I see it more that wigan are getting two young players some SL experience. they are more or less guaranteed to play considering Salford's squad problems of late especially further to the two bans we heard of yesterday.

salford were struggling to get a team on the sheet before the loans were agreed so I don't really see it too much of a threat "helping" them out by loaning them two of our players. it can only benefit the two lads in the long run and surely wigan will reap the rewards in the long term too as I can't see them being allowed to play against us (not sure if we have a fixture with them before the loan runs out?)

good business by both clubs if you ask me.

Gildart is a fantastically talented prospect but, as we have already seen, may not be ready physically for Super League. Would they be looking to play him somewhere other than centre. He played at full back, a fair bit, in the U19s, because of injuries.

Young Gildart didn't look ready for the Championship when he played for Workington last week at Halifax. He needs to work on his defence. With ball in hand he looks okay but his defence is his weakness.

both playing today.
interestingly, Greenwood is starting at 13 !

Greenwood subbed after 4 min, I don't think he came back, I think Gildart did the full match.

Salford 20, Cas 22.

Greenwood got a mention in the radio commentary with 5 mins left

Greenwood played most of the game because Salford were reduced to one player on the interchange bench.
Considering that players like Locke started on the wing then had to move to six then on to nine and George Griffin, who has been playing prop at Wakefield for the last month,Started at severn then had to move to centre it must not have been easy for the two lads but they let nobody down and are a credit to the Wigan academy setup

The match report on Sky praises Gildart saying he was impressive and made some good runs.

It'll be a really worthwhile spell this for him. With Burgess going at the end of the year he may get some games on the wing and possibly centre if they need to mix things up.

Sorry JJ my phone info must be cr#p.

I have an app on my phone "love rugby league" which I use because I find it simple and at my age it has to be simple.

I checked it about 5pm tonight and it said Greenwood was subbed after 4min by Morley with no mention after that he came back.

So I stand corrected.

Both your lads gave good accounts of themselves today , both great prospects for the future

The thing with Greenwood is he's nearly 24,should he still be viewed as a prospect?

Greenwood ran the ball in all day long, didn’t make many yards but worked hard. Gildart made the better impression of the two, making a couple of fantastic breaks with his second one resulting in a try for Kevin Locke. He has a deceptive turn of pace and went round his opposition centre/winger with ease. Certainly looks a good prospect.
