

Great performance by the team - well done. I guess Mata'utia and Dawson are available for selection next week.

I must admit I didn't see what Acton did, however it could have cost us not only the game but put an end to our season.However it didn't, the boys played very well a man down for virtually all the game ,
laing up the slope in that heat , I thought they played very well, Hutchy, Ben R, and HH were the stand outs , but all put the effort in, back to Acton, time to go, we don't this liability.

Re: Acton : Sun Jul 08, 2018 8:28 pm  

The incident was in front of me. Hemingway kicked the ball to the corner. Acton was putting him under pressure, but followed through, after Hemingway kicked. He appeared to make minimal contact with the side of the Batley player's head, with what seemed like two or three fingers. I was surprised at the impact it had on Hemingway, so goodness knows where he caught him.

That said, he had no reason whatsoever to touch Hemingway, especially around the head - so he had to go. One thing I would question - the referee said he saw it, but I don't believe he did. He'd waved play on and was supervising the ptb in our corner, along with the touch judge.

I was at the game and it looked a terrible and cowardly late forearm at the bottom of the slope that put the Batley player into an ambulance and on to hospital.

If I can politely point out you do not get a red card if the officials do not see it. STOP DEFENDING THE INDEFENSIBLE

I hope he gets a very long ban and never pulls on our shirt again. He is not fit to wear it.

No doubt there will be a RFL anti Leigh/ anti Jamie conspiracy 16 page thread once he is rightly dealt with at Red Hall.

There must be a special prize for posting that nonsense.

.

Are you free Alan to accompany Acton to Red Hall next week?

Don't get pressed into explaining where fingers and hands are attached to though.
