| Quote Cibaman="Cibaman"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.'"
Jeffries has 59 carries to Deacon's 27. I love stats.
Last season Jeffries made over 1,000 metres more & 50% more carries. Purely by floating about. |

The guys playing in a team with 6 useless backs, 6 useless forwards and 4 guys who sit on a bench because they are apparently even worse. A bit harsh to pick Deacon out as the cause of all problems. There isn't a single player in the team with imagination or ability to see what the rest of the team are in a position to do, and there are loads who seem to have forgotten how to tackle.
Without Deacon we'd be on zero in the table this year rather than a might 1 point. That one point may just keep us from getting the wooden spoon.

You're right, how could we all have been so blind to miss this?
Deacon for MOS! |

Sorry but that's just a load of w@nkerage IMO and an insult to - as a minimum - the guys like Morro who have been far from "useless" |

Agree with you that it's harsh to pick Deacs out as the cause of the problems.
Then again, I think it's harsh of you to slate all of the forwards. What about the contributions and continual effort of Morro (in ALL games so far this season) and Lynchy (keeping in mind it was his first game back)??? |

Harris was a rare talent. If you don't agree then as far as I'm concerned you either don't actually know a great player when you see one, or else you're just making mischief. |

Despite Harris's lack of pace it's clear that we're missing his playmaking abilities this season. |

Very much so. Who do you think was more put out and had their confidence knocked by the move for Bird? I always assumed it would be Jeffries, as the obvious casualty, but maybe Deacon saw it as a sort of vote of no confidence in him? |
