Poor man's Ian Wilkinson. What about Alex Green - he faired really well at Burnden Park as I recall.

It should be said though that plenty of our knowledgeable 'fans' had a go at the immortal, legendary Keef during his career for having "no pace" and not being good enough in attack, allegedly poor under the high bomb, etc.

but to be fair you dont coach errors and individual mistakes - the coach didnt tell Platt to do what he did , the coach doesnt miss tackles etc.
its been clear to me when watching you this year that the players are not doing their jobs well enough - surely some or most of the blame should lie with them rather than the bloke who probably dispairs at the players as much as you lot do !

It is not the first time he has done this and ANY coach should have told him after the first time that when caught in that situation you die with the ball.

| That second half was terrible, and why top 'supposedly' players cannot tackle as we all saw, is unbelievable. Daft as it sounds there were some positives, and Nero looks a different player this year.
Unless we can build some defence I don't think we shall reach the last eight, and yet another wasted season. It was a terrible performance, and heads should roll. Somehow I am sure we will see little changes.

| Making the top 8 really doesn't bother me that much right now. Obviously I want to see the Bulls win as many as possible but we're a long way off being challengers. If we continue as we are, then we quite rightly deserve to finish in the bottom few.

I just want to see some passion displayed for 80 minutes per game.

Very few Bradford fans. A common misconception amongst other supporters but I'd say Mumby was just about the most highly regarded Northern player by our fans that I can remember.

| I won £130 on Platt scoring the first try in Cardiff MM (07).
I remember at the time thinking he was great, and not just because of the money either, he did seem like a great buy.

He was and is a great buy. The trouble is, due to a handful of well-publicised decisions which have led to tries, not all of which were "fault" on his part, he will now forever be a target for the boo-boys, even if he scores ten tries a game and never concedes one for the rest of his career with us.

I think one thing about Platt is he got off to a fantastic start at Bradford and then never hit the same run of form again. Inconsistent since and at full back a lot of your mistakes lead to tries and end up being highlighted. Now he's the fall guy highlighting his good plays doesn't happen (e.g. his well timed run and pass for Menzies try on Sunday hasn't been well noted).
