Quote: MadDogg "I don't buy into this notion that Tommy would be twice the player he is now if he was played at 9.
Keep him at 7 for me and continue to develop the partnership with Tomkins.
I personally wouldn't have Deacon in the 17 with an injury free squad.'"
I don't think he would be twice the player he is now I just think that he's more suited to 9, his greatest asset is his running game and his strength we've seen how explosive he can be coming out of 9.
Plus he can sometimes be anonymous in games but by putting him at 9 your forcing him to get his hands on the ball more and get involved.
