I'd have been happy if we'd signed a seasoned pro and had made a debut like his, so very promising to get a young lad doing the job.
Good luck to him, and well done JK and teh team for getting hold of him and being brave enough to throw him in.

I agree the lad showed confidence offloading ran hard tackled well he had everything Kyle Bibb hasn't shown in 2 years I was impressed by Gledhill. But why did he leave Cas did Cas think he wasn't good enough or something? Cas's loss he looked a really good player.

Ben was with the Wildcats scholarship scheme from the age of 12 until around 16. He wanted to concentrate on studies and was then picked up by Cas after been sought after by a couple of other super league clubs.
He had a couple of years at Cas (never mind) but rejected their offer to come back part time at Wakey to prove he had the wherewithall to break into super league.
Lets hope he continues to progress as he has done to date.

I believe Leeds and Cas made him offers but ours was better.

Thought he had a tremendous debut game & hope he keeps it up! If the whinos missed him, how long before they come knocking with their cheque-book to sign a hot property (ala Jay Pitts)?

Wouldnt be suprised to see the 4 gledhill brothers, tom had shoulder surgery last year to have it re-constructed and the last game he played he popped it out again, would be good to see him back on the field (tom if you see this you lazy - TRB) But the 4 gledhills would be a force!
