Brad Singleton : Thu Dec 27, 2012 10:20 am  

Coming to us on loan from Leeds apparently. Thoughts?

I hope he isn't the new player we were looking to bring in...I was expecting someone with a little more experience and stature in the game.

Singleton however, could hopefully be another Kyle Amor...

After watching him yesterday I reckon this is a cracking bit of business if it happens, Rhino fans up in arms about it

Re: Brad Singleton : Thu Dec 27, 2012 10:56 am  

sounds about perfect to me, depending on the loan terms.

who exactly were you expecting "with more experience and stature"? - both these things cost money, which is alot for a 4/5th choice prop forward.

probably a good deal for all parties

As I understand it, the new players we were looking to bring in were experienced, but both have gone with bigger money offers; on balance, I'm ok with setting a value and refusing to exceed it - that's good business.

Brad Singleton sounds like a good prospect and as you say, if he turns out like Amor, we'll do ok out of the deal.

Exactly what I thought. If it works out half as well as Amor I'm happy.

Obviously a Leeds reject blah blah blah Leeds trolls.

Don`t think he is a Leeds reject at all mate.
Very highly thought of at Leeds by the fans for sure.
You are getting a good young prospect who will not let you down.
We will continue with the Dads Army front row at Leeds where it is thought Singleton would not get much of a look in.
He probably thinks he will get more game time at your place with Mr Poore getting plenty of bans this year

Touche!

Justin Poore has played 20 minutes for WTW and has already out pantomime-villained Ryan Bailey.

Classic Poore - he does what he wants.

Just can not see why we need Singleton. Did not go yesterday but have been told by several who did that Trouty looked a better player. It may be that Singleton may come to us on a short term loan for a bit of cover as we do not yet know if all of Wilkes, Raleigh and Amor are going to ready for the start of the season. Will Poore get a bam etc etc. Anyway I would rather us play Trouty at prop than sogn Singleton.

Re: Brad Singleton : Thu Dec 27, 2012 12:15 pm  

I watched Singleton closely yesterday and also watched our present '5th prop', Kyle trout.
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.

Re: Brad Singleton : Thu Dec 27, 2012 12:22 pm  

I didn't think trout did himself any favours yesterday at all. Stepped a few times which led to a couple of tries, dominated when running the ball in, it showed prop isn't his position and he should only be used in a crisis in that position.
