Think i must be the only one who rates him. I think he is top class. Never going to perform when not getting a run of games in an un-familiar position. I say persevere with him. Spend the off season transitioning him from the left to the right and we would reap the rewards i am sure. We would massively regret letting him go i reckon, but..... we don't know what is going on behind the scenes i suppose.

One of only two

I agree completely with you but if there is issues behind the scenes and this McMeeken rumour has legs, FWIW I don’t think it does, it would be a fantastic swap.

One of 3 then! Greenwood’s performance against Saints in the Super 8s was simply brilliant and if we can get him to perform like that consistently he’d be exceptional. I’m not sure the McMeeken thing is even a rumour. I think it’s just wishful thinking from a few people.

Yeah the McMeekan thing was originally mentioned as a rumour in a swap for Hardaker, then I mentioned on the rumours page how I wouldn’t mind him in a swap for McMeekan but it was more of wishful thinking then any sort of rumour.

Completely agree BRW. I think he’s been very unlucky with injuries and hasn’t been able to get going, hopefully all that is behind him and he can find that form that you quite rightly said was brilliant.

Greenwood needs a run of games clear of injury to get his spark back. You do not become a poor player over night and Greenwood is not a bad player but he has been very unlucky. What really is a shame is that we have two excellent left sided second rows but no senior right sided player as neither perform as well on that side. I could imagine one of them being left on the side-lines whilst one of the young lads fills the position on the right.

Make that four. Lam's not selecting him in the semi's was baffling given the forweards looked knackered. Isa in particular had completely run out of steam. Mind you both Bullock and Sammut were fit and he picked the same team that lost v Saints so maybe he's not got a downer on Greenwood as such but just made a mess of the selections.

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.

Re: Greenwood : Thu Oct 24, 2019 9:53 am  

No problems for our centres:- they don't pass!!!!

Re: Greenwood : Thu Oct 24, 2019 10:00 am  

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