Singleton coach Kerrod Holland, who is stepping down at the end of the season, said he was extremely proud of the playing group and that the club was now in a strong position after a year of hard work by the committee and coaching efforts.
"They pulled the heartstrings to get me back initially. Honestly, they were going better; if they weren't getting mercy ruled and coming last, I would have never gone back," Holland said.
"I didn't like seeing the club like that. So I put my hand up, and it was always only ever going to be for one year.
"I wanted the club to be in a better position than when I found it, and I think I've done that, and the club moving forward is looking really good and very strong for the coming years."
Holland will be handing the reins over to hooker Joel Brown, who scored a double for Singleton in Saturday's win. Blake Andrews and Tyler Ward also scored singles, while Nic Lawrence and Tylar Carter scored tries for Greta Branxton.
Holland said fullback Beau Parnell was outstanding, and the Blake brothers and 18-year-old prop Nate Rothall had fine games.
