Hoppy out of favour it seem's

Don't think he is, and he will play a role in the 7 games to come but imo it was Acton or Hopkins, and Acton adds more at present imo. Around Dewsbury away Hopkins was a shoe in.

Exactly why Acton would drop out of the 19 for me. He is still a huge risk IMO, certainly in high pressured matches.

SL teams will get under his skin. Yes, We can absorb such discretion's in most championship matches but against SL teams no.

They will just need one act of petulance, a sin bin, maybe for him to concede just one penalty, thus gaining field position and its try time and good night.

We really can do without any of Acton's silly stuff, opposition head tapping, red cards or 7 match suspensions in these upcoming matches.

Discipline is going to be key if we want to progress.

1. McNally
2. Higson
3. Smith
4. Dawson
5. Brown
6. Ridyard
7. Drinkwater
8. Moi Moi
9. Higham
10. Weston
11. Patterson
12. Hock
13. Hansen

14. Reynolds
15. Hopkins
16. Tickle
17. Maitua

18. Worthington
19. Acton

I think Ben Reynolds deserves his chance at the top flight, he has played brilliant all season. Acton cannot be trusted in these games as said previously, I have a sneaky feeling he will play though.

For me our most improved player this season has been Acton and he stopped patting opposition players on the head a long time ago.

He is not stupid and like the rest of our squad will be aware how much discipline matters in the upcoming matches.

after fui he makes more yards than any other forward and hes far and away our best tackling forward.

I don't think Fui makes the most yards, it is just that they are more noticeable.

I hope your right young Francis.

He did however kop a 7 match ban this season for illegal use of the knee. The evidence is available on you tube along with him still pratting about in the pursuing aftermath.

He and his temperament remains a concern IMO.

It's all about opinions but at the end of the day it's not us who select the starting 17.

Well i'm with you on this one Frank. I would play Acton too.

Is travis burns injured

Yes, a 'niggle' apparently. Should be back in contention in the next week or two.

I reckon he could play if needed but with Ridyard, Drinkwater and Reynolds we are fine in the halves so no sense in rushing him.

To be honest I don't think he would be in our team this weekend even if fit. Ridyard and Drinkwater are our 1st choice halves.

Burns not good enough to get into our team currently, a decent replacement if injuries occur

Yer a hard man to please Stephen.

Acton is quality, big part of our future. Will shine in the middle 8s.
