crikey,ashley cole's put some beef on.
i hope it's a deal,gleeson has disappointed on the whole,when he signed for us he wasn't happy and to me he has always wanted to be elsewhere.

wigan have done a great piece of bussiness here
a GB centre in for 2 reserve players who are at best average
ian lenegan

But how much cash has changed hands as well?

Or on the flip side, warringto have got something for a player who was free to leave in 6 months for free. 2 players + cash seems good business for warrington. TS made Mathers a great fullback, maybe he can do it again?

Bloody know it all fans of other clubs who know jack, making things up or passing on what someone else has told them without substantiating it themselves......so Gleeson can leave for free in 6 months can he? Have a look at his profile from the Warrington Website.....if in not mistaken that's 18 months not 6.

Also, im sick of Warrington fans saying he doesn't want to be here. If im not mistaken he has had a contract renewal which HE agreed to. Other clubs would have been sniffing round him at that point and he showed faith and took the contract with us. He has consistently created opportunities for his winger. Everyone thought Fa'afili was a donkey yet he scored 20 tries a season for us. That was due to Gleeson and partly Briers.

Thats why i find it baffling that Lowes/Smith have swapped Briers to the left...why break up something that works in attack?

The money doesn't bother me
Im actually pleased to see Lenegan put his hand in his pocket
Something he didnt do for wiki/carvell

Does anyone know where the story was regarding Gleeson being allowed to leave for an NRL club?

I'm going to assume this was dependant on a compensation/transfer fee being offered.

I am starting to get a bit peeved that people take "you can leave if an offer comes in" for "the final year of your contract has been cancelled"

quite accurate except that when he agreed his contract renewal the club had not received any offers for him,hence him agreeing another deal.

maybe with this alleged tax bill we are about to receive we are desperate to raise some funds? combined with lower gates maybe we're also desperate to reduce wage bill??
