| Quote DaveO="DaveO"He is rapidly approaching 29 and there is no way you can expect to get five good seasons out of a back of his age who has been in the game as long as he has. I also think four years for Roberts was a mistake.
What makes you think he can? It is far from an odd opinion that backs come to the end of their careers as they hit 30. It's the normal way things are. The fact you can point to three centres who have played on effectively as older players is not the normal precedent. They are exceptions and I just can't see how we have got to the stage where we justify signing a back because he may still be able to hack it at 34 while at the same time getting rid of one who will be 26 by that time and just hitting his peak!!

For a start we could do with players with some experience and quality. Second, 28 doesnt mean its all over for a players, otherwise on that logic some players will only get about 5 years of a career.
3rd he is a British player, Wigan infact, so you can throw out any of the "age old aussie looking for a holiday" crap that gets shouted every time.
Surely Carmont and Gidley are shining examples of quality players still at 28+..........  |

Only fans of Wigan RL would find a way to criticise the signing of a 28 year old British international centre.
Why bother supporting the club, DaveO? Every single thing they do clearly makes you miserable. Wouldn't you be happier in your life if you stopped following the club?

Kieth Senior is 32 and still in top form so we should be able to get at least 3 and a half seasons out of him plus we have some good young coming through better than Goulding its well worth signing him plus he is a Wigan lad and i believe he wanted to come here when Saints sold him but Saints would not deal with us at that time. |

| Although the gleeson signing would be immense , cant help feel sorry for goulding who i feel has a lot of potential. This would be a good deal for warringtona s they are getting two players now rather than waiting till the end of the season and letting him come to us for nowt.
Saying that though , lenagan should pay the wire to take mathers away  |

I believe everything is ready to go ahead, the only final hurdle is if Gleeson really wants to play in the NRL then he may just see out his contract at Warrington

If the rumours about Gleeson are true I am absolutely delighted. Get the lad home where he belongs.
I just wonder what hell I was doing at the reserve match though, never heard a murmur.

Could be a good signing if it comes off. I just worry that he may be over the hill, he hasn't seemed like anything like as much of a threat since he joined Warrington, and his GB performances have also gone consistanly worse since 2004. Having said that he'll be a hell of a lot more use to us than Mathers and will do more in attack than Bailey. Are there no good props around? We need a prop way more than a centre, mind I said that prop should be priority before we signed Roberts too.
