Gleeson is the best centre in England - which doesnt say a lot like

Mathers has never reached the potential he showed first at Leeds, but £K100 is a lot of smackers to pull out on one player.

Gleeson surely would demand a higher pay packet/contract than Mathers ? With him moving in the other direction surely the pies will have to release/offload/free up some more on their salary gap unless they were not already at their limit?

This could be good news for us - I'll take Darrell Goulding who appears out of favour this season with 3 appearances after 22 per season in the previous 2 seasons

League Weekly were suggesting that W***n were going to try their salary cap dodge of loading his salary into the later years of his contract, again. Yes right - "Martin, would you have a problem, if we didn't pay you anything until 2011?" That's what they tried with Fielden, etc. and were found well guilty!

He may be the best centre in England (to be honest I am struggling to think of anyone else now lol), but to pay £100K and give away Mathers doesn't sound like great business to me.

Giving away Mathers is great business sense.

No what does it say?
I think Wigan have boobed again big style. Always thought Glesson was over rated and I wouldn't have let Richie Mathers go the other way as part of the deal either.

Can't believe Noble is still at Wigan.

That we are on the brink of signing an overseas utility player, but Kelly doesn't want to get too carried away until it is 100%.
Think we can all work out who it is

Agreed. He's been beyond abysmal whenever I've seen him this year. If Gleeson gets his head on the game that he's a top, top player I reckon.

think gleeson and senior are still the first choice centres at international level, but ryan atkins is getting there, and how good has tony clubb become this season?
