| Quote: Paul Youane "Do you really believe Deacon is on a par with Pryce? That is the type of thing you would expect to see written in excrement on the walls of a cell in a mental asylum.'" although they are very different types of player, i would have to say that Pryce is/has been a more of a game breaker than Deac's. A bit of a one trick pony IMO, but a game breaker none the less. However in the current Wigan setup, Deacon is far, far more integral to the game we play. TBH where would we play Pryce?. likewise there is no way that Deacon would get in the Saints side. It was the Jeff lima / LMS* comparison that got me scratching my head. This thread has really added to tonights buildup! * Louis McCarthy Scarsbrook ......................................................................

Quote: Paul Youane "Do you really believe Deacon is on a par with Pryce? That is the type of thing you would expect to see written in excrement on the walls of a cell in a mental asylum.'" Can't really compare the two, as they're very different players. Deacs admittedly doesn't have the individual skills of Pryce, but he's a much better organiser, is more consistent (even Saints fans admit LP "goes missing" in games quite often), reads a game better, and has a far superior kicking game. As tuggles points out, he fits our scheme a lot better than Pryce would. I certainly wouldn't swap them.

Quote: inside_man "Seriously? Deacon in his pomp maybe but not now. I'd have Pryce all day long!'" The key factor for me is Deacs' medium/long kicking game - something that our other halves have struggled with recently.

Quote: Geoff "The key factor for me is Deacs' medium/long kicking game - something that our other halves have struggled with recently.'" I'd agree, but the basis of this discussion is who has the stronger side, not who'd fit into our system better, and there's no question Pryce is a better player these days.

Quote: inside_man "I'd agree, but the basis of this discussion is who has the stronger side, not who'd fit into our system better, and there's no question Pryce is a better player these days.'" Fair enough. Getting back to the original thread topic, though, I might change my vote after today's first game.

Quote: "Who will be the biggest threat to our Title?'" WIGAN players losing the plot & giving away STUPID penalties.
