Garbutt has been poor this year. McDermott doesn't fancy Singleton. Never has. Young players only play when there is no other option. Even then, they don't always get off the bench.
He played most of last year. Including selection in the big finals, not bad going for someone Mac doesn't fancy as you say.
Infact i would say the way Singleton has been managed up to now over the last few years has been excellent, playing him more and more every year to the point where before the wigan game you would have said he is automatic selection now in the 17, maybe the starting 13 even with everyone fit.
I wouldn't say Garbutt has been any worse than the other front rowers, he just hasn't hit the heights of his great start for us back end of last year.rather have him on the bench as an option at least than the bench warmer for 80 minutes like lilley was on thursday night, he would have been great to bring on with 20 minutes to go against the tiring Cas defenders.
