Well let's remember he'd been forced to Wire by his stupid betting thing. He even admitted himself he'd not been told he was being gotton rid of until it was happening. To my mind he's never made a secret of the fact he never wanted to be at the club.

Perhaps not!

Pretty barbed comment on the website. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

Taken from the club's website

"Martin Gleeson has been seeking a change of club for some time and talk of a club in the NRL has been previously rumoured.

Tony Smith is happy to accommodate the move for the player.

An agreement has been finalised with Wigan Warriors and Martin Gleeson is therefore released with immediate effect. A six figure compensation sum has been agreed with Wigan Warriors.

Tony Smith has again reconfirmed that only players fully committed to Warrington Wolves are wanted at the club".

Very suitable comments given the circumstances, I just hope thisdoesn't come back to bite us on the ar$e.

Read: Tony Smith was all too keen to pay for his train fare, 1st class from Bank Quay to Wigan North Western. So eager to see Gleeson out of the club, he was even prepared to throw in 4 cans of Special Brew and a copy of the Racing Post to keep Martin entertained during the journey.

If briers keeps playing like he is iwe don't want to get rid of him.

Why u wanna get rid of bridge?

This was on the club wesite, I am impressed

The bottom bit was obviously Jimmy Lowes' input

I absolutely love this.

Martin who?



I have mixed feelings about his move, but then I trust TS so if he feels that this is best for the team then that will do for me.

A little concerned about Mathers the other way (but again, I trust TSs' judgement on this too). Any truth that we wanted a £50k cash only deal, but wigan insisted on £100k + Mathers?

King can FO then?

"Tony Smith has again reconfirmed that only players fully committed to Warrington Wolves are wanted at the club."

Thats all that matters, good riddance.

Nobody wants him

Who would have thought at the start of the season that by April we would have neither King or Gleeson playing in the centres and had just signed Mathers.

Funny old game.

why would we get rid of a GB player thats what i dont get.
its not like hes been playing shocking aswell.

somethings gone on here!

do we need the cash? i dout it.

why get rid of gleeson and get mathers who is worse?

Why do people keep on king bashing no matter how well he plays? He made a try saving tackle against celtic which could have only been made by a totaly committed player

thats so true!

He made a try saving tackle and that makes him committed............................course it does.

Because Tony Smith doesn't want him. End of.

And with regard to King; if we have to play him at centre we ARE doomed.

it shows hes trying to show commitment is that not what we want.

but why does smith not want him?
what has he done wrong thats what i want to know you dont just flog off a GB player coz you dont like them.

Maybe some skill, talent and ability as well? You never know he might just step up to the plate now Gleeson has gone.

langer the king wrote


Yeah how can anyone question his commitment when he made a tackle in a match ?

?

Heard and read lots about Gleeson not giving his all and / or not caring etc etc.

I think a lot of that is just rubbish.

I agree with him when he says it's time to move on and he's disappointed about not winning medals.

But look at the strike rate of him and his wingers and it's pretty good - whether that's Fa'afili, Hicks or Riley.

It's easy for people to say he's a bad apple etc etc but probably not many know the real state of affairs.

It is time for him to move on and hopefully get success at Wigan - but not at our expense!
