I won't believe it unless Deacon is completely dropped against Wakefield, not even on the bench. If Mac means it Deacon and Langers will be the drop-outs from 19.

And the difference between the two sides on the scoresheet was?

The fact we were given kickable conversions and penalties (with one or two exceptions) and we have a player who can kick them. If he could do anything other than kick goals, it would be great. Sadly, in his current form, he can't. Sykes would have got at least 6 of the 8 I reckon.

The fact that we scored our tries under (nice one Beaver) or close to the sticks, and we were awarded three easily-kickable penalties.

Sorry...your point was...?

In answer:
a. The bulls were a better side and scored more tries + penalties.
b. The placement of the tries and penalties gave superior positional
opportunity for their convertion to further points.

Whilst I was never a goal kicked of significant note, and am now slightly overage for even senior rugby, and had a knee reconstruction 10 years ago, I still feel that I could have hobbled to make at least 6 of Deacon's simple conversions

Sykes would have kicked most of them anyway, and would have cut out the mistakes in Deacon's in game kicking. Although it was an improvement, Deacon's performance wasn't up to the standard we need.

I like Macca, but he is making himself sound stupid by repeating this mantra, or saying he would drop players if there were ones to replace them. Apart from Platt/Halley scapegoats he is yet to show any gonads whatsoever.

Keep off the booze matey cos it really is showing now

What are you on? Deacon didn't really win the game for us, scoring the tries under the sticks thus giving Deacon an easy conversion won it for us. Langley made a couple of good breaks, but, tbf it's about time.
