So if Deacon can improve Sammy then i'm very much in favour of the move.

For me Deacon is a massive no i would rather we look internally or around other junior structures there are 1 or 2 top quality junior halves available to provide cover who have the potential for long careers.

If you are signing someone on there way down they must in my opinion be top notch and while Deacon has been a good player I do not think he is a player we should even consider.

From a very credible source!

Could this mean we are away Round 1?

Wigan/Leeds Andy wrote:Season starts two weeks earlier for the teams playing Leeds and Quins in rounds 3/4 because of the WCC and round 1 proper the week after so if your source is correct looks like we're away.

However a lot of people got confused with the Sky Bet season bet listings the other week as the bet was us against Hull KR for who would do better over the regular season and people wrongly assumed it was the first match of the season betting.
