Quote ="DaveO"Well if Deacon does sign it's going to be interesting to see if he signs as a player how the team selection goes.
Deacon 7, Sam 6, Tommy 9 and McIllorum interchange hooker (or even MCIllorum 9, Tommy as interchange) may well give us a better side than thhe same line up but with Riddell in there instead of McIllorum. It would certainly be popular with many.
MCillorum had a great season and if he ends up getting pushed out for a combination of ex-Bradford player approaching retirement and Riddell that doesn't really fit in with the "bting the Wigan lads through" philosophy does it!

Not think this could signal the end for Riddell? Not sure how exactly he has settled in to the English way of life but he might want to ask for a release? Again, not sure if anyone would have any space for him in the NRL (except Manly now of course!) and possibly ST George after Wendell recently quit.
