Do we think these are to free room up for Gleesons salary or are we expecting to bring another player in?

I'd imagine they're freeing up room for Gleeson but it wouldn't surprise me at all if we announced the signing of Jamie Peacock.

Is this hope springing eternal, or have you heard something?

Hey up, Pemps is sleep posting again

The former unfortunately.

The point I was making was that for the past couple of seasons we seem to be full of mid season surprises.

Well you've blown it again, first Pirtek now Peacock. Will you ever learn, loose lips sink ships!

the latter

Gleeson's contract couldn't have been registered with the RFL if we didn't have cap space the moment it was agreed by the RFL. Given this it looks like Goulding to Salford gives us some space. Don't know about the Mossop deal as the timing was close to Gleeson being confirmed.

If anymore go out i will start to believe theres something still to happen

Were we not able to accomodate Gleeson prior to these moves then the RFL would not have registered him, so i agree it seems to me new cap space is potentially opened up. I would suggest Mathers departure generated the cap space for Gleeson.

Not sure we are freeing up space to bring anyone in though, i think the moves are born out of player development rather than accomodating a new player, but if anyone else who is on the fringes of first team rugby is sent out on loan then i think the possibility significantly increases, especially if it is one of Prescott, Pryce McIllorum and/or O'Carroll.
