I wasn't going to mention it but as others already have:

Singleton's 1st grade debut was on the 11th March 2011 in the comfortable home win V Salford.

I thought Lee Smith had his best game in a rhinos shirt for some time

crap opposition etc, etc, but still, looked sharper and more involved, a bit more like the pre-union Smith

I thought our defence was very good for the most part. London may not be the best opposition but our poor ball control ensured we had plenty of defending to do in our own 20 and we looked solid.
Singleton looked a willing runner and it would good to see him get another chance. Peacock played a long spell and that may have been due to Griffin getting injured early on but it would have been nice if Singleton had played a longer spell. I thought Smith did ok considering he was playing out of position, especially in the 2nd half. Ablett was excellent and there cannot be many sides who have a better 3rd choice/backup centre.

A green stripe on my fixture list, optimistic comments on here (apart from good old Keith) I hope Bradford was this seasons version of Catalan last year and that we have bottomed out and are on the way back up

IIRC he didn't get a great deal of game-time on his debut either.

That was me mate but to put it into context i thought Chisolm deserved a chance for his cracking form in the u20's and that if any of Hall or Bjb were to drop out then i said it should be Bjb after seeing the team struggle for the last 3 matches.
I'll also add Smithy put Hall and Bjb in for tries in the 1st half so was more involved than he's got credit for in that time imo.

Maybe because he looks completely different, he must have grown 2 inches in height, and is starting to fill out nicely..i thought he looked way too small on his debut, but have definately revised that opinion.

I thought it was about 10 minutes at the time tvoc!

Let's hope we didn't bring Burrow back too soon as he took another knock on that shoulder.

Rob said on Twitter that it was nothing serious and he should be good for Friday.

Ablett & Delaney had stand out games today. Clarkson still needs to step-up his game. Peacock should have been rested in my opinion.

I don't think the score truly reflected the game, London were bad but we were awful for the 1st 20 minutes and the score only blew out towards the end. Smith looked absolutely nackered in the first half, does he have a different conditioner to everyone else ? It was nice to see us score some quality tries after looking clueless in our last 3 games and it's some reward for the fans who witnessed those displays. Singleton looked OK but I think he could do with a few more kilos on to cause some real damage. Ablett had a stormer and was my MOM by a mile. It was nice to be entertained but against better opposition you can't give them the ball and territory for the first 20 minutes like we did today.
