Quote: SFW "I've seen a fair few Wigan games this season and Deacon makes a massive difference, the way you were moving the ball wide yesterday with him in the team was much more effective than when he hasn't been there, and apparently you were much better at KR last week with him in the team. To knock him for the odd individual mistake whilst completely ignoring the way he makes you tick in attack is poor.'"
What's embarrassing is that SFW can read the Wigan game better than most of our fans. One of the main reasons for our previous dismal form is the lack of shape that missing Deacon brings. Some of our attacking play with this shape is scintillating, but terrible without. Not just that but our lack of shape, our flatness also brings out mistakes and knock-ons.
Re. Finch - anyone with a remote understanding of RL can see that yes e is struggling, but he's getting better every game. Also that he's showing aspects of his game that indicate in the long term he'll be an excellent addition to the squad.
