Personally I don't think it's the lack of pace, as we have Halley coming forward in attack, BJ isn't slow and we have Worrincy and Beaver in the pack. I just think it's lack of creativity in the halves. We cannot seem to shift the ball around enough and we seem to be relying too much on getting an offload from Burgess, Lynch or Menzies. Deacon is just running out of ideas in his old age .

Halley, to me, is the only one with pace. Jeffries has never struck me as that quick, but I'll grant you he's lightning compared to Deacon!

Paleaasina is lightning compared to Deacon. I'm wondering how you'll do for pace when Burrow, McGuire, Webb, Donald, Hall and Sinfield all go to Wire.

If Newton and Solomona weren't so fat and slow then it wouldn't actually be that bad a pack really. It'd front up to most SL packs anyways but then when you take into fitness issues and regular injuries then it becomes rather average.

As for some of the comments aimed at Burgess for been useless that I've seen in other places. the poor lads out on his feet alongside Lynch trying to mobilise the forwards. They cant be expected to do everything
