what so you lot think of gleeson?

as all probably know that we were more than happy to get rid of him at warrington.

i thought he offered nothing whatsoever to your attack today (or your defense)

Didn't offer much, but didn't make mistakes unlike Mathers. I know which I'd rather have.

He had a bad game but he is one of the best defensive centres in the league.

His time will come when we get a decent pack and our half backs can play the game properly and get the ball out to him.

would you care to expand on that?

i thought the general opinion amongst you was that your halfbacks are fantastic

Leuluai is a hooker IMO. Tomkins is a fantastic young player making the most of the space he gets. Sam Tomkins would be great wire wire playing behind that pack.

I'm very happy with him.

It's been a while since we've had a genuine right centre and his defence is spot on

I don't think he's built up a partnership with his winger yet which doesn't help his attack

He may have been a little quiet today but that's down to having to fill in for Bailey when he went off and being out coached

He's been good for Wigan.
Did nothing today as like all the backs and halves were behind a pack that were over run.

Was he even playing today? I saw his name on the team sheet and thats about it. King totally outplayed him and scored a hat trick and that says it all. I actually thought Gleeson would be getting slaughtered on here and not Roberts but he doesnt seem to be. It is like Wigan fans are still in denial about him. Why do you think Warrinton wanted rid, just ask any Warrington fans about how poor/ average he is on a week to week basis, never mind his attitude. He is a player on the decline and has lost his speed and some of his footwork and finds touch as often as he does his winger. He goes missing for entire matches and his defence is also poor at times. He isnt even as good as Carmont. £100,000 + Mathers, what a rip off



It is just like Fielden all over again. Wigan sign an overated, overhyped and over the hill player. You would have been better signing 2 good props instead.

i totally agree.

i expected him to be getting pelters on this forum.... but it doesnt apper to be the case.

i think his best days are well behind him.. he was poor for us.. a lazy centre who often goes missing when the chips are down.

(mathers is worse comment goes here)

I would still welcome Gleeson into the Warrington team. If we sign Ryan Atkins to replace Gleeson then I'm not sure how much of an improvement that is.

Put Gidley in that wigan team. Would he look as good as he does at Saints? When you have no structure to your attack like wigan, its difficult to get him into a position where he can weave his magic. More often than not, Saints will put gidley into a position where he is attacking the defense on a good line or angle, with the defense scrambling.. From what ive seen, Gleeson is getting the ball stood square against his defender.

maybe that was the reason Gleeson was in the Super League dream team when he was at Warrington, it was the players around him made him look good?

Thought mathers played well to be honest!! He made one mistake when taking a tough bomb!! and the error didn't cost his team dear did it? I think some of you lot need to get over mathers!! Some of you lot are like a bitter ex girlfriend!! As for gleeson he hasn't Been anywhere near a good player since he left saints!

If Smith deemed him not needed and not motivated enough to play for the club, surely you'd trust Smith and not welcome him back? He's a good player who done well for us, but surely his attitude and lack of desire for the club, is enough to put you off him welcoming him back?

EXACTLY

i, for one, would be disgusted if he ever came back to play for wire... i never rated him and was very happy to see the back of him... smith couldnt get him out of the club fast enough....

Happy enough, glimpses of top form and shows bucketfulls of desire and effort.

Keep watching and you'll soon realise that he goes missing alot when he's not interested.

Just like others have said.

If I hadn't seen his name on the team sheet, I wouldn't have known Gleeson was playing.


Mind, a few others didn't turn up either. But if you want to make a name for yourself ,you have to do it in the big games, and this was a big game.

I fear for Wigan now under IL.

To use the SC as an excuse for Wigans demise, because that is what it is, is unacceptable.

We seem to be signing or re-signing the same old players. It's only a matter of time before the Nobster gets another contract.

Bring back Mo !

But then..... Who cares what you think?

Keep watching Mathers.... you will see we got the better deal.... he is a liability.... He is not as good as he thinks he is.... But he does try...

And you are who exactly ?

A fan of over 50 years like me ?

ok chump bet you wasn`t saying that when we played for you grow up hey!!!!

thought he was a good player for us wingers always got a good ratio of tries playing outside him

I will defiently looking forward to watching him walk out on the 29th

TBH I was suprised how quiet he was yesterday, I expected a big game from him.

Obviously dont see him evry week like befor but he is a quality player and his wingers always got loads of tries.
