If he's coming as an assistant coach, he can't be earning megabucks and he can't expect megabucks either. Also if he's only acting as cover for the halfbacks then he can't expect to be earning decent money particularly if he's only going to get a few games. Obviously I'm not in a position to confirm his salary but that's how I'd imagine it panning out.

| Deacon may be past his best but he is not totally spent. If he joins us and registers as a player McIllorum might as well move out now IMO.

Why? How does signing a 7 threaten a 9?

If that's the case i'd say it's a good signing.
Maybe he is coming in on a cheaper salary to learn from somebody who ive heard, is going to be brilliant for you lot.
Not wanting to be an butt licker but, i do fear you are going to be a challenge to us next year.

Let's be honest, I think more would be against it then for it.
Not many would be applauding BN and IL for signing a 30 year old scrum half rather than the 'enforcer' style prop most were calling out for before MM's appointment.

Sam and Deacs = HB, Tommy & Piggy = hooker, MM = redundant in my gloom laden scenario!!

Why?
Deacons not signing as a full on first team player, the only way he will get a game is if someone is injured.
From what i've heard the plan is for when Piggy leaves McIlorum gets the 9 shirt and Tommys the interchange hooker and we are looking at developing Mellor to take the No7 to partner Sam in 2 years.

| If Deacon is signed in a coaching mentoring role to are halfbacks as well as providing backup in case of an injury then I'd be happy with it.
If his wages are kept to a minimum and he also acts as are kicking coach then it will be a good deal, I don't for a minute see him taking priority in the halfbacks and neither should he, if he's been brought into do the job that we all believe he has then it will be a good signing.
Just a prop now and were set.

I can't honestly see Deacs taking anyone's place in the first team unless there's an injury. I'd be very disappointed if that happened.

Me too. It's just that the Guardian article never even mentions him coming as a coach. I read this and take it that he is coming as a player.
Quote PempsAlthough at 30 his best playing days are undoubtedly behind him, he has been signed partly to help the development of Sam Tomkins,'"
