By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013
Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

Sykes / Deacon permanently for next season
That doesn't bode well for next year...

Should also point out that, with those try assists, he's responsible for nearly a quarter of all bradford's tries this season

I have long admired Thorman & hope he re-discovers the form that made him an international. Though, TBF, he was never the best SH/SO in last 100 years for Sheffield/London/Parramatta/Huddersfield/Hull.

You've included the same team twice. I assume because he had two spells?

None of those Clubs are 100 years old
Sheffield - Started in the 80's by Gary Hetherington
London - Fulham were the first in 80's
Parramatta - founded in 1947
Huddersfield - see above
Hull - Gateshead thunder started in 1999

| I think the main problem with Jeffries is the way that he seems to drift out games easily, especially when things aren't going his way. There's actually been a few games where I've had to check to see if he's even on the field
Until he can stamp his authority on games, literally 'take a game by the scruff of the neck' then he'll always be a bit of luxury player to me - someone who'll occasionally do something really good, or score a great try, but doesn't really do a proper playmaker job for the team.
Now this may be something to do with the overall shape of the team or the tactics employed. I don't think it helps him that Deacon isn't anywhere near the level he used to be - so he's often getting scrappy passes or being put into situations where he's too much under pressure. If he was playing outside a really good scrum half he might look better as a No 6?

Don't forget that BJ is primarily a scrum half, not a stand off, and has therefore been playing out of position ever since he joined our club.
Those few games when Deacon was injured and BJ moved to seven showed just how much of a difference it makes - he was a far more influential player in those matches.
I still can't quite believe we're about to let BJ go and keep playing Deacon at 7, everybody can see that Deacs is past it now and I can't see us ever progressing as a club while he is still on the pitch.

Isn't Deacon still under contract for next season though?

| Unfortunately yes, but that doesn't mean he can't spend a bit of time on the bench.

If you want to be pedantic Bradford Bulls/Northern (1964) Ltd aren't either.

It's been reported from numerous sources and looks like it could be true. Good signing for you imo.
