One of only two

I agree completely with you but if there is issues behind the scenes and this McMeeken rumour has legs, FWIW I don’t think it does, it would be a fantastic swap.

Yeah the McMeekan thing was originally mentioned as a rumour in a swap for Hardaker, then I mentioned on the rumours page how I wouldn’t mind him in a swap for McMeekan but it was more of wishful thinking then any sort of rumour.

Completely agree BRW. I think he’s been very unlucky with injuries and hasn’t been able to get going, hopefully all that is behind him and he can find that form that you quite rightly said was brilliant.

Greenwood needs a run of games clear of injury to get his spark back. You do not become a poor player over night and Greenwood is not a bad player but he has been very unlucky. What really is a shame is that we have two excellent left sided second rows but no senior right sided player as neither perform as well on that side. I could imagine one of them being left on the side-lines whilst one of the young lads fills the position on the right.

Make that four. Lam's not selecting him in the semi's was baffling given the forweards looked knackered. Isa in particular had completely run out of steam. Mind you both Bullock and Sammut were fit and he picked the same team that lost v Saints so maybe he's not got a downer on Greenwood as such but just made a mess of the selections.

Is it really such a big deal playing on one side or the other at SR? I can't remember any other player mentioning this as an issue. I'd understand it more at centre where you're passing more.

No problems for our centres:- they don't pass!!!!

I watched Greenwood closely on Saturday for England Knights, he was average at best.

My thoughts too.

Not 100% sure what your point is?

Has Isa for example been anything but average in a Wigan shirt? I'm sure you'll point out to a handful of games when he's done well, but you can easily do the same with Greenwood.

Greenwood, imo, has fallen into that category where everything he does is criticised by the fans. Sadly it's a common thing too - look at Marshall Vs Burgess, Marshall drops a ball and no one bats an eye, but if JB does the same then everyone is all over him. Tomkins had it when he was here, he'd pass the ball for a winger to run it back and get shot down, but yet he'd set 2 or 3 opportunities up in the same game. Compare that to everyone's darling in ZH who is all heart, but no brain.

Yes its a massive difference, your used to tackling in the main with the outside shoulder, so everything is opposite way around. Farrell started the season there and by his own admissions struggled there. Personally Greenwood would have to play there and not Farrell if Greenwood is still here. I hope Greenwood finds that spark to his game again but i have some doubts about him. Hope he proves me wrong next year.
