He wasn't a weak link at any point, and to say he was worse than Brough is ridiculous. As the game went on Brough showed more variety, but he had to as his team were losing!'" Yes very early on like the first five minutes he looked sharp after that he slipped in to the old routine. |

I saw a very disappointing Deacon today. He looks injured too. So why is he playing?

Beacuse you rely too much on him - bit like we do with Briers. Both our teams totally different ( for the worse) when these two are missing.
Good win for you today, see you all next week - should be a cracker. We are playing with some good form at the mo |

Deacon wasn't playing in either of the two impressive wins the Bulls have managed this season. |

Dont believe that! If so, fair play to you but you do rely on him as we do with Briers. Your a better team with him than without. Put it this way, I hope the little f%%er is dropped, rested whatever next week, it makes our game that little bit easier |

to be fair he took an almighty hit after 15mins or so and struggled therein after ... maybe he should have been brought off who knows, but he was going OK up until that point ... hey what do I know!

That seems to be the script for most games, sadly! |

Durham Giant,
Allow me to put this in a way you'll understand, since apparently you managed to assess Deacon's performance without actually seeing him play today.
Think to how when Chris Thorman was playing fullback for you. I saw quite a bit of Huddersfield in that year or two, so know what I'm saying here.
Let's say there was a match where you scored 5 tries and got 3 kickable penalties. Thorman, as first choice kicker, kicked 4 goals from under the sticks, 3 goals from fairly decent positions, and 1 from the touchline.
Did that make him a good fullback?
Answer? No. He was god awful as a fullback. But hey, since he kicked a bunch of goals in a game, he should have got man of the match right?

You're right.
I await the revelation that Deacon played against Leeds and Saints in full body disguise, in place of one of his team-mates. |

Perhaps he got a bit tanned, donned a fat suit, a wig and a scrum cap, then wore number 26 on his back.
Oh hang on, he was injured too wasn't he.... |

Will all those who were last week saying he was rubbish, never rated him, he was only good behind the dominant Bulls pack please stand up and apologise ![]()
Oh dear.
as has been said by others, he was good for about 4 min in open play and his goalkicking was excellent. But he also throw out some very slow dodgy passes, placed at least two grubbers into the hands of wakey players only about a meter in front of him and generally looked right off the pace and showed no creative spark at all. but yes he clearly won the game for us
