Agree with this except on Toronto. He is a Billionaire and the club is Canadian. They aren’t and shouldn’t be entitled to the British government’s money, if anything Canada should have supported them not us. He knew how hard this gig was going to be but he is massively in denial abouts all the issues and problems TWP have is David Argyle. Paying on time, lawsuits etc there are many more, so to be fair it’s a team of average players except a couple or big wages. I have no sympathy for TWP just the players.

I agree. They would not be so cash strapped if they had not offered such a ridiculous salary for SL to SBW and continued recruiting after lockdown.

Their difficulties are mainly self-inflicted

Widdop is off back to the Dragons with Corey Norman going to Warrington.

Brad Singleton to Wigan looking likely.

About 5 years too late. He's always worked hard and been aggressive, but has always lacked the physicality required to take him to the next level. He's barely filled out since making his debut.

2015 was a great year from him but never really lived up to expectations from there on in, 2017 being an exception. My gripe with him was that for such a big unit he never seemed to make yards post first contact and was too easily handled by the opposition

Singo is a very good player.
Think we treated him harshly in the end. Big minutes, good defender, very few injuries.
We kept Crosby instead.....

Singo was a decent kid, who payed above himself as part of the last hurrah for the goldens, and was never the same player after Peacock retired. He's hardly what I would be hoping we would sign and is no better than giving Holroyd a chance for example.

Still, we all know Wigan are an NRL feeder club these days...

Very good player is stretching it for me.Once Peacock and Leuluai left he failed to kick on.I cant really remember him having a an outstanding game for Leeds from the 2016 season and onwards.His defence for mine was a bit sloppy and his metre gains i dont think was that great.He always seemed to run the ball in hard but always seem to fall at the first tackle.

With dispensation given to the overseas players from Toronto, I wouldn’t mind us looking at Darcy Lussick.

Elsewhere, Castleford have brought in Dan Fleming from Halifax immediately.

He wasn't even a very good player in the academy. He was however someone who had a great work ethic and desire to make it to the top. I always thought he came through at the right time when he didn't have to be a pack leader. I also think his game seemed to stall when the shoulder charge was banned. He was very good at those but never really kicked on to be a top notch prop
