Greenwood was not completely happy with Rams’ performance in the 38-24 Betfred Championship win over Swinton Lions, which was his first competitive victory as coach.
He had described it as a must-win game before kick-off and said: “However the win would have come, we would have taken it.

“There were big patches of the game when we were really good and in control but we just sort of forget what’s working for us and fall into a bit of a hole where we’re not in control and that’s when the penalties and mistakes start coming.
“That changes the game and makes it different to how we’d like it. It is a challenge for us to get a bit better than that.
“I know we need to do a lot better than that to pick up enough wins to be where we want to be this season.”

“There is a lot of improvement in us. I know we’ve a long way to go to get to where I want to be.”
Rams’ side was strengthened by full-back Luke Hooley, who is on loan from Wakefield Trinity.
“When loan signings become available if you don’t take them they’re going to end up somewhere else, possibly going to a rival,” Greenwood said.

“He gives us a recognised full-back. We don’t have a load of people in the squad who can play full-back competently.
“I think Luke will get better, but for his first game in this period with us I thought he was all right and we’ll work with him. I like dual-reg but a loan gives you chance to work with people you bring in and treat them like one of your own.”
