I think this is a good move, although helways seemed in-between a prop and SR - I reckon Agar sees him as an agile bench prop rather than put and out second rower?

He's seemed out of sorts at Wigan and maybe he hasn't fitted in with their style of play, hopefully we can get the potential out of him, I wanted us to sign him from the Titans so glad he's seen sense at last

I hope there is a buy on clause in the contract because if there isn't and he has a belting 2 months then we will have paid his wages for two months, got him match fit for him to then go back to Wigan and add strength to them at a more vital stage of the season.

I was going to post this a day ago ,but I didnt think it would get past first base

bit of a meh. we need a prop

Re: Loan In | Joe Greenwood : Tue Feb 25, 2020 9:21 am  

Im happy with this. Theres a decent player in there and he could make an impact off the bench for us so it will be interesting to see how it pans out. Bit of size about him. He could even start if Ward isnt back.

Evans was only really signed to add cover while Luke Briscoe was out early season who was supposed to be covering Handley and Newman.

Good move by the club to add Greenwood.

I'm a bit on the fence on this one. On the one hand, I don't see him as a prop. On the other, we might have signed Tony Clubb….

And if, after a few games, his spirit is proving as lacking as some claim it might be worth calling in JP for a one to one with him to explain what we need from him. Personally, I reckon he'll have a big point to prove and could go well.

He's always flattered to deceive to me. Picks some good lines close to the line which gets him the odd try, but that just hides the lack of an all round contribution.

That would be the same Tony Clubb who scored the greatest ever No Try past Brett Ferres last season.

Greenwood hasn't even stood out in the reserves this season from all accounts, so perhaps a change of scenery is what he needs. If you want to take him on permanently so we can free up some cap space, that'd be lovely. If you happen to know anyone interested in a rarely used M. Escare, please send them on to Kris Radlinski.

We still might be looking. I think this is a good move. We do have a lot of SR'S but most are squad players at best.

Surely he's an improvement on Liam Sutcliffe in the pack?
