Nope. I'm saying the opposite(though not doing a greta job of it obviously

). He gelled very well with almost all of the halfbacks we've had in the past 10 years.

One thing they all had in common (apart from Pratt) was that they were all very good players and better than Jeffries. They also all had better backs outside them and a better pack up front.

My fault. I read 'either' as 'neither'.

Thanks for that. We'd never have got there without your input

That's always been my view. He was the safe one who took very few risks & lived off the genius of the Pauls. FA would look good at the side of them providing he was a good kicker who knew his limitations.

His safeness and structure have won us a lot more games than they've lost. But in Jeffries we just aren't getting the sparky foil (I like that phrase so I'm going to patent it) that Deacs needs.

I've some KitKat wrapper on my desk, the club could probably afford that.

That's where we differ. I'd argue you'd have won them with virtually any any half who could kick.

Look at the Records & Stats Tigs - Deacon deserves better respect than this topic - hang you heads in shame all you knockers

Maybe but they do say......damn lies and statistics

Well jus look at the FACTS Northy - Deacs is a legend & deserves better respect that many people are giving him.

We are not playing well, but perhaps Team Spirit is not where it should be

Calm down

I like Deacon but stats are sometimes miss-leading is all I'm saying.

They're still facts, therefore you can't argue with them.
