The club should release him and put an end to the matter

That is completely the wrong thing to do.

Why?

Because the guy has enough things to worry about, without having to find himself a new club. Pre-season doesn't start for 4 months, we can evaluate the situation then.
We've stated that we're sticking by him, I'd like us to actually keep that promise.

I think we at least deserve to be updated on him once in a while since we're paying his wages.

think i mentioned this weeks ago on the rumour thread, only to be ridiculed. you know who you are.....

Are you for real?

Well obviously or I wouldn't of typed it would I

What right do we have to know the personal life of a player?

I've just realised how that came across. I don't really know how to explain what I meant, not the best with words haha. I'll just keep quiet on this matter.

Fair enough mate. Just think that as soon as the situation changes the club will tell us, until then Gleeson deserves his privacy.

Some really funny comments on here with the benefit of hindsight

Personally don't see the problem ?

I couldn't care about international RL so am pleased my club is using all avenues open to them.

Spot on...if the rest are doing it we would be stupid not to do the same.

I maybe contradicting myself abit because i want to see youth come through but at the end of the day i want trophys and success at this club...what ever gives us an advantage,than we should take it.

I disagree. It's totally against the spirit of the thing. Quotas are very difficult to legally enforce and rely on all clubs behaving appropriately. If every club tries to find a way around the rules as soon as it suits their purpose, the whole thing will fall down.

Good news. Let's hope we can take full advantage.

I should add that if this paves the way for us to sign Jonathan Thurston and we win the GF as a result, I will still be happy.

But what do we as a club gain from being moral when everyone else is looking for loopholes to bring quality in? Its not our place to enforce it..but i know what your saying about the legalities of it....i just think we should take advantage of it..

I think that horse has already bolted tbh.

Yeah but that is not the clubs fault for this happening, the RFL should be clamping down on it.

Anyway isn't this rule only eligible to certain amount of players, meaning that in a few seasons times teams won't be able to get around the quota this way ?

We won't win anything by being too nice or morally perfect.

We gain from the fact that we're developing our own young players. At the moment there's hardly any talent coming through and we're having to find ways around the quota to compensate. That's a sad state of affairs given how things were a few years ago.

Ha,ha...well there you go then! Your morals go out of the window when it suits!!

I don't think Wigan have had to flout any of these rules to win the competition, have they? Although they did fiddle the salary cap to stay in it...

I'll be happy with a GF win, of course I will. But I still would prefer it if we managed to achieve that without finding loopholes in the rules.

From a club point of view its the coaching staff that have stopped our youth coming through not the rules...theres an opportunity from now to blood some young uns as the seasons a wash out but it wont happen.
