The run of bad news is broken thankfully. I like the lad. He can be very good on his day and runs great lines. I’ve always felt he’s not the most aggressive but hopefully Wane can add a little of that before his departure.

I think that’s a superb signing and definitely an upgrade on Joel Tomkins. I do like a back row of;

11 Farrell/Bateman
12 Greenwood
13 Bateman/SOL

I do however suspect Bateman will be off at seasons end now.

Good signing at a much needed time. Definite upgrade on Joel.

Phil Wilkinson confirmed today Bateman was NRL bound at the end of the season

great news and a great signing

Re: Greenwood confirmed : Mon Jun 11, 2018 8:32 pm  

Excellent and much needed news.

Always really rated him and he has that natural ability to run a good line and break a tackle.

Definite upgrade on Joel and he also brings the athleticism and size I feel our backrow lacks.

With it looking increasingly likely Bateman is going we have an opportunity to add some real size to the backrow. I will be sad to see Bateman go but the thought of 2 big secondrow forwards really excites me.

Unless he’s drastically regressed over in oz (plenty of others have) then he is a big upgrade on Joel Tomkins. He should be coming into his peak years and hopefully we get his best years, he’s got a good eye for the tryline too.

Absolutely - we have signed two players who are probably upgrades on their replacements- Hardaker for Tomkins and Greenwood for Sutton.

It would be terrific if we could get someone similar to Murdoch-Masilla so we can start punching some holes on the fringes.

Having the "no-leg-drive, drop to the ground, pretend you are not a forward" Wane getting to coach him is the only downside of the deal! Another player who will need rehabilitating by the new coach
