Jamie Acton was suspended for 7 matches at todays disciplinary hearing.

Defended him for the last couple of years - but enoughs enough for me. Difficult to see the club continuing to put up with this, but on a long contract so let's see what happens next

Can we please ship this Gentleman out of our club.

14 times he has now been before the RFL judiciary whilst a Leigh RLFC player. Tonight he has just pleaded guilty to an intentional strike with an elbow on the Batley half back.

Just think about that. An intentional strike with an elbow.

He is representing our great club and he is nothing short of an utter disgrace to it.

He does not possess any of the qualities, fitting of someone required to wear a Leigh Rugby League Club shirt.

Agree Harold

If Jamie is on long contract at the Club, as he isn't going to play for a while,get him training on his own ,very early I the morning, doing plenty of Community work,and helping the Groundsman,he doesn't seem to like being on the pitch.

Wouldn't want to be the groundsman then!

What about the Ticket Office?

Community work don’t want young kids taking him as a roll model he a nuisance and a liability

Way to go Jamie

Hmmm

2016 - June - 7 game ban then an apology

2017 - July - 9 game ban then 6 months on appeal, then an apology

2018 - July - 7 game ban - wonder what will be comming next?

Bit of a pattern developing here.

7 games for 'leading with the elbow' what a joke.

Leading with the elbow is when you've got the ball I would think, not intentionally aiming for someone's head just after the opponent has released the ball - you cannot seriously condone what he did

I think he meant it should have been more !

Unnecessary habitual attack to opponent’s head would cover it.

anybody else would have got a 4 game ban. who's 'condoning' what he did Colin ?

That ban gives him an average of 8 games per season suspended since 2015.

For a player who has worked hard on his discipline, the average says different.

Hes a Super Legaue player on his day, but his disipline is terrible! Hes good for this league, but if we ever make it to Super League again (big IF), then he needs shipping out.

Keep taking the Iron Jelloids, Mooky.

How many others have the record he has ?? If it was a one off you may have a point Bradders - but it's not is it. If he'd have got another 6 months we couldn't have complained IMO

The biggest problem Jamie has is that he is easily wound up by the opposition (I'm not saying that it happened in this case). Every game you see the opposition target him and get in his head. Brett Ferres wound him up a treat when we played Leeds and he bit. Unfortunately until he can learn to just laugh it off, he will keep getting suspensions.

Can we afford to keep backing him in the hope that one day he will become a world beater?

No, because it will never happen.

Thats 23 games over 3 years sat on the sidelines, thats a whole regular season before the split. A liability is an understatement.

At least the ladies love him

Think that's says it all really. Whether you think he is hard done by at the discipline end or not, whether you rate him or not.
Bottom line, 3 years in a row he's not been available when the team needs him most.

I agree.

It should have been considerably more, late and off the ball. However The panel showed some leniency with Mr Acton and included the Batley game as one match as it was very early. Otherwise it would have been the full 8 games.

Is he still at our club? I hope not.

Still there for now with 3 years still to run we could with someone coming in to sign him than pay him off
