Just heard in Huddersfield today that Nathan Brown intends using Gregg as a full back for the early seasons games. He was apparently impressed by his performances for Ireland.

I would have thought that Greg would need to sharpen up big style on his tackling before he could be considered for this role, as he was hidden on the wing when haven were defending because his tackling was weak.

yeah, but take into account which "coach" was "coaching" him here, and who is coaching him now, and the likelihood is his tackling will have improved no end!

bit late in trying to coach someone to tackle, positional play yes but tackling should come naturally or coached at a very early age as any one knows who has played.

He's just picked up 3 or 4 from Blackpool including Forber who was at Town.   That's 4 clubs in 12 months for him - Town, Rochdale, Town, Blackpool and now Swinton.

lets be honest keith,forber is a dreadful player.and if swinton want to push for promotion they need a better half back than him.
