A Daniel Bates intercept sealed the Bulls’ 27-12 victory in the feature fixture – and propelled Singleton into the 2014 grand final.
Muswellbrook led early but struggled to match their rivals’ enthusiasm.
Singleton hit the front for the first time, right on half-time, courtesy of a converted try to Sam Walker.
This enabled the Bulls to go into the sheds ahead 13-7.
Singleton then dominated the second period to register a 15-point win.
In the reserve grade encounter, both teams were locked at 10-all until the Bulls grabbed two late tries to prevail 24-10.
Muswellbrook will get a second chance in the preliminary final this weekend.
