Tvoc, is Senior OoC at the end of this year?

At the moment, Yes.

As for Wigan breaking the cap they simply wouldn't be allowed to register Gleeson's playing contract unless there was room or they'd made room to do so through legitimate channels.

Since the cap went 'Live' in 2008(?) there have been no reported issues and the system should more or less prevent any breach, either deliberate or accidental from occuring.

We could get rid of Buderus? That'd pay for Gleeson and a new South Stand this year.

Gleeson is a cracking player and all that but...(if the rumours are true)...

Will Wigan ever learn? Offloading (at least) two decent young squad players to make room for another star name

I don't think off loading Mathers will do them any harm. As has been commented on before, he looks a shadow of the player we knew at Leeds, the 2 knee re-constructions look to have effectively finished him. It's a shame for him, but that's life.

But Goulding is a promising young lad and while Mathers seriously lacks confidence he is a veristile and experienced squad player.

One top player is not necessarily better than 2 average ones over the course of a season

Yeah, they're fair points. I suppose it depends on your squad depth, sometimes you need the icing on the cake, sometimes you need the cake mixture.

Did anyone see the Boots & All on Sky Anytime? When Bill Arthur and Barrie Mac were discusing the Gleeson deal I'm sure Barrie sais something along the lines of "and Danny Brough is rumoured to be joining the cherry & white's greasest rivals, have I said too much." I've tried to rewatch to check but can't find it anymore. I suppose it makes sense if Pryce is looking at a custodial sentence as mentioned by the judge then they'll need a replacement half back.

Barrie McDermott said just that (in so many words), Gleeson to Wigan and Brough to St Helens.

He also said that Salford 'need to sniff the camel's back.' Intriguing (the last bit.)

Very entertaining throughout this week.

Any idea what that bit was on about?
