Clint Greenshields: Felt remorseful after fateful 'tweet'

Clint Greenshields is set to return to the Catalan Dragons line-up for Saturday's clash with Huddersfield.

The Australian full-back was fined £2,000 and suspended for three days by the club after calling referee Ben Thaler "retarded" on his Twitter account during the Dragons' recent defeat at Leeds.

Greenshields missed that game with a hamstring injury but he would have been fit for last week's Challenge Cup victory over Sheffield.

"Clint will be back this week," said coach Trent Robinson. "Obviously he didn't train with us at the back end of last week but he's back in this morning."

Robinson, who is hoping by imposing their own punishment his club have averted the threat of further action by the Rugby Football League, says Greenshields was full of remorse and that all his players have been reminded of the pitfalls of using Twitter.

"He felt remorse straight away," added Robinson. "He was pretty upset with himself.

"We're still waiting for a ruling from the RFL but obviously we've taken our own action and we've talked to the players about it. It can't happen."

The Dragons also hope former Warrington second rower Louis Anderson will be back for Saturday's game after missing the Cup tie with a hamstring strain.

However, they will be without loose forward Gregory Mounis for at least another three weeks after he broke a hand in the win over Warrington on Easter Monday.
