No, as no one will know the terms on which he departed. You would assume that the wage he has earned these past few months will be all that's taken off the cap, but if u believe saddo we've somehow cheated the cap.

His job is to play rugby and his private life is just that, private.
You ever been fired or disciplined at work? if so can you tell us who for and what it was you did, would just like to know, just so when i see you i can point at dirtbag83 and say "see that guy there, guess what he did?"

Yes this is what I would presume also. Ergo, we should have room to bring in someone if they were to become available. Personally I am none too sure as to whether there is anyone we could bring in.

| Meh, I'm quite content with his departure. He came in, did the job and contributed towards winning the Grand Final last season.
Whether this situation would have happened or not, we were in the mindset of replacing Gleeson opposed to building a team round him & it's just happened a year or so sooner than we had planned.
In regards to Gleeson himself, I don't think we've heard the last of him being in the headlines...And I highly doubt that any of them will be Rugby related. The lad needs to sort his life out one way or another.

What on Earth are you talking about? All I'm wondering is where the club goes from here with regards to the cap. Believe it or not I'm interested in the future of the rugby team that I support. I'm not bothered in the slightest by what Gleeson has done to warrant his departure. I'm sure that will all come out in Longy's next book anyway

| I'm intrigued by the term "minor" disciplinary offence. The other two reasons stated are no fault of his own so seems quite harsh treatment if only a minor offence especially for such a good player. I fear our loss will be someone else's gain.
Can only assume that he had become a disruptive influence and it was detrimental to the team to have him around. If that is the case then it is the correct decision.
The statement has raised a few more questions which we'll probably never get the answer to but I suppose it's time to move on. I just hope this decision doesn't come back to haunt us.

| Good luck to the lad, it must be a weight of his shoulders to get this out in the open, for all his faults he was/is a great player.
Thanks Martyn for the 2 great tries in the GF last year.
All the best !!

| I hope he goes to Australia as rumoured. He needs to get away from everything, going to Hull FC with Long and possibly Tim Smith and a coach like Agar who is NOT going to be able to control him/look after him could end up in disaster.
Good luck to him

| Good player but somehow seems to be a loose cannon off field. More to this than meets the eye but we wont get to hear about it for a long time. I was so glad when he left us for you and just knew this would happen one day and now it has and it did not take long. Better off without him.

One would imagine that Wigan are somewhat downplaying his misdemeanors.

Does rather seem that there's more than meets the eye but I doubt it'll ever fully come out. Suppose that's the player's/club's prerogative but it does little to put off the speculators.
Thanks for the effort Glees, a damned good centre if ever there was. Hope you can get your personal life squared away and focus on the important things.

Is it heck. You have no idea what his personal situation is and the damage the club could do to a) to Martin and his family and b) the club itself if the official situation is released.
A career has been ruined here either way, I think people should have a bit of respect here and hope Martin some way or another manages to turn himself around.

No chance. He is a second rower / loose if there ever was one.
Marsh was wrongly dropped at the weekend. He had a great game defensively the week before -ok attack wise needs work but they need to work at the combination rather than chop and change and play people out of position.

The "minor" disciplinary offence was last season when he got dropped for a game. It will really was bugger all to be honest.

| Add Gleeson to Riddell and its two positions I don't think we've really replaced. Mcllorum has done well but I really think we're missing both guys this season

Gleeson is no longer a Wigan player, this is deemed the best for him and the club. That'll do for me, good luck to him in the future, now lets put all this nonsense and rumours behind us (wishful thinking? ).

| Shame..no winners from this situation. Hope he can sort himself out and we get his position sorted as we have missed his defence.
