is it true that the only reason gleeson came available was that warrington owe the taxman over £100,000,so really they were forced to offload the player

That will be it. His ability will always be tempered by his liking for a hedonistic lifestyle! Mind you he isn't the only one at Warrington but he is certainly the first to be shown the exit door.

I'm glad we have a decent pairing now cause we aint had one in years

We al know what he's like but i'm going to reserve my judgement for a few months see how he goes on at a big club



I hope it works out really do but it will take a month or 2 for him to settle in proper

He was bought by Warrington will full knowledge of his extra curricular activities. He was only "shown the door" when £100k was offered.

Love how Wire fans have the "Holier than thou" attitude that Martin has been made an example of, rather than as part of a pure rugby commercial deal.

Looking for any scraps of comfort after a deal that sees them lose a quality international and gain Bloody Hell Mathers...

Anybody who reads the Wire board regularly, will know that Gleeson wasn't the most popular Wire player. Like Briers, many people wanted him shipping out.

Personally, I liked him, and think Wigan have got a very good signing, but it certainly isn't any bitterness from the majority of Wire fans.
Short term, he will be a loss of us, as Johnson will probably be 3, and he isn't anywhere near as good as Gleeson, but long term, I have faith in Smith, and the press release clearly shows that there was an issue.
