How did Deacon go today ? He does not seem to be doing it for you ?

said for a few years deacon is rubbish, and before people start saying i dont watch the bulls etc etc etc i watch them just as much as i watch the giants. im huddersfield and the lass is bradford.

i just think if bradford were to get 2 new half backs and a new hooker things would look much better for them, and i believe that has been the case for the last 2-3 years.

deacon has no pace, no kicking game, no passing game and no tackling techniqe! infact all he can do is kick goals.

he used to be many bulls fans heros so to speak, it now seems alot of bulls are turning on him.

He ran into Shenton and came off worse.

Why was the incident put on report do you think?

because allthough it was a perfectly legal tackle, deacon had blood coming from his head/mouth....was put on report as mr hewer didnt see it clearly, (like most things today) didnt even give bradford a penalty, not that one was warranted

Not sure why as the actual tackle was fine, Shenton went running in 1 on 1 and collided with Deacon. The RFL will chalk it off during the week.

Nothing wrong with the tackle.

Fair enough. I didn't think there was anything in it at the time but I was miles away so couldn't really tell.

Listning to Shenny now he says nothing wrong with tackle, says he expects it to be pushed aside.

What about the other incident up at the Bulls end? Any idea what that was for?

I realise I sound like a blind git but I couldn't work that one out either.

Well he would say that wouldn't he!



(Don't think there was anything wrong with it either but you get my point...)

For me Deacon has been very poor for the past two seasons and I've never rated him that highley. It's about time Bulls looked beyond him.

You'd think so wouldn't you



But it was to tigertv so it wouldn't have been brought up in evidence.

As is your perfect right, and your guide dog's.

Just to check - this would be the same Paul Deacon as is. . .

Club record goals scorer
Club record points scorer
Selected in the Bradford Team Of The Century
Led the Bulls to 3 "top of the league table" seasons
3 Super league GF Winners rings
2 Challenge Cup Final winners medals

... that Paul Deacon?

Clearly not much cop, then.

That Paul Deacon yes.

I was just trying to explain to you how eccentric your rating system is. Obviously, I failed in that, but did succeed in showing how evolution has ensured that bone density is a surprising feature of human skulls.

Yep, you illustrated your brain density perfectly. Well done on that one.

When Deacon went off you looked a bit lost at times, could be wrong but i don't think you had him on for the last 10 ?

He was rubbish mate. He has been all season.

Hey, I see what you did there. You tried to make a funny! Well done.

It doesn't work, since you have a thick skull, and that's the fault I alluded to, whereas the greater the density of a brain, the more working neurons it would have and thus be better equipped. But a blue star for trying hard.




Now could you set some of your neurons to actually considering the point which I raised, which is why you have 'never rated' someone who has achieved what I listed in the game, or is this sh=white[size=9.[/sizeit all you do?

I can only think of one 2003.
How do you work out that one he didn't play in the 2000 final.

Martin Hall has numerous league titles, WOrld Club Challenge & Challenge Cup medals. He was so average it's laughable. Deacon was/is a brilliant kicker when he has space, time & great players around him. Take those away & he is lost. There was a time when I wasn't sure whether I was right, it was while he was warming up for his debut.

Finish top in 99 and 01

You do know that the CCF is not a one-off game like the WCC? Anyway, I give up. You're obviously in the weird minority cult that thinks everything was won [idespite[/i Deacon, and man never landed on the Moon. I therefore conclude I'd get more sense trying to argue with a deaf mute Abyssinian goatherd.

Since presumably this must be something you have had experience of to be able to raise it as a comparison, I'm sure there must be a fascinating tale to tell there?
