Wynnum-Manly lock, the brother of 1978 Test prop Greg Platz, first represented Queensland against NZ in 1973. Platz was a regular member of Queensland's state sides in the 1970s and earned a place in Australia's World Cup team in 1975. His move to Sydney, where he played with P’matta and Penrith, met without similar rep success.
