Greenwood needs the game time. He has not been picked for the first team so far and he has not done enough in the reserves to get ahead of half a dozen youngsters who have been having a go. Mitch Clarke played himself into the starting squad through the reserves but Greenwood let himself be dominated by much younger and smaller players against Hull KR reserves. It is a shame because on a couple of occasions, at Wigan, he has been outstanding but every time he put a run of games together he got another injury and in coming back too soon got injured over again. A couple of month away probably suits all parties. Joe gets a clean slate, Leeds get a player who is capable of great things on his day and Wigan hopefully get a revitalised player back.

I don’t know the terms of the deal but Id be surprised if Leeds haven’t got a clause in there that they can offer him a contract if he goes well

15 years and several more moves later and he might rock up at widnes

For a widnes fan youve a lot of opinions about other clubs.

So what?

The head knocks really set him back last year and then sadly when he did play, he looked like he wanted to get off the field. He went down twice in games where as a fan you thought he had to have picked up a long term injury (a knee problem and then his ribs), only to then be told there wasn’t much wrong with him and he’d be available the following week. His performances in the reserves have been pretty wretched, with his body language and lack of involvement making it clear that he isn’t interested in using that system as a way of fighting for a place.

All the talent in the world but sadly he’s one of those big guys who hasn’t got the grit and attitude to go with it. I’m amazed Leeds are thinking of playing him through the middle. He’s an edge player all day long with his pace and line running.

Just an observation. Crack on, it must make life slighly more bearable when supporting a club like Widnes.

Cut the trolling and stick to talking about Greenwood!

Stop bringing TWP into a thread about a player that isn't going there! Any more derailing and this will get locked! TS

Always thought he was better than he actually was did Greenwood.

He had talent but his head was too.

He needs to take out of Savelios books who was exactly the same but is now putting the hard work in

I reckon he wont last at Leeds , Wigan wont want him , so he will finish up at Toronto or Widnes , at the end of the day he is not very good and lacks bottle

I can see where people get the lacks bottle from. I’m not convinced. I think his confidence is shot to pieces and he is playing with the fear of getting injured. Whether he can get over that mentally will determine whether he goes on to full-fill his potential. There’s a class player somewhere in there.

Maybe a long chat with Stevie Ward will help Greenwood with his mental frailities.
