Platt didnt even look reserve level yesterday, didnt want to know at all, if hes took his bat and ball home let him go, halley made a couple of mistakes today, but would platt have done any better, would anyone? saints got a roll on and faasavalu/puletua running straight at you is gonna make any fullback indecisive, maurie ran at halley but he stood his ground, slowed him down by going for legs, summat no other bulls player did, and made him offload to one of the many supporting players who was subsequently tackled, he could have backed off, or pooed his pants, i know most of us on here would if you had a 17stone monster running at you.

Halley did have a poor game today, but so did numerous others. I don't see anyone slating Burgess for example who really struggled today (probably his worst game for a couple of years). Menzies also struggled after the first 20 minutes or so.

In the same way as Burgess and Menzies though, Halley can be afforded the odd poor game when his form in other games has been excellent. If poor form continues, you'd hope he would lose his place and Platt be given another chance, as the better form player should always be picked. However slating him for one game seems a little OTT.

I'd also echo the point that in the same way some praise Halley no matter how he plays, others slate him no matter how he plays. One rather obvious example of which is on this thread.

Agreed. Menzies was the worse player on the pitch yesterday. Noone is slating him today.

Menzies was garbage. He should be sent back home immediately. Will that do?
BTW, Halley is not big enough for a top level FB.

Would you call Brent Webb a top level FB?

Webb: 175cm 83kg

Halley: 175cm 82kg.

When they are rougly the same height and weight? More force into the tackle = more chance of bringing them down. Force = Mass x Acceleration Halley has slightly less mass but a lot more pace resulting in a bigger force.

Looking at those stats, I would say both Halley and Webb were both very similar in physical attributes. Besides, full back is not a position that demands big players.

Stats should always be ignored when it disproves your argument. It's a known fact of forum debating. A tactic I have employed numerous times, since acknowledging said stat would be to admit you were wrong.
