He's probably the hardest working winger in the league.

What about Mr I Run Sideways Raynor?

Will Jefferies be the same player when Deacon comes back.

Maybe not if he has to revert to #6 he won't, I'd suggest? Sam's point about consistency is surely spot on, mind, but he seems to look more comfortable at #7?

The very interesting scenario of what happens if Rinaldi's contract is extended raises its head, given he can play in the halves too?

That's what I was getting at. I hope Deacon isn't brought straight back in just because he's back fit.

... Not a patch on Ryan Hall...

See no reason why this should not happen anyway. Covers multiple positions for injuries.
Perhaps not great spondooliks he's on. and what an outstanding game he played friday under the circumstances. Do consider the problems that he might have had, and made light of.
1. Not up to SL quality after a long term out
2. Not up to SL fitness levels for the same reason
3. Just a week to learn the Bulls playbook (No jokes please, I know them all)
4. Same for finding out who he was actually playing with
5. Personal confidence in playing league leaders away

So whats to think about?

Yup. Add to that he seems a great bloke too.

I don't actually mind Ryan Hall.

True, I like him.
