Jamie needs to Learn and he could have done with decent coaching and discipline.

All teams have an 'Enforcer' in their ranks but most play the game hard, fair and with a bit of Sledging / Niggle. Jamie has yet to Master this and he has alot to Learn.

To be honest, Its probably a good thing he isnt playing again this season. We cannot afford to lose players in vital games because all seven matches can be definitely won and lost !!

But we don't lose him in games, its this bl@@dy Review Panel that nails him
I'm sick of watching Ashton Sims every match he's brawling with opponents and, he never gets long bans etc...
Interesting watching Bird on Saturday against Cas, he was flattened from behind and went face down with his Arms stretched out , he quickly 'came round' though, he must have thought I cant pull that one again

I know what you are saying and i agree with you.

Some players take it to the limit without taking it further. I would gladly pay double to watch Ashton Sims get snotted.

Peacock took the biscuit, but no one can disagree that he was one hard barsteward. Again, sledged to high heaven but always kept under the radar !!

Bring back Tony Cottrell for the Catalans and Wire games. he would love it !

Re: Jamie Acton : Mon Jul 24, 2017 10:35 am  

His knock on with 90 seconds to go at Catalans ultimately cost us 10th place and an extra home game. Another example of him just not doing playing particularly smart. Like against Wigan, he could've just held the player back rather than tripping him. Wouldn't have been banned for that. As for Bird, may as well have waited for him to get up, then chinned him.

He's still got plenty to learn, but I don't think its a coincidence that we looked more composed, less erratic without him or Higson in the side. Albeit in a game with less intensity about it than what I would expect is coming

The ball was kneed out of his hands against catalan

Correct Gene it was.

Re: Jamie Acton : Mon Jul 24, 2017 2:16 pm  

Point was there was no need to be striving so much for a quick play the ball with 90 seconds left on the clock and a 2 point lead.

Re: Jamie Acton : Mon Jul 24, 2017 3:53 pm

Where did I say I wanted him to feign injury? There's a difference between lying down and faking injury and getting up with both hands on the ball after the tackler has cleared the ruck.
