And Ridyard, Higson, Hood, Hopkins, Drinkwater, etc without risks no player gets to debut then you eventually run out of players. Wire had no props but played Bailey before Harrison in the GF, and I don't think Bailey would add anything.

Huge mistake to let Acton go! I cant believe our fans keep harping on about his discipline :x His punnishment's dont fit his crimes why? I dont the answer to that youd have to ask the RFL!
Until that debacle at Swinton he had been in outstanding form for us, sadly, he joined in with the rest of the players in the 'brawl' :(
Whilst not being pennalised on the field, he received a subsequent suspension for two offences amounting to seven games! Hock was dismissed from the field for his part and only received a three match ban!
The one that really got me was the one in the Salford game, he pushed a player in the back and got four games!! Again he wasnt punnished or spoken to by the officials during the game :o He appears to be looking at the play beyond Flanigan when he pushes him? A similar and more diliberate push was made by HKRs Campese(in the Million Pound Game) on the Salford fullback whilst chasing a kick! Campese was penalised on field for his offence!!
When see other players commiting worse acts than Jaimie, it does make you wonder how the punnishments are arrived at?
Had Jaimie done what Soward did on Gregg Worthington or, what Jones Buchanan did on the same player at Leeds what would Jaimie have got then?
Brett Ferris would never play if he was a Leigh player and yet, he is an International player!
I for one hope releasing Jaimie is a silly rumour, at twenty four he will grow up and be force in Rugtby league, hopfully, at Leigh!

Could the same not be said about McNally, to prove yourself in Super league someone has to give you the opportunity


McNally had a SL debut with the Giants.Hood with Leeds,Drinkwater was with London.Sam Hopkins didn't make first team at Wigan along with Ridy,AJ,Reynolds and Acton are starting SL debutants.That's five players who all have cover.There's only one loose cannon,can we afford to take that risk?

Sure, he's a risk and that element to his play has to be removed - somehow. However, I'd wager he is one of the fittest, and strongest members of our squad. He has pace, size and youth on his side. Personally, I think he is well worth the risk - again! OK, he's unproven at SL level - but I reckon he's worth a shot and may pleasantly surprise us.

As for the past, well he's undoubtedly his own worst enemy - yet some of his punishments have seemed a tad extreme, for the 'crimes'.

Re: Bucking Broncos want Acton : Thu Nov 17, 2016 11:16 am  
I am happy to see him depart and I agree with Snowy I do not think he is good enough for SL level.

I also appreciate others still see potential in him but on top of a question mark over ability I do not think he could cope with the pressure that the extra scrutiny of Super League would place him under.

However I am not totally against keeping hold of him and placing him on a season long loan deal back to a Championship team where we can monitor his performance under another 12 months of maturity and development.

I do fear this is his very last chance of a career with Leigh RLFC at the very top level.

Of course this is all just my opinion, posted in the best intentions of spirit. In case someone quotes legal action at me again for a post on here (!)

Re: Bucking Broncos want Acton : Thu Nov 17, 2016 11:34 am  
Totally agree with Kirkhall and Alan.

I am not pretending Jamie was innocent of any of his misdemeaners but his suspensions have been totally inconsistent compared to similar offences committed by others. (Nothing new there then.)

I reckon that with the ongoing help of our coaching team and Jamie's determination to improve his self control, he will deliver big time. In my view he is a top player in the making and to let him go now would be a very poor decision. His performances were outstanding prior to the last two suspensions and there is much more to come.

I want to see Jamie remain at Leigh and see his current contract through to Nov '18 - in my opinion it would be folly to give up on him now and label him a liability who needs to be moved on.

Yes and fair enough, as long as he has not already exhausted the patience of the coaching team that is.
