Why did we not go for Gleeson??? : Mon Apr 06, 2009 7:25 am  

It's been pretty much confirmed on the Wigan board, 100k plus Mathers. We have alot of cap room, more than Wigan have, and could have included Gibson in the package, Gibson is young, but by the time Gleeson would have finished Watkins would be ready to step up anyway!

Totally agree GH should have been on the phone to TS as soon as this story came out

There's a lot of talk about gleeson's"off field" antic's for a while he's hardly set the world on fire at warrington and maybe he was deemed not right for our tight nit squad.
I remember similar post's (me included) when wire signed king and morley and they haven't exactly blazed a trail of success have they??

Morley has comfortably maintained his status as an international front row forward and performed consitantly at the top level for Wire. He's also done it with remarkably few injuries considering the mileage he has under the hood.

He's been booted out of two top clubs. If that doesn't demonstrate his unsuitability nothing does.

He's been no better than peacock and imo he isn't worth the money or length of deal he's on at the wire!

Don't be ridiculous. We lost yesterday, and the only solution to such problems is to get the chequebook out and spend a fortune on a new player.

Give Gleeson a wide birth. As someone has said he has been kicked out of two top clubs. That suggests some problem.

Pity though because on the field he is exactly what Leeds are lacking, an attacking threat on the right.

Add to that his winger would be put into space where he can prove what a good finisher he is or should that be was on this season's showing.

What has Gleeson actually done to justifty his reputation since leaving Saints?
