Very good piece of business for me. When Savelio and Greenwood were at Saints thought we had the England back row for next 10 years.
Greenwood suffered a bad concussion last season, then lack of form/ confidence. Don't think Wigan is the most supportive club in that regard either. Agar seems to have a much more personable approach so may be just what Greenwood needs. Definitely won't be used as a prop though. Interchange second row, who'll get a few handy tries. I really hope he impressed and we make this a permanent signing.........

Agar has said he will be used as a middle so think he will be used as an interchange prop but can also be uses aa a 2nd row

I wouldn't be so sure

Agar said: “He is a big body and we have put it to him about playing as a middle here.

What does a 'middle' actually mean? Does that encorporaye second row. Why would we sign someone who is more of a racehorse than a mule to play prop?

It worked with Peacock, and no-one really saw it coming at the time.

Think I remember him having some concussions and complaining that he was still getting dizzy spells and didn't feel well enough to play. Wigan disagreed and wanted him on the pitch leading to a bit of a fallout.

If Agars sat enough to try and turn him into a prop he'll be back at Wigan after 2/12.
Try scoring second row is his position.....

Maybe so, that’s the beauty of this deal IMO we’ve absolutely nothing to lose

Re: LOAN IN | Joe Greenwood - Two Month : Tue Feb 25, 2020 6:41 pm  

If he can get back to his pre-NRL form hes better than Martin if it doesnt work at prop he can move back to 2nd row. Like people say thats the beauty of loaning him to try before we buy.
