Nice sentiment, but if said naysayers have been proven right this season, why would they then give him a third of next season before criticising his coaching? I presume if he's still in charge it will be evident from game one that the team has turned over a new leaf, or are you suggesting he should be given time to 'rebuild' the team he built in the first place, the one that wasn't very successful?

Am I the only one that spotted this particular line?




I know it's "in" to criticise Deacs at the moment, but surely calling him a line-breaker is being a little inaccurate?

25 tackle busts but only 6 clean breaks n 2009. Obviously he needs support players as he's not quick enough to get clear.

One did.
