Why the LOL?

I know its' been some time since you attended Headingley but if you haven't noticed we do need a new stand.

We could really do with a specialist right centre IMO, maybe not for this season but after Keith goes. I see Watkins as a left centre personally, despite him showing flashes of brilliance on the right.

Gleeson is the sort of player that we should be interested in. Quality player with 2-3 seasons of top class rugby left in him - he's out of contract at the end of the year so a transfer fee should be reasonable money.
Would give us some balance on the right and could be dynamite with Scott Donald outside him. Ablett could then concentrate on back row duties where he looks excellent this year.

Wigan will offer him a lot more money. I'd imagine he'd have to take a significant salary cut to come to Leeds. It wont happen.

Worth a Punt in my opinion. Quality Centre, Few good years left whilst we blood Watkins and Gibson develops. Would be good if we're able to get him. I think we would be able to offer similar money as Wigan to be honest. I would think they'd have some money free from Barretts contact, the fact they have a good few youngsters in there team (Who will be on less money) Only new recruit who will be up top in terms of salary that I can think of is that plumper Riddell. What I wouldn't want to happen is for us to pay silly money. Front loadinga contract might be a way to go with this one.

Does it look like Wigan need to unload Mathers and Goulding's salaries this season for Gleeson to fit within the cap?
