Where would he play?? Would you put him at fb and move Hicks back to the wing? And what when Reardon comes back (whenever that is). I think we'll have more options, but that aside, am i the only one who wants Gleeson to stay?

Is he coming back?

I don't rate him, but if Smith does then that'll do for me.

I know talking about this is a bit restricted, but isn't there a rather large chance that Reardon won't be back??...

Nobody is getting excited, just wanting to know what people think about him?

Sorry, bit of confusion here.....I was more refering to those who are slating the possible signing of Mathers...

Personally, I always rated him at Leeds...obviously things went sour for him down under, and at the moment his career seems to have stalled, along with a few others, over at Wigan.

It's possible a move may re-ignite his career, and having worked together before, its highly likely Tony Smith might be the man to get him going again.

an average full back is better than no fullback and gleeson leaving anyway.

hicks is a winger, riley would at the very least need cover and reardon well lets just say i hope he never puts a wire shirt on ever again

How long since he left Leeds? 5 years? That's a fair while without playing any of the skills you picked up as a youngster and then under Tony Smith.

I'd have the Leeds version of Mathers, but not the Titans or Wigan version and I'm not sure TS could turn him round this side of 2010, meaning Rley and Hicks would be better options at full back

3 or 4 depending on your view of it.
