Michael platt joining us for the rest of the season.

IMO a strong squad player, and good cover for Jake if he is injured or needs resting?

Can't say this thrills me, would rather have Evalds getting game time with us then sign a player past his prime

Agree. I'd see Evalds as the cover we need for Jake.

Before anyone jumps on the Niall Evalds bandwagon, what if Jake Mullaney doesn’t get injured and Niall is sat in the stands for the remainder of the season? The kid needs regular game time and he will get that at Barrow. This is absolutely the right thing to do, despite how odd it seems.

Michael Platt will provide cover at full-back, wing and centre should we need it (Leeds will be his first appearance I would imagine).

Good john wilky last looked out
on the pitch at salford.
when the snow lay round about
deep and crisp and even
brightly played the lads that night
though the frost was cruelllll
when poor swinton scored a try
we had 94urrrrrrrrrr

You have to be kidding? First Harris now Platt, this stinks of Salford 5 years ago, massively underwhelmed.

Re: Michael platt : Thu Apr 17, 2014 11:57 am  
I see this signing as cover for Gleeson and S'au in the centres where we are a bit thin. Other than switching Meli from the wing
what other option do we have? I guess a bonus is his versatility to play fullback also.

I appreciate this isn't a signing to get the pulse racing but it could be invaluable if we pick up injuries as the season progresses.

He's been training with the squad for the last 10 days on a trial basis too, so I assume they're happy with what they have seen.

I must admit, it does feel a bit underwhelming, but I'm going to reserve judgement until he's had a bit of game time.

Re: Michael platt : Thu Apr 17, 2014 12:25 pm  
With cap restrictions, he will come cheap, so on that basis understandable. We do not have room under the cap to bring in big names at this point in the season. He will spend most of his time in the stands, but is experienced whatever anyone thinks of his abilities. He gives cover across the three quarters and full back if needed.
