Acton will be targeted at every opportunity.
Can he hack the sledging ?
Can he turn his back and ignore it ?
Can he ignore all the sly digs ?
Can his discipline be impeccable ?
Its all in the Genes, and even though some consider him a hero, grabbing a Rugby Ball and trying to bust through SL defences will be more difficult than he could ever imagine. In fact, the conditioning of fellow Props will mean at times that he will get dominated. Will this frustrate him ?
Our discipline next season has to be absolutely top notch. Discipline could be the difference to losing and winning tight games. Our discipline at Leeds was shocking. Result ? we got dominated and should have lost by 50 ! Our discipline against Huddersfield in the second half was poor and at HKR first 25 mins! You dont need to be Nostradamus to realise the SL is unforgiving. We rode our luck and we took it. We also looked a very 'ordinary' team when are discipline was poor.
Acton is a big robust unit for sure. Will our coaching team add a new dimension to his game ? If the answer to all these points is YES, then fine, keep him. Its going to be interesting to see how it goes in the off season.
