I think this is why we probably won't sign him, as it's been mentioned on here Agar doesn't stand for any indiscipline and having sacked Tansey for his drinking I can't see wanting to take the risk of it happening all over again, even if Gleeson is a quality player and would improve our squad no end.





As you say three years of utter bollox on the pitch has probably made it come to this. He's not going to be inundated with offers so if we are really in for him, we shouldn't have too much of a problem signing him I wouldn't have thought.

Nobody's PMd me but despite this I'm absolutely sure we shouldn't be signing him.

Same on both accounts, a quality player on his day but that is not very often these days.

From a pure playing perspective I think he is what we are crying out for....and he would put Sharp away for fun...but with all the extra baggage do Rule/Agar really want to go back on what they said in the 2009 clearout about wanting to change the culture?

Then again look at NRL.....Todd Carney has done some really stupid things time after time but did Roosters fans care when he played in the Grand Final for them last year after they ended up with the wooden spoon in 2009?

I wouldn't like to comment until I had an idea of what he has done (giant hint for pm).

It looks like you sorted Westermans drinking out, could you do the same for Gleeson?

if the rumours are true then i dont think hull cant sign him although he would be a great addition. you would only get a couple of years out of him and it would give out the wrong message. Think carney/bird are different in that they were young so could be changed so to speak.

the gleeson issue imo is much wider spread than rugby fans would like to admit but hes been caught out and hardly has a good track record

can someone please pm whats gone too thanks

Im not sure what gleeson has done but i wouldnt want him anyway as i think whiting deserves the spot after years playing a number positions, but if we did sign him i wouldnt have a problem with it afterall if warrington can sign a doggie fiddler without worrying about then why should we worry about taking on gleeson, why shouldnt players be able to make a fresh start at another club just like tansey has at dewsbury and no doubt if he behaves he'll get another crack at super league again.

I couldn't give a toss

but it did not stop a certain Cheshire club from offering him a contract.

Maybe they considered it just as a business transaction . Believing, the player's 'on field' abilities would be more of a benefit to them than his off field behaviour.

Not sure on what the allegations are but he would if fully fit shore up and link that right edge in attack. Just look at the what happened when we started to put Berro in that position. Whiting will be in the squad and we could do with an extra back to really make people play for there places. People deserve extra chances, just like somebody will give Tansey probably, as long as any deal included the relevant get out clause then for me we should be looking.

For me we gave Tansey enough chances at this club all of which he failed to take. I wouldnt have a problem giving him a chance & taking Gleeson as long as the deal involved a zero tolerance so any indiscretions and he was out on his backside. The other factor to think about is the affect on the team it would have if the club did take him on.

Tough one as it raises so many issues, all of which are valid

Straight swap for Tom Briscoe and I'll drive him over (well someone will have to)

I'll do it!!

Plus, I won't even charge for the petrol

Throw Tommy L in to the offer and we can start to negotiate.

have wigan sacked gleeson?

no comment

good call

I see wakey have moved him back to 7 as well!

Have they? Things must be worse than I thought. Maybe I should send them a card, or something.

on wigan's board any talk about gleeson you will cop a ban for a few days

Very tempting

I still think he was mis-understood!!

Rather a draconian policy , if you wanted to start a 'Gleeson's best moments' thread.
