Yeah I always thought the word was he was going to come back and finish up over here.

After Johns Gleeson was probably the biggest in terms of impact on fans, and general 'buzz'. We paid a big transfer fee which showed SJM's intent and willingness to dip into his pocket to bring a real talent to the Wire ( Gleeson was one of the top centres in world rugby at the time ). As others have said, the Johns 'buzz' was all the greater because it was but a short gap from signing him to his actually playing for the team. Sandow will be similar. I'd expect at least 1000 extra supporters at the first Supr 8 game at the HJ as a result of this.
