I don't pay any attention to stats.

Nor anything else, unless it contains alcohol, and comes in a glass vessel.

Well if the season finishes on points difference, how are you going to know who's top?

You'd never know anyway, seeing as 87.35% of all statistics are wrong.

He stuffs Deacon on Try assists, Meters gained 272 (nearly 200 more), Carries, Offloads & Tackle Busts. Though I suppose if you expect that standard from Deacon you are not going to be disappointed.


Anybody can have a bad game Tigs :oops: What about all the games he has won for us ??

(Hope you did not find my response insulting, offensive or in bad taste - I have to be very careful :SHHH: )

(Apologies once again for not reading the thread, so if I repeat anything, sorry!).

I can't for the life of me understand what's happened to Deacon. I used to rate him pretty well. Never a flashy or highly skillful player, but always a dependable type. Rarely threw bad passes, tackled well for a small player etc.

However lately he seems to have massively suffered. The last 2 games have shown, where he seems to have thrown loads of bad or awful passes and missed tackles that you would normally expect him to get, despite his size.

Perhaps he's suffering from the confidence loss that seems to be affecting a few players, but I'm finding it very hard to defend him at the moment, as he's been playing REALLY badly.

Unfortunately, as I'm sure has been said, the lack of depth in our squad for halfbacks means that we don't have a real option to drop either Deacon or Jeffries. No matter who you put in from our current squad, I can't see them being any better there.
