Greenwood could be sidelined after overseeing stunning Cup triumph

Lee Greenwood, who played in Super League with London Broncos, Sheffield Eagles, Haifax and Huddersfield, is now plying his trade in the Championship with the Bulldogs but in his spare time coaches his old amateur team Siddal.

The 29-year-old was elated when he guided the Halifax club to a record 26-0 win over Doncaster in the third round of the Cup last Saturday and his weekend got even getter when he scored two tries in Batley's 70-6 win over Leeds Met University 24 hours later.

But he was left "gutted" when the two teams were paired in the fourth-round draw, placing him in an awkward situation and creating a selection dilemma for Harrison.

Greenwood, whose full-time job is a sports co-ordinator at Calderdale College, said: "Typical, wasn't it?

"I'm gutted. It's the worst possible draw for me and it's not a good one from the club's point of view either because they wanted a Super League team.

"It's just ridiculous. When they got past six ties and neither side had come out, I thought it's going to happen.

"I will still have an interest in the fifth round. I suppose you could look at it that way."

Harrison has every sympathy for his player but insists the interests of his club must come first.

"It's so uncanny," he said. "It's the worst possible draw for Lee. He's absolutely devastated. He wants to play in the game and he's been playing really well.

"He's a big part of our team but it gives me a dilemma. It's really difficult. I don't think it's happened before.

"I don't see how I can play him, to be honest.

"But I will sit down with the other coaching staff and Lee himself and talk about it."
