We all know that if McDermott isn't keen on a player then they don't really play at all (Robbie Ward, Amor) regardless of injuries so you really are reaching to say he's not keen on Singleton.

Thing is we don't know his reasons for dropping them for the last two games. It may be a very harsh reason.....on the other hand he might well be justified in dropping them from the squad (let's be honest it isn't because of their performance at Wigan so something else has gone on).

Given they are both in the squad for wakey can we put this to bed now?

There really could be any number of reasons and it's not something the club would comment on anyway.

How about the birth of a child on the day before the match for Singo..

Has Singleton even been dropped? Or is it just
guess work?
If his partner was due or just had a baby maybe
he's done what most fathers to be would do and
had or requested some paternal leave. He's entitled
to a couple of weeks I believe?
If she hasn't had it yet maybe his mind hasn't
quite been on it in training - not surprisingly.
Can't see any issues there personally.

I forgot, he is a young player so he musnt be as good as the established ones, no way would he get in over at least Leuluai and delany on merit.
