Of course I would and I would also state why I'm going just as I have done with my current work situation.

Yeah of course they only go for the money. It's not like RU has anything to offer apart from money is it. The blinkers some RL fans have on for RU is ridiculous. icon_rolleyes.gif

What if a coach like Bitcon for example moved to cricket or football? Would the same lines be rolled out for that or is it just when someone moves to RU?

He's gone to a bigger sport which will offer him more opportunities along with more money. No brainer

Be fair he's in a no win situation, if he says he's off for the money, some will call him a Judas. If he mouths platitudes about new challenges he gets called as a BS merchant.

Wind your neck in a bit, all I said was he's gone for the money and please don't throw in the "more opportunities " card either, are there no opportunities in league? He was assistant at Wigan and assistant for GB the next step would be a head coach in the championship and then super league, how many more opportunities does he want? Good luck to him though, he's made his bed.

Not if it was to go and make a sport I hate better by bringing in attacking ideas and structures from the sport I love, putting more of a threat out there to the sport I love.

If Union starts to become a fast exciting attacking game by continuing to poach Rugby League's coaches, with the money it has, League will fall into very shaky ground. We would struggle to survive imo.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg

You are a fan... Deacon has to make a living. It's a very difficult position for the individual... For us fans it's purely a moral judgement.

Wigan can be partly blamed for the revival of RU when they played Bath and the Twickenham sevens where they came back from what was an impending defeat.They showed RU how fit and skilfull and opened their eyes and realised all was not right in the RU game RU at the time had just gone full pro and who was the first person to appoint Phil Larder the Great Britain coach since then we have had a steady stream of RL coaches /players Hanley,Edwards,Farrell just to name a few would Edwards have stayed in RL if at the time as the Clubs were obsessed in NRL coaches .

Are you involved in a public high profile position with media attention?

I'm sure if you are your new employer would love to see it splashed all over the media that you are only going for the money.

No amount of coaching could make that happen, without a lot of fundamental rule changes.

I told my former employer as to why I was leaving and what I was leaving for. Deacon isn't exactly going into a high profile role he's basically doing the same job as he was doing at Wigan only he will now be doing it and getting........ more money

And it's bigger in England now than ever before thanks to Wigan RL's contributions. Not that I'm totally happy about that, but we haven't got room for all these lads.
