You missed one, over the hill?

Sadly life and rugby are not that neat. Wigan wanted Gleeson before he was cup tied. If the board were to have asked them to wait while we find another centre they'd have withdrawn their offer. Given that Gleeson could leave for free in six months time taking the money on the table - without yet knowing who to spend it on - was the right move.

How the flippin heck do you know where Benny lives lid?

Gleeson was contracted until the end of 2010, not 2009, and could only be released prior to that by mutual consent.

Personally I dont care when Gleeson was contracted till or how much we got for him.

The best thing the club did is just get shut of him.

People say things, and they make all these rumours up about people doing this and people doing that. But yet they make no attempt to back it up.

That's why whenever I hear something (which I have done recently that is 100% true), I don't come on here sing to myself thinking, "Oooh, I'll put a little taster of something that is a load of crap, and see how many people beg me to let them know what is "allegedly" going on."

With stuff like that, you keep quiet, because at the end of the day, it's nothing to do with anyone to try and score points from it is just pathetic.

Surely you have just contradicted yourself there wire fanatic?

You say you dont come on here teasing but you just have by saying you know something which is 100% true



Care to share?

If that's what you construe as "teasing", then you must obviously be easily pleased.

Anyway, SBW. How true it is, I'm not so sure. Would be a very interesting signing if it does turn out like that. Though he does seem to have off field issues and he's also pretty injury prone.

its not SBW who wire are signing i heard we are looking at getting some one who is already playing in super league

Stuart Littler

if you don't want to name him at least name the club so we can narrow down speculation.

is it Swinton ?

i didnt get told who. just that the SBW transfer is just plain nonsense but Smith is looking a player who plays stand off

Owen cragie...............member him at widnes..........................................fat nacker..

my info comes from a mate who knows Neil Barker sports writer at the Manchester evening news

He should fit right in then.

talks could be along the lines of

"you want to play for England and beat the Aussies"

"er yes"

"Well you better sign for the Wire or hope that one of you're grandparents is a Maori"

it might be wild of mark and i may get laughed at (nothing knew there then ) but Thomas Bosc might be the player

or joan of arc

I've heard were getting Gasnier for 100k plus Matt King.

[size=75Might as well join in.[/size

I hope it's Luke Robinson.

is that a joke

Don't get your hopes up Wire fans on signing SBW, they'll be meeting with Lockyer and Gasnier next week though.

Better than Bent Carrott at one point (2005 Craigie v 2007 Carrott IIRC)

No. Tony Smith could get his mojo back.
