Platt is back on Thursday.

Are you sure? Platt has said on his twitter account that he is unable to confirm whether he will be fit or not for the leeds game.

I'm going on Connor's twitter feed. The squad should be up shortly anyway, I'll no doubt look a fool.

what is connor's twitter?

I hope not, not to save your blushes but we really need Platt back on the pitch.

@MurphyonBulls

thanks

found him. Reading his comments it seems he wants to see Kearney back in the halves and Briggs dropped. I don't think thats a bad shout against Leeds really. Kearney has been excellent so far this season despite not being a recognised 6. Even though Briggs played well in patches at MM I think his confidence will be low after Saturday. But the problem is...when does Potter then decide to give him his chance? There are no easy games for us this year.

My only worry about Thursday is our inability to play for the full 80mins. In fact, apart from Cas (and even then we had our slow patches), we have dropped off for at least 20mins in every game this year.

I just want to see a solid performance.

I know this may get some people on my back, but I think Whitehead needs dropping too. He is having a poor season so far, making too many errors and missing too many tackles.

i honesty think the lads will turn up for this game and play there hearts out they know themselves it means so much the them , the fans , and the whole club ..
we are never going to get a better chance of beating the whino's who look themselves to be on there a**e ....
finger's crossed that platty , langers , and paddy all back for thurs !! imo we sure need them (is langers near recovery ?)
platty & ainy have played well together as i think herbi & bk also doing well...
look im no coach but would love to see shad back in his most natural position at full back and bring bk back into halfs ...
let's get behind the boy's and hope they give us something to cheer about ...

He had another shoulder op yesterday and is out for 4 weeks according to Connor Murphy's twitter feed.

When does the squad come out?

And tbh if they don't play with Pride and Passion in a derby against Leeds then obviously they are only here for the paycheck.

I read that as being tactics ie not confirming until the last minute but could easily be wrong

The squads already out, check the Bradford Bulls v Leeds Rhinos thread. No Sykes or Briggs
