Oh yes he will.

Well I was proved wrong.

Halley had a shocker today where's all the posts slating him.

I think Shocker is a bit harsh. And why should he be slated after he has been so good for us this year?

Under no circumstances did he have a shocker. It wasn't his best performance by any means but it wasn't a shocker.

How dare you say anything about the 'golden boy', we all know he can do no wrong. Whenever he gets the ball the crowd clap, at one point today he caught the ball and ran about three metres, the crown went wild clapping him, quite pathetic really.

He was poor today, out of position, missed tackles, couple of poor passes and generally looked like he couldn't be bothered. He's been talked up on this site since he's been playing at fullback, sure when we have been winning he's had a couple of good games. The problems start and he becomes totally exposed when we are losing and he has to do some work, he's totally out of his depth.

The supporters... supporting their players? Disgusting.

Hmmm. I bet Platt wishes he could be afforded the same sort of leeway that the crowd awards to Halley on a regular basis.

Fans will always have their favourites and players who they constantly seek to blame. We have a few on here who look for any opportunity to criticise Halley too.

He doesn't deserve any leeway, he's made far to many goofs in his Bulls career upto date to be afforded any as such.
Halley deserves the praise he gets, because he performs well with the occasional odd game, where as Platt performs poor, with the occasional good game.

It's spreading.

I agree. I also think Platt works the goal line far better than Halley and his physical presence would have been an asset today. If Platt had shown the indecision Halley had on the sideline and then knocked on under pressure as Halley subsequently did he'd have been murdered on here. Platt's a scapegoat, as we know, he's done some dumb things, but he's nowhere near as bad as some make out.

Another sensible post.

I think most reasonable fans can think of positives and negatives for both players. I think Platt's one on one defence is also stronger than Halley's. I agree that Platt has at times come in for some unfair criticism and I have fought his corner on occasions. But this year Halley has on the whole been the much better player for us. Personally I feel much more at ease when a kick is being gathered by Halley. But less confident when a big prop breaks through one on one like we have seen in the last two games.

And you have to remember he has far less experienced at FB than Platt so he should continue to improve with further gametime.
