Raw and lean but I liked the venom and enthusiasm with which he took the ball up. Also a nice attempted off-load which nearly came off. Good to see.

I suspect, in very limited game time, he doubled the amount of carries Kirke has done in two specific games this year. Showed all the qualities so lacking in Kirke and I've said many, many times that there must be some better willing young kid in our academy than the gentle giant.

I am being harsh bringing this up because Kirke actually was somewhat improved last night but I am afraid those displays are all too rare and even a much improved Kirke is no great shakes.

Definate improvement last night. Drove the ball in hard, a few offloads, plus some good,hard tackling-a bit like you on a Monday!

I liked the look of the kid Singleton, plenty of vigor, as brian noble might say

Yeah, he's small but he doesnt check his run. Did he lose a collision last night? Often he seemed to be knocking a couple of players back. I liked the look of him a lot.

If it helps Gareth, when Kirke dropped an easy-ish offload in the first half, I was thinking of you.

Every time he hits the ball up I think of Gareth

I was impressed with Singleton last night. He seemed pumped up and willing to put his body on the line. All he needs to do now is bulk up with some muscle which will come with time and he could be a good player for the future

You are Sal Paradise and I claim my... (jeez is that joke old yet? It seems it)

I'm actually Purple Aki and can't wait for his biceps to bulge

Agree it was a promising debut from the youngster but also lets credit kirke this week fellas he did the business last night imo along with Jjb and the rest of the pack.

I did.

I also think of Harrigan and Wheels but not whilst I am watching rugby. It's during my private time.

Far too much detail mate and no where near as good as the "midget under yer desk" posts!

At the same time or separately?

I thought in the curcumstances the stand in props in particular were very good. even kirky, with JJB put alot of minuted in anf being reasonable effective against what was salfords first 13 pack.

well done boys thought we were on for maybe a loss but credit where it is due fantastic effort.

It was good to see Sinfield, Senior etc getting him involved straight away and helping him to settle in.

He actually took 3 hit ups in the first set of 6 when he came on.
