As I said, there's no way you can criticise his defence. He never seems to struggle in that side of his game.
However last night, I was deliberately watching Langley. In the last few games I'd thought he was poor in attack, so I kind of made a point to watch him specifically, to see if I was just not noticing good things (as can easily be the case).
Sadly, all it did was confirm my original thoughts that in attack, he is doing nothing at all. If the game was on tv, I'd have recommended watching the replay and watching him particularly, as I did. He offered absolutely nothing in attack.
However in no way do I think he's the only one doing this, just one that seems to have stood out for me this season.
As far as the rest of your post goes though, I think you're fairly spot on with the lot. I fully agree that Platt is getting singled out unfairly when, apart from the mistake he made from the 40-20 last night, I didn't think he was that bad.
Also agree with us making the chances and just not finishing them. In fact, I sent a couple of texts at half time and a little into the second half to the tune of "we're all over them, we've had all the possession, the game is pretty much played in their half, we're just not finishing it off".
Oh, and regarding the in-goal touch judge, I was complaining about that a little at the game. Not because I thought it was a try or anything, as I was at the wrong side to see if it was or not. But how the touch judge at the side seemed to somehow have a better view than the bloke stood two yards in front of it, I'll never know. Either one was over-ruled, or the bloke stood in-goal was completely and totally useless, coz at the end of the day, those rulings are exactly what he's there for.
