Cuthbertson, Singleton, Peteru

If everyone is match fit would this be the starting pack.
Crosby,Parcell,Ava longname
Ferres,Merrin.
Ward
Subs Oledzki,C.Smith,Cuthbertson,Dwyer/Singleton

Ava has not started a game in years as he? I would guess he would be continue the same here as a sub.

Crosby did very well end of last year, but has been out yet again for a long time. Do people really see him coming back the same? Just something not right there.

Singleton looked finished, has been poor for a few seasons. Last few games though he looks one of the picks of our pack. If he continues in the same form then he would be before a lot.

Cuthbertson has looked very poor, but hopefully that is down to injury and fitness, rather than finished.

Crosby Parcell Singleton
Ward Smith
Merrin

Subs Albert, Ava, Dwyer, Oledzki/Peteru

That gives us plenty of impact off the bench and of course depends on Crosby and Ward ever putting in a shift and Singleton playing like he has done recently.

We would have Ablett, Ferres, Cuthbertson, JJB, Holroyd, Muzzi, Trout and Walters to fit in at least.
For me JJB and Ferres to be moved on or retired.

Oledski is under now threat only 21 and already a reguler first teamer.

i Think Albert has been signed to replace Crosby hence short term deal, either Crosby is pretty much done for the season or the vast majority of it. Cuthbo does seem to have lost his edge was one of the best forward in the league a few years ago looks a shadow of that now. Singleton just not good enough, looked ok around peacock Kylie but now been asked to step up a level and cannot do it.

Singleton's chortle-worthy yardage numbers weren't so much of a problem when we had Peacock and Leuluai. But they are distinctly unfunny if that's all he can do when he is relied on to be one of the pack leaders.

Regardless of how it all works out, the best possible outcome will be for all the existing forwards to start playing as though they understand that moving forwards places need to be earned. That's why I'm pleased that even though Merrin and Ava aren't here yet, Trout has been named in the squad for Hudds.

Had a great game yesterday ran hard and straight when required and only used/looked for the offload when safd to do so.

Albert 136 metres 3 offloads
Peteru 108 metres
Oledski 82 metres
Singleton 67 metres

When Merrin and Seumanufagai are here I can’t see Singleton getting a game.

Agreed. Think his days are numbered tbh. He can't tackle either

Come back when he's put in a "must win every game" quality consitent season not 2 games v part timers & an ordinary Giants team.

The comment is fair enough but he can only play against what he's played against.

He looked ok against HKR and certainly not the worst performer, Workington is hard to judge given the gap in quality but did a professional job and looked good against Hudds. Not sure what else he can do at this point.

He was poor against KR too many blind offloads & like the rest of the pack weak in defence

The Jury is still out , not one for me from day one but to be fair to the guy i thought he played well against a poor Midgets side
