Deacon : Sat Mar 07, 2009 10:18 pm  
Deacon was just awful tonight. Looks a pale imitation of the GB player he was a few seasons ago.

Time to play the reserve half back. Oh wait.... he just signed for Catalan.

Funny guy, :CLAP:. His defence was an improvement from last week, but have to agree he was pi$s poor.

Well we couldnt do anything about Bird but I agree our halves are shocking, we need some quality in there desperately.

To be fair to Deacon he doesn't have a decent half back partner to offload some work onto.

If Deacon had a good, direct running and link-up stand off along side him then he'd be able to control things off acting halfback and lay the platform correctly.

However, Ben Jeffries isn't a good, recognised 5/8th and the duo simply don't compliment each other.

Missing out on Greg Bird is massive blow for Bradford.

My beef is that we don't have any replacement. There's no competition for places. What would we do if Deacon gets injured?

Just chuck Morro or Menzies in there which looks to be Macca's plan for the season.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

I though us missing out on him was a big blow to us untill a young man called Sam Tomkins took the field.

Drop him as captain and let him concentrate on his game, morrison would be so much better and is more vocal.

Deacon had a terribel game but that is once a flood. he has one bad game for every 50 good games so it is a tad unfair to get on his back for one shocker.

I agree with most of that matey - except the fact that Deacs had a bad game :roll: First of all - he played behind a rubbish set of forwards, second - he cannot be expected to carry the team EVERY week, & thirdly - learn how to spell Terrible :wink:
