I wouldn't if I was Achurch either. Does seem to be very poorly treated that guy, regardless of opinions of him. Even with the poorest opinions he is still leagues above Walters as a player.

The continued selection of Walters is baffling.

Noticed Singleton's other half has just had a baby, so whether that's the reason he's missed out the last couple of weeks I don't know. Certainly wasn't the worst of the props on show at Wigan, but then again neither was Garbutt.

He is focusing on his Business along with attempting to get back into the 1st Team. Decent, down-to-earth bloke. Not a bad Rugby Player either.

reading between the lines Leeds tried to offload him and he dug his heels in so has fallen out of favour. He has probably only played a couple this season due to our injuries Can't blame Achurch for looking out for himself, but now players are coming back i don't see him in a Leeds shirt again.

Don't think Garbutt can go on dual reg for the same reasons Kylie couldn't? Anyway, if he's playing on Monday you wouldn't really want him to have a Friday game too.

All rumour of course, but allegedly Mac told Garbutt to pack his bags and ***k off ! why I don't know !

Weird that Mitch was at Headingley a couple of hours ago doing a Rhinos Foundation presentation then.

Would have to have been something serious for Mcdermott to say that to Garbutt if true, he's been fantastic since his arrival last summer.

Just a suggestion but could Garbutt's exclusion be fitness related? He was a big lump when he came over but I would've thought a full pre-season with us he'd looked a bit better body wise but if anything he's turned into a bigger lump this year.

Garbutt hasn't been as effective or impressive as last season yet and looks a bit overweight. But he is not alone in being out of form. Singleton looked our worst prop against Wigan IMO.

Our defence has been something of a shambles and Mac is bound to be upset if players are not keeping to the game plan. There are always things we aren't aware of that are behind selection decisions. With JJB's successful return and promising and enthusiastic performances from Mullally plus Ablett back gives the coach more freedom in selection. I am sure Garbutt and Singo will very soon be contesting selection once again.

All the players are underperforming in the basics and searching for their best form and sharpness... something a coach cannot do anything about except drop the players concerned. But when injuries and lost form conspire together even this solution is not available as he runs out of bodies.

Once the team is back to full strength I feel sure we will start to see form return and if the table toppers start to have similar problems they too will drop some points. So keep the faith.

Mitch Achurch missus wrote on Facebook today that 'she cannot wait for her and Mitch to return to home soil next season' so that to me suggests they already know what's happening next season.

Are you sure it wasn't just a visit to home soil? His Business in Leeds seems to be the focus for Mitch.

No issues like that in the camp. Just BS.

Indeed, he's Leeds selection for the rugby am rowing challenge, maybe Mac has him focussed on bringing us some early silverware with that prestigious trophy.
