For me, our most disappointing prop has been Singleton and by some considerable margin too.
I didn't expect anything of Clarke. Bullock has never really done it consistently and as for Clubb... the less said the better.
Wigan need Singleton to step up. He's the senior prop, but I'm not sure what he's offering? We talk about needing senior recruits, but this guy has 200+ 1st team games and has played for two of the biggest clubs in the country.
We don't need him to set the tone defensively. Isa and Bateman can do that. We need hard yards.
It isn’t his game though and never has been. He can’t perform a role he just isn’t capable of doing (or hasn’t shown he can in his career to date). You personally may have said the same thing you’re saying now during those games he played at the end of last season but plenty were singing his praises but are now bagging him, yet he’s performing much to the same level. He is statistically pretty much of a muchness and even won us a game with a couple of try’s last week. I’m not saying he couldn’t do more but he’s a decent player performing to a decent level IMO. He won’t knock out World class performances because he’s not world class. He shouldn’t be a first choice prop at a club like Wigan IMO but it’s what we’ve left ourselves with. He should be seen as your 3rd/4th choice ideally.
