It is easy to get on Deacon's back after tonight, he was absolutley shocking, even by his own low standards. How anyone can say he is usually good is beyond me. Jeffires is also getting his usual slagging elsewhere. I thought Jeffries was easily the best Bulls back, his kickng is very poor, admittedly. He ran his blood to water. He was responsible for both Bulls tries, on the first getting involved 3 times down Deacon's side of the pitch. He was also cruelly denied by the ref when Menzies (who I was disappointed in) broke through. I can only think of Deacon taking on the line once, Jeffries countless times. Deacon seemed fearless in defence yet terrified of attacking, like a man who knows his limits. He passes the ball along the line then stands back, Jeffries passes it then is immediately looking for the next option.

Jefferies at least ran and tried to find gaps. Deacon just hoofed the ball badly towards the wigan players. He's not been the player he was since his injury in the tri-nations. But what can we do? We've no back up half-backs so he can't be dropped :roll:






When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.

Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train

As an opposition fan the only halfback from Bradford i feared tonight was Jeffries. He at least tried to take the line on and caused us a couple of problems.

I've always had Deacon down as a good inplay kicker but even that part of his game was poor tonight. He doesn't cause you a jot of bother when running the ball and was targeted in defence.

Overall very poor.

Deacon was shocking last night. As the above post said, the Wigan team constantly targeted Deacon and Sykes and it paid dividends!

Well done Tigs for managing to string so many words together. Your sort of game eh ? I agree though when you say "It is easy to get on Deacon's back after tonight" - trouble is YOU make a hobby about of it :roll:

Move on Tigs & get a life !

You honestly think Deacon played well? Bradfords game is based around good field position, time after time the forwards worked hard to get in a good position only for Deacon to put in a terrible kick, don't think I saw one of his kicks bounce, every one went straight into the hands of a Wigan player. The only decent kicks were by Newton and Jeffries, at that point I think Deacon had realised it wasn't his day, he couldn't even kick to touch from a penalty. I noticed it, sky noticed it, all the fans noticed it except you, he had a shocker.

Why should I? I've suffered ME like abuse for pointing out the obvious for 8 or so years. I'm basking in Schadenfreude.

I thought putting Deacon to mark Hock was a master stroke by Banana.

I am just letting you know what I have heard is happening the moral or professional aspects are not being discussed.
Lam will be the main coach 2019 and Edwards will work along side but not in public view until 2020 maybe we will end up following the Leeds Rhinos director of rugby style.

And Mr Lebron James replied with !!!!!! :DRUMMER:

Deacon's finest hour was the 2003 run-in when Robbie and Leon were both crocked and we had no recognised six - Mike Forshaw filling in a lot.
