Not sure what has happened to the dual reg. agreement we have with Widnes, but Lucas Green has been loaned to Bradford Bulls. He is based in West Yorkshire, so maybe this arrangement suits him? https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/br ... ts-on-loan

Is he any good?

He is only 19, so he is a work in progress.

On the short size for a Super League prop, but was playing regularly for our 1st team as an 18 year old, so the club rate him.

We signed Max Wood from Wigan during the close season, which seems to have pushed Green one notch further down our pecking order.

Watched Eriba Doro play at Wire and I rate Green higher than Eriba at this stage of his career.

If Lucas does grow a bit taller then I think he will definitely make-it.

He'll have a better chance of getting wider.

looks like a union prop

Widnes were competitive with the Wire duel reg.

Since pulling back outt players, for whatever reasons, Widnes are stinking the place out!

If you compare Green and Max Wood currently, the latter looks at home as an SL player already, the former does not.
That could change - especially as he's a forward - but he's not there currently.

I think Max Wood will be a regular in 2025, maybe sooner.

It’s thanks to Wigans loyalty to Isa and Farrell that we have Nicholson and Wood.
Peet made some noises about both of them not waiting and Wire taking their players.

I know they were very upset about Nicholson, but they actually released Wood, he then came to train with us and we were impressed and signed him.

Are you sure about Wood?

Unfortunately you cant keep everyone happy all of the time

we had Farrell, Isa, Smithies as our back 3 with Kai-Pearce Paul, Junior Nsemba, Matty Nicholson and James McDonnell all vying for a back row spot

thats some talent to have on your hands all at one point in time. We knew KPP wanted to try his hand in the NRL and Isa probably in his last season, so the opportunities would have opened up poss last year but most likely this. I get some want to back their ability and think they should be 1st team at 18-19 years old, but how many are really that good and stay in the 1st team

then if we fast forward to the end of last season, knowing KPP was going, the club may have had an idea about Smithies but we were then down to Farrell, Isa and Nsemba, so a massively different picture. Ellis has filled the 13 spot well, and we've been unlucky that both Nsemba and Walters have both been injured the 1st part of the season, as they offer something different to Isa and Farrell in terms of size, pace and ball handling skills, and we'd expect one of them to be pushing Isa for his 1st team shirt before the end of this season
