I to be honest think that Gleeson isn't good enough. I think he is very overrated and is not even a good centre let alone a good stand off. Chris Bridge is a far more creative player and when Monaghan is back then i would have Monaghan and Bridge at 6 and 7.

It would be preferable if Smith can get Briers and Monaghan to play together and I hope he can do it ,Bridge does deserve a chance and hopefully he will get it against York.IMO Bridge is unproven in any position and nobody knows exactly what his position actually is maybe he is a master of none ,I don't think anyone has seen enough of him to find out yet, he is a worry on the discipline and professionalism side of his game.
Gleeson is utter garbage at HB but at Centre on his day he is world class his problem is he has fewer world class days than he does average days his problem is the same as the rest of the team consistency which hopefully Smith can bring in .
Maybe Gleeson the world class Centre left all his quality back at saints he consistently performed when he was there maybe his head has never been in the right place since he signed for us but the world is full of maybe's .

Bridge's passing from acting half was possibly the worst I have ever seen EVER. So as much as I like him hooker is not for him. Get him back in the centres.

Get him back in the reserves where he belongs!

Thought you'd say that

And do what with the best player from the last 2 games in Briers?

Don't forget that both the club and the RFL have listened to LWF and made changes because he thought it would be better.

I expect the North Stand to be renamed as the Padders Stand next week

Yeh it was, maybe if he works closely with Lowes, Higham and Clarke it could improve.
