[QUOTE="ALJ, post: 828760, member: 74322"] To be fair to Hartley, his discipline has always been pretty good for England but you can't help that feel he might blow up at a crucial moment. Much has been made of his tendency toward violence but just as critical to me was his sending off against Leicester in the Premiership final - no violence, just an idiotic moment of madness. It didn't used to bother me too much when he was young as I figured he'd mature and it's generally easier to calm aggression than it is to create in a player that lacks it (Sheriden would be a good example for me). But he just doesn't seem to learn and that has to be a worry for any team he plays for. Whether England need him or not, the chances are we won't have him for the Six Nations so it will be very interesting to see if he makes it back in the side once George has a few games under his belt.
