Having now seen the stats he had the worst tackle completion of any forward (missing 6 despite only making 24), worst average gain of any forward (3.67 metres, wow), no busts and an error. and a penalty thrown in Mr combined team was pants.
I hope he has a long career in the cherry and white ![]()
As somebody who does pay a lot of attention to stats, especially when it comes to forwards, I will throw his performance in as one where you simply cannot rely on stats to tell the full story. Singleton was full of aggression, constantly talking, was in a running battle with James Graham and has just brought a confidence and leadership that has helped guys around him. Guys like Lees and Amor had slightly better stats but if you ask me who performed a more important role and helped their side more it would be Singleton by a street.
What I will say is he can’t keep knocking out stays like that every week or you do end up getting pillared when the results go the other way. It was a tough game with little room to move though and he more than did his job in that particular game. Mr Combined team would get in a combined team from the night IMO. Not that it matters like, we’ll leave him out and settle for the points instead.

Is exactly the point with Singleton. He has lifted the whole place and there isn’t a stat for that. I wouldn’t expect a Saints fan to have seen the online clips of him banging the drum after his debut win or interviews with other players singing his praises but they absolutely love him by the looks of things. The interviews have been gushing in praise and he is clearly see him as a leader already.

Sorry, you misunderstand. I meant the sustained pressure throughout the match of which the Singleton incident was a clear and visual marker. A show of the intent Wigan had brought to the match, if you will.
I think the unforced dropped ball was the 2nd incident (although that's not really relevant to the point I'm making). |

His interview after the match was so telling, he's just made up to have a chance to play and earn a living through RL after what's happened with Toronto. |

Singleton was a player I always looked out for. Years ago Stuart Fielding was coming back from an injury and played in the reserves/academy when you were allowed three overage players. Singleton played in that game as a young about seventeen year old and he went after Fielden from the start, very similar to the way he has done with the "bigger names" in the last three games.

Both were ineffective I agree, just Brad more so.'"
how long did each player do on the pitch? |
