Halley is much better IMO.

The cut out pass yes but who put the ball down under the sticks

yeah and his showboating came within six seconds of costing us the match. He could have put it down in the corner and guaranteed a win but he had to show off and put it down under the sticks- could have backfired big style if hooter had gone while he was jogging across. And dont tell me he knew exactly how much time was left on clock.

On current form platt is our best fullback. sykes had a bit of a mare last week and we only improved in last 20 when platt came on and all match reports I've read say halley was having a mare on saturday apart from the winning try, which even he says jeffries did all the work for.

Looking on SLS Halley had some trouble under the high ball, but so would any fullback barring perhaps Steve Hampson of old. They were superb kicks that really put the pressure on.

As for who should play fullback, I reckon it should be whoever is in the best form. It's good to have competition for places and now we have it for fullback and wing.

exactly - halleys ideal player to have on bench as cover for backs especially whilst godwins out. He can cover wing and fullback and keep the incumbents on their toes. Hard to justify dropping sheriffe when he's scoring good trys and platts improving steadily. halley on bench stops them slipping into their comfort zones. Also wonder if we've considered using dave as cover for the halves, as he was originally signed as a halfback.

How could it have backfired?

Would the hooter going have caused him to drop the ball, or kick it out?

try's not complete till he grounds it - if hooter had gone before he grounded it wouldnt have been a try
