I hope Deacon does sign and It would make a lot of sense if he did with Tommy probably being used at 9 . so on saying that I would think deacs would kick but there needs to be someone else spending time with a kicking tee practicing as it would do no harm to have someone else to kick . thinking back when Pat started Kicking wasn't it a choice between him and tommy and he took up the responsibility , surely Tommy can still launch one ?

Good point. I thought this announcement was meant to sometime this week?

i dont for a minute think Deacs will kick.

how many good kickers get to the latter stages of their careers and give up kicking as it doesn't help fitness! with a couple of niggles this year i really dont think Wigan will risk him if they keep him on - which i have little doubt that they will!

Roberts for me i may be wrong but didnt he bang over a couple from the touchline against Wakefield in last years pre season friendly.

The only reason he wont kick is if he's not playing so if he isnt that will mean Charnley will be playing and therefore kicking aswell.

I'm free.
