Signed a 2 year deal with us, will be anounced over the next few days. Thoughts.....

[size=150=#FF0000And there will be no talk about any non-rugby-specific aspects of Martin Gleeson's life on this thread or else bans may get handed out.[/size

well i hope his fitness is better than his namesake already with us!!

he will have no problem passing a fitness test with us

he sounds like a salford signing www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/rugbyl ... ds-newsxml

Wtf do we need another centre and a crocked one at that, or has MG turned into a quality line breaking prop all of a sudden.

Is this bang on Corvo? Rumours of Gleeson's, ahem, lifestyle (hope that is ok Iain) are doing the rounds, but do we think what he has to offer would improve our back line? Anyone else a little concerned that a certain culture is already too familier at our club?

Not just me that thinks it's no use having all these backs without some decent go-forward then?!

Hell yes I'd take Gleeson as he is still absolute quality, said after the game at the DW that he is the very type of player we need as much for his onfield leadership as for skills as a player, from what we saw last night of how Nero can play think that Gleeson would be a brilliant centre partner.

wouldnt touch gleeson with a fecking barge pole the guys is not only trouble but in my opinion one of the most over rated players in the super league leave well alone

MR if the rumours are true then I'm sorry no matter how good he is I don't want someone like him at the club.

Also if we can't afford to ditch mcrae how the feck can we afford gleeson?

spot on

If he's actually been sacked by the Pies, then no transfer fee, plus presumably it's a buyer's market in negotiating the wages!

could be a cheap acquisition, which could bring new fans to the game, at no great outlay, plus McRae's minders will need something to do.

if he can do it on the pitch fine

off the pitch none of my business

Cant beleive i am reading this, if what i heard is true (which it may well not be of course!) i would be suprised if hes playing for anyone again. Wouldnt touch with a barge pole.

Sign him now,

Sorry MOD!!! I think I would ask the same, do we really need another centre? Would much rather another winger or line busting prop!!

If he was to get a move to another club id imagine it would be a local side as he got banned for drink driving too in november. Hes a real catch.

No chance, just another Paul cooke, trouble follows him everywhere.

I can't see it, if I'm honest.

I can't see why everyone is so against it, we as a club give 2nd chances to troubled stars, they nuckle down they get rewarded, they continue to spirle out of control we bump them off and the golden rule is when u leave salford the only way is down simple.

I don't feel like I need to go down a the charge sheet of ex and current salford players who have used our club to revive a career.

I rate Gleeson highly, probably 2nd only to yeaman @ hull in the centre position, great try score, great try maker, great defender, can play standoff, good talker on the field would certainly strengthen our edges where we are targeted week in week out.

Would prefer another hooker or a big prop but if he is available and cheap because he its his last chance its worth a chance for me.

As far as I`m concerned he can spiral out of control somewhere else, if Gleeson can`t behave himself at the likes of Saints and Wigan I`m not interested.We`ve had enough crap going on off the pitch over the last couple of seasons without adding to it.

QED

100% QED

Second chance? Do you mean third? One of Tony Smith's actions upon arriving at Warrington was to move him on.

PS

Should that read fourth?

Look at the manner he has left/is set to leave, with the exception of Huddersfield.

Fantastic player, not so much as an individual.
