Also we both know the game has moved on since Stan's glory days. It is a lot faster than it ever was. Multiple TV cameras, computers and full on player performance analysis are now the order of the day.

Players are now under so much scrutiny, and are playing under enormous pressures. You have to control these pressures and keep emotions in check and learn to where to channel aggression correctly. The ability to do so is what breeds winners.

It is one thing young Gunner saying we have to live with Acton conceding a couple of penalties here and there but I don't subscribe to the theory. The most disciplined team wins Super League games so those penalties can be all the difference.

What is the saying now a days?
[i'Penalty, Penalty, TRY' [/i

what I'm trying to say about Acton is yes he might give a penalty because at the moment any sort of aggression and he gets pulled but what I want out of him is stop the silly penalties but I bet he's not one of the worst for giving stupid penalties like off side, lying on or speaking back to the referee,it's them penalties that wind me up not the ones were Acton belts someone

I recall Tickle and Hopkin were not shy when it came to conceding Penalties last season

All that era had amazing appearance records - never seemed to get injured. Although part-time it was a full 80 minutes no interchange no subs no video ref delays and no six tackle halt to proceedings - not sure how they managed without water carriers either!

Wonder what’s different that we end up with huge number of players out for the season at crucial times?

Acton has got to appear against Toronto, if he doesn't it gives Rowley bragging rights. However, he shouldn't start; he should be introduced after the expected opening exchanges have subsided.
