Whilst Bailey did his usual again yesterday it was good to see a bit of biff from your guy.
By the way where do Sandal Spartans play their home games?
I used to watch the Walnut Tree ARLFC play at Sandal many years ago and they had a decent team then.'"
I don't know about more, but [isome[/i old school front rowers certainly add value from a spectators point of view!
Spartans currently play at West Yorkshire Sports and Social - feel free to pop in next season; all match details are posted on our website.

That's not strictly true - we're also getting cover from a young player who is widely regarded as an excellent prospect; we are getting [isomething[/i out of the arrangement.

Trout is the better player in my opinion to do the covereing job next season. Ok Singleton my
turn out to be very good oneday but can't see the point of bringing him in on a short term deal
to add a bit of cover.'"
I like you was particulurly looking at Singleton in view of the speculation of him coming to us and I'm afraid I did not see anything from him that was better than what we already have in Kyle Trout or had in Matt James.
He took it up but so did Trout but I thought Trout did a lot more in covering and getting back when we were split. He may be one for the future but I don't see anything better than we already have for cover and it seems to me that Leeds would be getting the better of the deal by us bringing on one of their youngsters whilst it may hold back one of our own.

| On the basis that the club and Mr Agar have said that we are looking at a couple of players in and it seems likely that at least one of these will be a Front Row Forward, then maybe Trout may get pushed down the pecking order, but he will have helped his own cause yesterday regardless of who the new player(s) may be.

We definately do see it all differently.
I thought Singleton was one of the best forwards on the pitch and took some tackling. Glad Poore didn't take his head off with that tackle now! He is only 20 and is 6ft 4 inches tall & 16 stone so could play prop/second row where he has played for Leeds. Look him up.
He will be good value for money I can see why R.A. has gone for him. He will push Mariano & Wilkes for their spots on the bench due to his flexibility & if Washbrook gets injured can go to loose forward as we need Aiton at hooker. He is hopefully a bargain loan signing and what Wakefield need with Mariano, Wilkes, Raleigh and Amor injured. I remember the doubters about Sykes signing last season and look what happened......
I like Trout but thought he didn't have the impact yesterday that Singleton had and is an out and out second row only. Its a long season and we were lucky last season with injuries. He'll get more chances in his natural position.

We were obviously looking for an established superleague prop on a permanent contract and ended up with a relatively untried loan signing. All we are doing is help develop him for Leeds as there is no way we will end up with him permanently this time. Sorry but we may as well have kept Matt James.'"
Look what happend to Amor

Most Leeds fans seemed to agree with me, can't say he stood out. However he has potential but that's all, personally I'm with others on here I just don't see what he offers over Trout for example - not at this point in his career anyway. Clearly wasn't what AG was after, seems an odd one.

| If Singleton comes he comes, if he doesn't he doesn't. Like has been said, if he turns out to be another Amor then its a shrewd bit of business.
We are lucky to have the Props we have in my opinion. Yes, we are one down but I would imagine that one will be coming in very shortly- and if that is Singleton then so be it.

The Leeds lot rate him massively, so he must have something about him.
I thought the kid looked pretty good yesterday nothing more but it's hard get a proper opinion of him in a pre season friendly, a lot of the players on show looked under cooked.

| Thought Singleton looked a decent prospect yesterday but was very impressed with Trout's workload especially in the absence of Poore. My preference on the limited action i've seen of Singleton would be that it'd be a silly loan in that there is little to split the two. I'd hope Trout is given the opportunity to develop and experience more SL games especially when he handled himself relatively well last season.

Trout will feature a fair bit next season IMO, as a back row forward.

Does he offer more than Trout, didn't see it myself.
