Ben Cross wants his shirt back.

Cuthbertson is the only Aussie forward I would have at the club now. The rest are awful. Delaney has been a real worker but he's totally crocked. Beaten himself to a pulp. Why that total sack of s*****te Achurch is still at the club is a mystery Hercule Poirot would be baffled by. Or did "the great Sleve" right royally f*** up with his contract?

Singleton needs to make himself first choice on the team sheet. He just hasn't done enough to claim that. Frankly that's because he ain't that good. If he was he would have done it by now.

It could have been a damn sight worse pal as we were interested in signing Mossop,Now that is a very bad signing

If leeds had been winning and Galloway had been putting in the same level of performance he wouldn't be getting criticized to this extent. People would be saying things such as ''solid start, should improve'' ''decent hit ups, not very mobile but neither was kylie'' etc etc.

Singleton's done more than any other 23-year-old non-Burgess prop in the league. Wouldn't be writing him off as "not that good". He's not the finished article yet though. Similarly, Garbutt was excellent last year. However Mac does have a habit of falling out with props who've looked quite decent at other teams (Griffin, Cross, Amor, LBurgess)

Not sure how Mac can be so critical of props that have or have not been that good for the club as he was a plodder of a player himself IMO

TBH Mac wasn't really that good a player really was he?
IMO he looked far better than he actually was as he was playing in a dominant Bulls side with plenty of better front rowers that made him look good when he was on
He was certainly the worst player of "The Awesome Foursome"

We have three props that can play longer spells and two that are / should be looking burst tackles and make hard yards .

I don't think we have seen the best of Galloway by any stretch but he just isn't firing ATM. Lots of effort but not enough results.
Why the coach is going without Singleton and Garbutt but then picking a biff and barge game plan is odd.

I think he needs time, sadly with us losing he won't get that.

These days it has to be a memory from the 70's otherwise forget it, as I often do. Were these in WCC fixtures V Melbourne or Manly or am I still way off? Electric car charging on the way to Leeds again so no spreadsheets until tomorrow.

When given the chance Singleton (and Cuthbertson) have been Leeds' best prop/loose.

No idea why he's missing out on selection at present, makes no sense to me. I didn't agree with him being held back in 2014 either.

Played for souths in a game in Florida

Thanks for that. Spreadsheet won't be any use then as I've never tried to include pre/post season friendlies.

What a load of garbage. He's the coach of course he can be critical of players. Not every coach has been a world class player.

Spot on. Alex Ferguson was hardly a superstar player but didn't mind putting key players in their place when they needed to be or even get rid.

Falloon was playing for souths, cuthbo played for manly v Leeds in a wcc game if memory serves.

It appears he played in the first Leeds V Manly WCC game - the last one played at Elland Road (?)- watched some highlights from that game the other day, still can't recall seeing Cuthbertson
