Sorry Gotcha but you've completely lost me

Are you saying he was disillusioned at Leeds but not now? because you wrote [i"That would have some merit, if I had ever said he was dissallusioned at Leeds"[/i

It was Leeds making him go to Hunslet and not picking him for the first team

He's now trying to imply that Singleton was completely dissalusioned with being on dual Registration at Hunslet. He's trying to imply that doesn't mean Singleton was dissallusioned with leeds. As if Leeds had nothing to do with the decision to send him to Hunslet.

It's fog knitting at it's best.

He says some stupid stuff but is then very clever at knitting his way out.

Listen, and apologies sincerely if I have this wrong, but I think you are just taking the mickey now

Clear, I have not said or intimated that he felt disillusioned playing at Leeds. I have said that interview came across has though he felt disillusioned (past tense), in being out on dual reg rather than playing at Leeds. I further stated that the comment about playing each week at Hunselt, rather than coming across as a positive, was an after though as he followed up by saying, not like he had anyhere else to play.

Well that has cleared things up..............................

I read Singleton's description of the actual quality of Championship vs U20s (let alone U19s) as the CHampionship simply better preparation for SL. His happiness or otherwise with being played there is irrelevant. Is any player ever going to be happy NOT playing first team?

Given that all SL clubs should be developing their own talent and have no reserve teams, there will always be a very limited number of SL loan spots available (shortly to fall significantly as 2 clubs disappear). That means that right now for most players who hit 19 who are not first team regulars the only option is the Championship.

That in turn will mean every year some kids leaving every SL club. We saw it at the end of last season, and will again this year. The hope is that clubs firstly spot and retain the right young players, and that as many of the rest as possible stay in the game - whether in the Championship directly or via a stint in Aus.
