Aren't you bored of this yet?

I've always rated him as a player - nice hands and a top drawer kicking game - but his defence can be absolutely atrocious at times and stops him being the finished article. IMO of course.

I think that Macca should show Deacs and Jeffries just how badly they are playing by putting Morro and Menzies in there. I know this sounds stupid, but at least they are creative, they won't throw bad passes and it might make Jeffries and Deacon get their ar$es into gear.

Deacon cannot take responsibility for the whole team !

To be fair though, Thorman's defence can't be worse than Jeffries.

Yes I am a bit bored, but I have a mission to ensure that the Deacon name is secured as a Legend ..........





I might, however, take up another hobby

He does go looking for the ball to set up attacks. Might not be doing it too well, but that hasnt stopped him from seeking the ball, which is to his credit when he's playing so badly. Jeffries seems quite happy to float about looking to take the occasional offload in space, but doesnt seek to impose himself on the match. A kind of poor man's Alan Hardisty to Deacon's Hepworth.

Is there an OPTA stat for kicks in play? ie proximity to opposition full back?

Give over with the stats- he was awful. He was passing like Iestyn Harris with broken arms

You seem very dumb. If you are talking about this season, or even the Hull game, why do you think I think Deacon was anything else but poor? Can't you read?

As for Harris - how we could have done with his skills so far this season. It says a lot about your lack of knowledge that you use Harris, one of the game's most gifted players and especially passers, when you want an example of a crap passer.

Oh yes the Iestyn Harris who's speciality was passing two yards behind the advancing runner and usually on the floor. I was reminded of this several times including his other 'play' throwing the ball in to touch. He also a major factor in why the team is so unbalanced. Yes - he probably would have done better but not by much and wouldn't be difficult

Re deacon - was only reacting to one post as reading the rest of yours bore me to tears

Wind your neck in

When you spout rubbish like that about one of the game's true greats, it just makes you look a fool. Maybe you actually believe it, for all I know.


So you post without having a clue what the OP was talking about, why am I not surprised


I'm happy with my neck just where it is, my lachrymose Chum
