Quote: Gotcha "On what level do you say that Andy? Because the coaches are not picking him?
Your point may well pan out correct, but without the opportunity of first team rugby we just won't know. Griffin is also not been given opportunities, it's the decision of the coach rather than ability.
It's funny how a lot of these international academy lads over last couple of years considered best of their age are playing regularly at other clubs. Twelve months ago would Burke at Wigan really have been considered as good as Singleton? He's certainly ahead now,'"
On what basis are you saying that Burke is better than Singleton? The pair have - IIRC - played pretty much the same number of games at first team level. If Paul Prescott was fit, then Greg Burke probably wouldn't be in Wigan's 17.
I base my judgement on what I see of players when they play. What I've seen from Singleton is a lot of effort, but little (one offload on Boxing Day apart) that has made me stand up and go "wow".
It's still early in his career, he's got time on his side. At the moment though, if I was picking a four prop rotation to win a game for either Leeds or Wakefield, with everyone else in that position fit I wouldn't have him in either.
