Would be surprised if even Widnes would take a punt on him if and when he recovers from his 'illness'. Doubt we'll see play again personally.

This would be a 'massive punt' imo, MKC.

This fella is now SERIOUSLY USED GOODS. Whilst having undoubted talent, ANY club would be taking a massive risk on him, with his 'issues'. Salary cap limitations will see to this...he wont come cheap, and he may well "blow-up" again.

Sad to say, but he's an accident waiting to happen






Neither glass half full or empty. Just a realist.

Widnes. Would instantly be the best player there. Cullen already there.

The only way anyone would touch him in Super League would be pay as you play but thats a lot of messing for the salary cap.

Might end up at somewhere like Dewsbury or Wrexham

Wonder if Cull will resist the temptation Lefty? His old mate, a once top quality player who would command a hugely reduced contract from his Warrington/Wigan days. Month to month deal perhaps or more probably Widnes will continue to look at players who have a proven track record without the kindergarten mentality.

A pisssed up Gleeson would do a better job at centre than what they planned cuurently.

Ben Kavanagh
Paddy Flynn
Steve Pickersgil
Ben Cross
Hep Cahill
Shaun Briscoe
Macgraff Leuluai
Dave Allen
Thomas Coyle
Kurt Haggerty
Tom Gilmore
Jack Owens
Danny Craven
Patrick Ah Van
Ben Davies
Chris Dean
Lloyd White
Frank Winterstein
Willie Isa


Although, I bet Ben Cross could do a brilliant job there if needed.

I can just see it now:

"This is nothing less than a sensational capture. This is a clear signal that we want to break into the top eight as a legitimate force. Martin Gleeson is still a real threat the world over and is one of the few players the Australian national team fear in terms of dynamic backs from these shores. We aim to provide him with the neccessary structure at Widnes to allow him to achieve his objective of getting back in to the England squad for the upcoming World Cup tournament." Cullen also refused to rule out signing Michael Wainwright, Henry Fa'afili and Warren Stevens.

and "we beat several top Australian clubs to his signature".

Yes because Gleeson helped them to become Super League champions.

This year since Gleeson left, Wigan have not looked like the same force they were a year ago.

There's only 2 people in this world who'd stick up for Martin Gleeson as much as you do, one is his mother and the other...

You are Sean Long and I claim my £5 :wink:
