I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

The logical choice is Deacon assuming he resigns and then plays each and every week, after all he's a very accomplished kicker. But were he not to play who would be the next to step up and kick?

Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES.

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 ?

I seem to recall Finch is a pretty experienced kicker, may be wrong.

Pretty sure that Finch has not kicked goals in past. If Deacon not in team then Roberts would be next best bet (assumimg he is playing of course!).

Drop goals aside, Finch is a 100% career kicker - 1 from 1.
My guess would be Roberts.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Personally I think it will be Sam. If we sign a Hooker before the start of the season I can't see Deacon getting a place in the side. If we don't then I still think Deacon will have more of an impact role with the arrival of Finch so won't be on the field all the time.
I think Sam is the logical choice with a bit of off-season experience of course to improve on his dire attempt at the GF.

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!
