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?

I bow down to you knowledge Atomic I must admit I didn't know he had made 1 appearance for the Giants, I stand corrected :BOW:

Re: Bucking Broncos want Acton : Fri Nov 18, 2016 2:58 pm  
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.

Bongser is with HRJ on the compromise option as long as a recall clause is inserted in any loan deal. It will be a gruelling season for a relatively small squad. Barring the agitators, don't like seeing the players that got us there being discarded, though, yup, life's hard.

In fairness to Acton,he didn't participate in either game..So who are you blaming?

Silverwood was quite vocal on how we got screwed by the ref that night, a bit of nostalgia with team selection didn't help either

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'.


Agree totally.

If you read it again, I wasn't blaming Acton.

I was talking about the discipline in general. It doesn't matter who Leigh RLFC have out there on the park. If we want to sledge and have a bit of 'niggle', forget winning games, it will be 2005 revisited !!

I gave 3 examples on when our discipline went out of 'shape' against 3 'ordinary' SL teams at the time fighting for survival.

Leeds - 12-37 Hudds 2nd half 6-30 and HKR first 25 mins 0-12 (and should have been a lot worse !!)

Acton is just a symptom of our poor discipline, but he aint the only one capable of the odd Brainfart. If he was the only one, the above games and scorlines would not be mentioned.

Irrespective, we didn't exactly miss him did we ?
