Yeah, yeah, then we can replace him with Jamie Lyon or someone as good as him cos were Bradford bulls and we can sign anyone! Ffs lad grow up! Platt isn't world class but he has proved over the last season he can be relied upon when needed! His knockers seem to be the glory boys living the past!

We need players like platt if you like it or not! But you carry on snipeing pal!

Interesting to read about Sykes, really had a good year at trinity and getting back some form and turning into a match winner again, funny what a bit of backing can do!

Pleased for Sykes as he as always flattered to deceive, Though a modified adage springs to mind in his case, "
Form is Temporary! Contracts more Permanent!"
It will be interesting to see if he falls back into the habit of not getting involved or getting involved with poor decision making now his future is now more secure.

Just noticed on the squad list we've currently only got 7 home grown players signed up for next year (Whitehead, Langley, Olbison, O'Brien, John Bateman, Murphy, Ball). The minimum we need is 8 in the squad under this years rules but I can't recall if this goes up again next year. In that case we're either going to have to re-sign one of the following, James Donaldson, Danny Addy, Liam McAvoy or Karl Pryce, or find someone in the juniors ready to step up.
I'm assuming we won't resolve our differences with Kopczak.

No amount of backing could or will make either one of them defend properly in the right centre position and it's not living in the past to state it.

You keep on backing him, we'll keep on leaking points down the right. Wer dont need players like MP, Clearly.

Tbf I'd keep Platt now until his contract is up at least.

By virtue of where the squad is I'd probably agree but in any other circumstances....

I'm assuming that we'll try to sign ALL of the players you mention.

Why wouldn't we? They are all decent players - and there aren't others out there, not currently signed up, who are any better than they are

Comments on twitter from some of our currently OOC players are really starting to worry me. Ainscough, Addy and Donaldson have all made comments that seem to suggest their futures in the game are still up in the air.
Hopefully this is just while their agents iron things out for them, but it has been almost two weeks now since negotiations supposedly began, and all we've managed to do is tie down Chev Walker for another 12 months.
