Quote ="the flying biscuit"whilst I like a gloat (and thats Gloat not Goat)as much as anyone this is turning very much into a Saints style "player leaves player is now crap" kind of thing...
Gleeson did play to his potential at Wires...he was clearly a shoe in for Great Britain centre every time throughout his wire Career......
but at the minute what we have done is Saints like in that we have got rid of a decent player and they have not been missed because of the form of their replacement...........
it would have been interesting had Chris Bridge not been ....ahem..... Irish ?
would he have taken Gleesons England spot...??...im not sure....'"
I've never really understood the 'Saints had his best years' talk. He was good for us, I think his surly demeanour rubbed people the wrong way, and took it as him being uninterested.
