Gleeson going to wigan can only strengthen them, he's one of the countries best players, but he relies on halves to get him the ball in good positions, that will continue to be a problem at Wigan like it is at Wire.

Love this. Wigan sign a player who has been booted out of two major clubs and pay him a fortune. His best days are behind him and the pies tie him up for years (like Fielden).

Wigan really are a shambles.

Thanks for your input, Cyclops.

Hardly, although Tim Smith hasn't been firing he hasn't had good centres either side of him. Now that he does it will be interesting to see if he can pick his performances up, he had 2 very good centres at Parra and hopefully he can give the same service to our centres like he did to them. We can only wait and see how this develops I suppose.

Comparing Gilmour to Gleeson is ludicrous. You don't see twenty threads a month on here detailing his social activities

Does this necessarily mean that it is all true?

and he never gives anything less than 100% on the field - which can't be said of Gleeson.

And yet Gleeson is the better player.

Just admit it, you're scared that the signing may strengthen Wigan.

Given Wigan's current state they couldn't fail to be strengthened by the signing of a quadraplegic gibbon.

It was the model professional bit about Gilmour that I was on about. Ask anyone from the Wakefield / Dewsbury areas about him.

That's high on my priority list.

like Lee Gilmour

Gilmour doesn't come with the off-field problems that Gleeson does.

They've already signed Coley.
