whatever got into his head going and lifting Birds head.Cant see him playing again this season after disciplinary see his latest bit of stupidity

Wouldn't go that far, but dangerous and a complete brain fart moment - silly lad once again

The RFL will look at his actions as putting another players health at risk and quite rightly make an example of him. I hope he is getting fined by the club for every game he misses through suspension. He's spent more time on the sidelines than he has on the pitch this season, through his own stupidity. I would go as far as saying he is one of the reasons we find ourselves bottom of the league, his unavailability and the penalties he has given away when he has played has cost us big time.

I think the only thing hes stopped doing is patting players on the head.Got all the things needed to be a top class forward ,but he is a liability we cannot afford with a small squad

I didn't actually see the run up to this incident but what was he thinking? That lad could have had a neck injury and he had no right lifting him like that. I hope he's banned for the rest of the season. Silly, silly boy.

I suspect he was thinking that Bird's challenge on Reynolds was reckless. But his action was absolutely stupid and dangerous, in the extreme. I am a big fan of his, as a player, but am coming to the conclusion that we can't afford to have him at our club.

International potential, but have to say the club need to have a serious think, a very fine line as people were clamouring to sign him up long term when Hopkins re-signed.

Be interesting to see what the RFL make of the latest incident

I agree Col, but he definitely won't fulfil that potential, if he can't cut out the crazy things he consistently does. If it's possible, it is even worse in SL, where incidents are captured on camera from all sorts of angles. His physical presence will be sorely missed if (when) he gets another hefty ban.

Bird appereared to hit Ben Reynolds late and cynically , Ben was laid flat out on the floor with blood pumping out of his nose which looked as if it had been broken.

One of our moms!
Will be magic if he's still with us in championship nextseason

Looks like Beaumont is defending Acton judging by his Twitter post





You simply cannot do what Acton did,Beaumont should know better than condoning it too
I can see a big ban coming Acton's way

He isn't condoning what Acton did. He's expressing what was missed.

Well they are giving dirk what for on rugby league banter page

Good for them,without Derek we would be where now?

Who knows , i know we wouldnt be hated as much

We wouldn't have a club in SL..Or does that not concern you?

We can't live life on 'what ifs'

Precisely, so what the chuff you on about then, we have Derek - and all the better for it at the moment

Im not the one whos brought dirks ownership into it you clown

Think your mistaking me for someone else

Greg Bird knew what he was doing, if he was that concussed how come he came back on.

Obviously he couldn't have been concussed, or he wouldn't have been allowed back on. Still a stupid thing for Acton to do though.

Was a bit silly of Jamie but he saw his halfback hit late by a dirty b#####d in Bird and went to say don't do that again please or I will slap u

Afraid he's brought it on himself. Surprised that Bird wasn't cited for what looked like a very reckless challenge, that obviously incensed Acton. there was another on Reynolds, leading to Hopkins first try.

Crooks a predictable Grade B punching, with TWO Catalans players, plus one Catalans who is charged with Grade C punching. And there's Richie Myler with a Grade A tripping - AGAIN! (NFA presumably, as it's only his SEVENTH such offence in his time at Catalans)
