I thought Platt played well, looked solid in defence and good going forward. Everyone goes on about how nervous he looks, well all the crowd going 'ooooohhhhhhhh' when he is about to catch a ball doesn't help, most of the nerves seem to stem from the crowds attitude.



He made a mistake or two, so did a lot of the players. What about Jeffries not passing the ball in first half when a try was clearly on? What about Scruton loosing the ball in two tackles and twice knocking on in good positions? What about us knocking on and not being able to see out the last set of 6 and take the win? It always seems to come back to Platt yet Platt is not the problem.

I disagree if you put Wellens in any other teams bar Saints and Leeds and he'sd look average.

He's like Dave Halley too small to be effective. The best fullback we've had who hasn't played first team rugby was Nicky Saxton.

Is she available off quota

from what I've seen of him I'd agree to an extent although he does seem to be a bit better than halley at that stage and I dont think size is as massive an issue for a fullback as it is for a winger.Also was one of standout players in the oz tour thing last year so he must have potential. Was mentioning him in response to post that we had Nobody coming through academy.

She should be. She is also a good bit younger than Steve Menzies so that helps bring down the average age of our side.
