Well done Jamie, heres hoping you start next season in the form you had at the end of this.

saw him at castleford with duane on saturday at academy match he had a sling on there

Picture of some nails! Sorry the size was 100 times too big for the page and I don't know how to re-size em - Bullseye

And what did Macca say at the fans forum when asked about selection on fitnes and form? Fitness and form were how he would pick his squad!.....

Quite similar to Ben Jeffries who, up until his season ending injury played all season with a dodgy partner.

Wahey.

Hardly on-topic, does every thread have to be turned into this negative drivel?

Booo!

it's hardly negative drivel.

deacon was, for most of the season, lacking form and fitness. making mcnamara's promise of picking on form and fitness a complete joke.

And how does that relate to Langley?

If you want to indulge your ingrained anti-Deacon beliefs then I suggest that you start your own thread and cease hijacking those that seek to highlight the courage and commitment of other players.

Seems to me some people take a positive delight in turning anything the club says or releases into a negative, or using it as an excuse for moaning or agenda-pursuing.

In this case, Langley is reported in the article as saying he did not believe the injury affected his performance. Which means neither did the club, given where the copy or the briefing will doubtless have originated. And, given that the injury was season-long yet his perceived performances actually improved later in the season, that does tend to suggest he was right? Something that the naysayers have not commented on.

If there IS an issue, its whether Langley and the club were right in that assessment. NOT whether players were picked on fitness or otherwise.

And what the hell has this to do with Deacon?

I'm sure some at the club wonder why the hell they bother?

Dear me. Some people just cannot take a joke. Not surprising one of them right enough.
