Please please please let this be wrong

Holy shiz!

i read that too, he was awful when he was 1st here, he has grown a lot physically tho since and is older now and more mature compaired to then.
If he did come back he would count as a youth product be it our original one

Fullback/centre would give us options and keep everyone on their toes, for him to come back and right a few wrongs would be a massive challenge for him and the club.

Interesting......

That's actually a good question???

Thought platt had developed into a decent fullback and offers a different option to Fitzy.

Saying on the dulls site we are going to sign him surely not would rather have gary broadbent back than him

Thought that Platt's release from Salford was strange as he looked a decent prospect in the games he played for us in NL1,

Played well for Rochdale then Cas , pretty much an ever present for Bradford since 2007 , carried 3000 metres & 14 Tries for them in 07, 2000 metres & 16 Tries 08. 1900 Metres & 4 tries last Season in 20 Appearances in what was a struggling Bulls Side .

Have to say if he is linked with a move back to us it's a positive , have seen him do some 'odd things ' playing for Bradford so he should fit in well

I thought he'd signed a three year deal with Bradford a couple of years ago. Just before they realised he's rubbish.

Our Mystery "austrialin three quarter" has decided to stay in OZ according the MEN, doesnt bother me as i only want players who want to play for the club

Never forget Platt kissing the Bradford Bulls emblem on his shirt after scoring in front of the Salford fans at Bradford. Not a particularly tasteful thing to do.
I have a fair few friends who watch Bradford and their general feeling is that he's a risky player who's style achieved a fair bit at 1st but has recently become adept at cocking up....

Yeah never reaily got that, we released him because he was rubbish and our youth develpment at the time wasnt the best eather and now looks like he has been a late developer and has managed to hold a space down at bradford (a weak bradford side compaired to their hay day but are still a useful outfit when push comes to shove).
If we did sign him i wouldnt be unhappy about it until i see him perform and see if he has improved.

Isnt he a local lad?

Prestwich lad I believe.

He went to the same school as me (William Hulme's in Whalley Range) and was a couple of years above me. His sister was in the year below me as well. I always knew I recognised his name from somewhere but I only just remembered last year that it was him and didn't put two and two together that it was the same guy.

Well he certainly has the name for Union

Has something we clearly lack which is pace, Reminds me of ritchie barnett tall quick winger but shocking handling ability, will get targeted with the bomb.

If he signs or three quarters will probably be

Fitzy
McGilvery
Talau
Henry
Broughton

How small is that backline? the first four are about 5"8/9

Platt is a nut jub, who as just got back from a ban for drink driving, so we are getting rid of wishere to replace him with a below average player who has a criminal record longer than my arm?
What a great image to set to the family fans well done !!!!

I AGREE. IVE HEARD OFF A FEW PEOPLE THAT HES NOT THE NICEST FELLOW OFF THE PITCH

Gibson signed today for you guys, as i promised

Yes, just a few times



Only just noticed [url=http://reds.originalreddevils.com/2009/10/02/reds-promote-youngsters-to-first-team/this[/url on the official website.

Ben Wood and Marc Sneyd promoted to the first team squad from the academy.

Both promising players from what i've seen, good luck to them.

So our 6 new signing if rumours are true

Smith (replaced paul)
Gibson (replaced turner)
Platt (replaced wilshere)
Boyle (replaced stapleton)
Worrall (replaced nash)
Broughton (replaced white)

All young hungry british lads, im a bit concerned that we have let nash and stapleton have left for boyle to come in, although it would suggest that Parker is going to be used as a prop, im worried how in-experianced our team will be. Apart from gibson all the players we have replaced them with are younger in-experianced players which can go either way they could play with no fear and ive a good account of themselves or it could go completely the opposite. If our squad as rumoured we sign those players we will surely have the youngest first team squad in the superleague only talau, littler and alker will be over 30

dont know anything about worrall and broughton but checked broughtons statistics he scored 10 in 15 in the leeds junior academy and 5 in 7 for hull last season. so he sounds good

Was my player of the night at the Carnegie nines competition, was brilliant that night.

Thought we would have kept hold of him actually, to take over Scott Donald next year maybe, maybe the influence of First Team rugby at your place has drove him to you.

I hear Worralls a done deal now, from a reliable source.

Platt on your list of homegrown? played for your Academy didnt he? I may be wrong.
