Joe Greenwood set to play in a new position for Leeds Rhinos

The 26-year-old has joined the Rhinos on a two-month deal and could make his debut in front of the Sky Sports cameras on Friday – at prop.

Coach Richard Agar has confirmed he may use Greenwood in the middle, rather than in the second-row.

“He is a big body and we have put it to him about playing as a middle here,” Agar told the Yorkshire Evening Post.

“He is known as an edge player, but he is a player with a lot of ability and some good experience.

“The Gold Coast move was good for him, but didn’t quite work out and Wigan are going with Willie Isa and Liam Farrell [in the second-row], but we think he can do a job.

“There’s a bit of versatility in him so he can play edge and middle. He has got some skills in him. He can offload and he runs good lines. He is still a good age, he is English and in the loan period we can see if it works for him and if it works for us.”

Greenwood will be available to play for Leeds against his parent club during his loan spell – they clash at the DW on April 17 – but won’t be able to play for the Rhinos in the Challenge Cup.

Agar didn't rule out the prospect of the former St Helens forward extending his stay after the loan spell.

“We’ll see if we enjoy and get on with each other and we’ll see where we stand on it down the track,” he said.

Wigan have already allowed Romain Navarrete to join Wakefield on loan for the year while Craig Mullen and Josh Wood are at Leigh.
