We currently have a scrum half in Moran who I would imagine is earning big money. We also have Brown to cover for the injured Orr.

Whilst the above paragraph is depressing to read it seems unlikely that Deacon would be brought in - even IF he were available; especially considering how highly IM is supposed to rate Brown

Hasn't Moran played full-back in the past? It's a position where we're lacking in experienced cover, Millward not wanting to push Ashton too much in his first year in the senior squad, and creates a space at scrum-half...

He was tried there for a few games last season, but didn't look very safe, particularly under high kicks.

No, I think he also played there from time-to-time at London. I know he wasn't very good at it last year at Wigan, but that's hardly anything new!

he did fraggle he played alot at full back for london. when we played him there he looked a bit shakey to me and a bit unsure.
to deacon. waw. would be amazing, dont think it will happen but if bradford are in short supplies with money and we have pockets full then it could be possible.

Deacon and Solomona are mentioned in an article on manchester online. Could be an element of truth behind the rumour.

That place is worse than rlfans for rumours.

Deacon has had a very bad injury and for me it is to be seen if he ever gets over it psycologically.

Loads - all of them on RLFans and the BBC site - if you think it's true then get down the bookies and stick a wedge of cash on it - the odds would be staggering...

Why would Deacon leave the a club that he has been at for as long as I can remember; that are the current Super League and World Club Champions, mid way through the season to come to a team that are at the bottom of super league?

Well Wigan is his hometown team and he already has a house in Wigan. Some people just want to play for their hometown not matter where they are in the table.

Personally I can't see him switching form the Bull to Wigan, these rumour probably started because someone saw him in Wigan or something like that, I think he still has family in the area so coming to see them while he's injured isn't and odd thing and doesn't mean he is signing for Wigan.

If you really want to know you could always email him at: paul.deacon@bradfordbulls.co.uk

Its strange other teams have Wigan born half backs why havent we ???

And I think every one of those you mention left under a cloud.

I went to school with 'babyface' and I was speaking to him in Jumpin jaks in Wigan a couple of years ago. He said then that he would 'Love' to play for Wigan one day. He'll come, but when?
