It’ll take ward a bit no doubt to get up to speed after his lay off so I’d not expect him to have a great impact immediately. Better than ferres granted.

Agree ward will need time but 20-30 minutes from ward will start to help make us a little better.

It's hard to believe we might throwing in a hooker and a stand off with 10 games left and needing them to hit the ground running to keep us up.

Well, we did the same with a just a hooker 3 years ago and it worked.

Fair point but that year we sent Faux Balloon back home this time around we look likely to have exited Garbutt, Parcell and Kallum Watkins.

Although Sinfield is not going to die wondering which I'd rather have than sitting on our hands

Agree it’s crazy to be in this position but nothing can be worse than the current incumbents in the halves, hopefully if nothing else Lui arrival pushes Lolohea out early Sutcliffe is never played there again and Myler follows on his way out at the end of next year at the latest.

We also lost Hardaker that year aswell who was the current man of steel

Why does Singleton keep getting picked? He’s not good enough for Super League IMO

I had a look at Singleton's stats across a number of games, and his yardage per carry isn't terrible (although not at top prop level), but he does far too few. A bit 'Kirk-esque' really (where's G1 when you need him?). Merrin has similar yards/carry but runs in far more and makes a shedload of tackles as well.

Singleton was brilliant against Wigan, and he played very well against Wakefield. Thought he was rubbish against Saints though.

He’s the most aggressive player we have and at least shows some fight. Ability-wise, he seemed to peak a couple of years ago but I’ve seen nothing this year to get excited about.

Brilliant isn't a word anyone can use to describe any Rhinos player performance this season.
At best some players have been average whilst the rest have been poor.

You think Merrin's performances can be described as average?

How about Hurrell's 4 try display at KRnt? Average? Lol.

It's frustrating watching the good players we do have crumble under the weight of expectation and lack of quality from their teammates at the moment.
That's why I think if we can just fix up some balance/structural issues with some more quality, we could turn into a decent side quite quickly.
If the side can get Hurrell into decent ball more of the time he'll score tries for fun in SL.

Not long ago we were saying that about Watkins. Sad.

Singleton made 19 tackles, missed 2 tackles and gave away a penalty, he ran 29 metres in 5 carries.

For a starting prop forward that is embarrassing.
