| ...how far we have come when we can actively choose to sell a current GB international to Wigan. And most of the supporters not be really bothered.

| Or is it just the fact that a lot of supporters are demoralized but also realise that Gleeson showed no sign of the form he played for GB or Saints at any time in his stint at the wire. I think it is a good deal to get rid of a player who doesn't want to play for us and get some cash at the same time and free up enough cap space to bring in 2 hopefully ,I just wish they had lined up the replacements 1st .

| i love how the wigan fans are trying to goad us and are having 'a big laugh' at us when
1. He was going anyway
2. He's a shadow of the player he used to be
3. He's a sulker
4. He likes his liquid (interpret that as you like)
5. He's selfish (someone explain the concept of a winger to him)
6. We are a team on the up and you over the past couple of season are going the other way
Wigan
guess what?
we don't care!

How?
We have just been shut of a player who has obviously eaten up a good chunk of the salary cap over the past few years and not pulled his weight in any shape or form over those years. Out with the rot in with the new.
Splendid bit of business from Mr Smith.

No it won't. First step into us being a star team and not a team of stars.

Either this post is the height of irony or you're in dire need of a musical education. Perpignan airport 2006? I was there and Gleese's guitar playing wasn't much past beginners' level.
No doubt he'll turn into Eric Clapton now he's at the Pies.

I dont think its the fact he has been sold, (good riddance i say), its who he has been sold to, the fact that he isnt cup-tied for this season, so effectively will play against us should we draw Wigan in any of the rounds and the fact that we dont seem to have any immediate replacement lined up, (although i might be wrong ).

we could end up playing wigan 4 times this season, 4 possibilites for him to prove his 100,000 price tag as a cheap one....

As highly as I rate the player when he is on form, he never performed anywhere near his best playing for us after 2005. But he showed he was still one of England's best three quarters in the World Cup so in that sense getting rid of him is a bad move.
Would be interesting if TS picked Gleeson for England in July.

As much as I share your sentiments 1-5, we have to concede surely that Wigan, over the last 3 seasons, have progressed 8th-6th-4th in the league final positions, whilst we have not shown any progression. So not sure how we can argue that we are a "team on the up".
Also, I believe points 2 through 4 apply to Mr Briers also.

There hasn't been many players making the transfer from Warrington to Wigan. I am struggling to think of any.

Billy McGinty, Neil Courtney, Brian Case, Ian Potter, Martin Crompton are all recent examples that spring to mind.

Well that helps with what I was thinking. They are all more than ten years ago or more and none of them are in the Andy Gregory or Martin Gleeson class.
Although thinking about it the flow of players from Wigan to Warrington has hardly been sparkling either.

Kieth Holden was an absolutely brillaint player for us whose career was sadly ruined by a pot-hole on a joke of a Station Road pitch.
