Best luggage allowance Aus to UK Gold Member (Etihad or Singapore)

Hi

Trying to work out the luggage allowances on the various reward flights, call centre couldn't give a definite answer on this one.
If I book the any seat reward I can pick Getaway/Elevate/Freedom which has defined baggage
The Economy Reward seat doesn't seem to tell me - anyone have any experience of those and the baggage available?

I used to worry about limits until I read this Leisure / Business Travel Packing List - Travel Light (One Bag)!

But if you can't cut down the info is here

I haven't seen reward flights offering different allowances to normal revenue tickets. So if one airline offers 32kg for paid it would be the same for a reward seat in the same class

Thanks,
a lot more digging has them showing the Economy Reward as the Discount economy ticket which doesn't matter on Singapore but does on Etihad, as I'm emigrating back I'm off to check the price of 23kg of air freight vs the ticket difference to step up

Thanks

and as an update the cheapest Economy Reward gets you 2x23 with Singapore, very happy to have just got my trip taken care of with Points and the travel bank
