Before we brand decision's a disgrace we do need to remember that the Gleeson thing is just a rumour and the likelyhood of Long staying beyond this season is very unlikely.

Plus Gleeson could easily stay next season without Long being there, he has managed not to play in the same side as him for a number of years now.

I'd be ok with him training with us, to let both parties see if it could work out.
Top player in a position we look weak in ATM

Prove it.

Don't tell me, you've "heard" it's true.

deal on rest of season and see how things go, still a quality player and would certainly give us some attacking ability down the right side

Didnt sound from his interview that a deal was what he was looking for. If he has got an NRL deal from 2012 it might be best for Gleeson to just chillax for the rest of the season and get his head right for the pressures of the NRL.

oh right dint know about an nrl deal tbh hope he does go to aussie and could be best just to chillax as you say

NRL deal only a rumour but could be the best thing for him.

WTF does that mean in the HDM Hull have Salary cap issues to signing Gleeson are they having a laugh ????????????

Surely obst and phelps (who was faced with heh prospect of earning nothing this season) must be on at least as much as berrigan and tansey?

Or we are over the 25 man roster?

Would be a great addition to our right side. He would strengthen us in that dept, and our backs in general. Good news if true IMO.

OK:

Quite, thats why I said 'which would be', rather than 'is'.



Can't see it myself, Gleeson will get much better offers than us for next year. If he signs for us long-term it's so he can muck about with his old mate Longy for a year or two.

Been told by a young player that Gleeson has signed. dont know any details but the young kid is gutted that he is further away from first team now more than ever.

I'll be amazed if any NRL club offers a 30/31 year old Brit, slightly past his best with baggage, any deal nevermind a 2 year one.

name of young player?

Why? just a young lad who plays centre. I am not interested in posting wind up's, i am just passing on what he said. Not sure if naming him would get him in trouble or not.

To be fair no young player should be complaining about someone of Gleeson's class coming in, it's seeing people like Whiting and Turner played out of position ahead of him that he's got a right to be upset about.

whiting and turner arnt centres not good enough both good utility players

He is a young lad breaking his balls to get first team football, wether Gleeson is a good player or not, it means he is even less likeley too. of course he will be upset

glesson has 2 years left in him i could understand if we were going to sign a top young centre then yeah

Well Morrison should concentrate on doing well for Doncaster, if he's good enough he'll get his chance.

Really pleased we got our recruitment right this season !

8 weeks in and playing poop we are picking up waifs & strays in desperation to salvage a season already gone.

This is nonsense, we should be recruiting for next season and the next two.

Surely next season we will have 4 or 5 major earners to replace, a little forward planning please.*

but we have plenty of cap space available and someone like gleeson dosent comearound every day andd lets face it our right edge is poor and lacks any creativity so a deal till end of season would be great and see how he goes before a longer contrat is given
