I watched Greenwood closely on Saturday for England Knights, he was average at best.

Not 100% sure what your point is?

Has Isa for example been anything but average in a Wigan shirt? I'm sure you'll point out to a handful of games when he's done well, but you can easily do the same with Greenwood.

Greenwood, imo, has fallen into that category where everything he does is criticised by the fans. Sadly it's a common thing too - look at Marshall Vs Burgess, Marshall drops a ball and no one bats an eye, but if JB does the same then everyone is all over him. Tomkins had it when he was here, he'd pass the ball for a winger to run it back and get shot down, but yet he'd set 2 or 3 opportunities up in the same game. Compare that to everyone's darling in ZH who is all heart, but no brain.

Is it really such a big deal playing on one side or the other at SR? I can't remember any other player mentioning this as an issue. I'd understand it more at centre where you're passing more.

Yes its a massive difference, your used to tackling in the main with the outside shoulder, so everything is opposite way around. Farrell started the season there and by his own admissions struggled there. Personally Greenwood would have to play there and not Farrell if Greenwood is still here. I hope Greenwood finds that spark to his game again but i have some doubts about him. Hope he proves me wrong next year.
