| Quote: bobsmyuncle "Perhaps Halley's positional nous is no better than Platt's but he is using his pace to put himself into better positions as needed in developing a defence, and also for running the ball back so gaining ground towards his forwards.
Platt's overall pace is reasonable but pretty poor from a standing start which IMO leaves him exposed to repositioning.'"
My impression is Halley's not catching the ball on the run, nor is he letting it bounce so he looks to be more ready, which makes me think he knows better where he needs to be.
Platt's not slow but there are too many occasions where either he's not getting to the ball so it's bouncing or he's stretching to get there putting himself under pressure. If you improve that part of his game he can compensate for being slightly slower off the mark and once he gets up to speed he is more physical than Halley so should be able to break the tackle more often.

Yes, you make perfect sense.'" It's not all about height it's more to do with build and all the others still playing are bigger built than Halley.

I agree, but he's not actually that small buit when you stand him next to other players.

| If Halley is 5' 11", I'm a giant. (Height wise, not just width wise!)

| Dave was recorded as 5'9" when they put the squad up on the Bulls official website. But I suppose to be fair, he might have grown.

| platt is not good enough, he is so unsafe its untrue although he had a great games against cas and saints but need to get rid of him not good enough and halley will be a star once he works on his defence and he is very safe and most importantly quick which the bulls need. Platt for great britain.

AND a full stop!
I reckon Varky just copied his bit from some legal agreement he was working on, and changed a word or two?

1589.jpg when two opposite points of view are expressed with equal intensity, the truth does not necessarily lie exactly halfway between them. It is possible for one side to be simply wrong.:1589.jpg |

| I am reliably informed by BSC's recent poll in the off-season that Dave Halley is 50% better than Platt. FACT.
