Is it just because you have Platt (needs to improve decision making)


thing is halley brings a different set of problems to the fullback position. seems a lot of people only remember the good things he does at fullback and gloss over the errors, same with sykes, whereas with platt they only remember the mistakes and gloss over the good things. Im not convinced that either halley or platt are the long term solution to fullback but platt has shown a steady improvement all season and been close to motm a couple of times (obviously ignoring the slip and the attempted pass behind the line on sunday) and deserves to continue at fb for the moment. Halley should be getting more gametime as well but think he'd be more use taking sheriffes spot or at least sharing it off the bench.

I was pleased when Reardon joined us because I thought he was a good player at the Bulls, although a fella I worked with who supported Bradford reckoned he was another McAvoy, had early promise but stood still rather than improving with experience.

I can't remember him standing out much in his first two seasons with us (the latter two have been a write off with injury) but one thing in Reardon's credit, every year (when he's fit) he's one of the top tackle busters in SL.

Probably find out more on April 23 when him and Pryce get sentenced.

Not a bad assessment that, IMO.

Two wingers sharing a position seems a waste of an interchange spot.

given the general shortage of backs in the squad and the fact one of the wingers can also cover injuries to fullback and maybe halfback at a pinch it may be our best option. alternative is crookes on bench who can only cover Centre spots or give hyde or horton a shot.

Old Mr Jones went to his surgery for his annual health check. The practice nurse said to him, Mr Jones you have to stop masturbating. Why, he said. Because I'm trying to examine you she replied

Explains why Deacs over the last few years has frantically tried to get rid of his schoolboy cutie look.

I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.
