I remember a few matches near the start of last year when Gleeson appeared to repeatedly refuse to pass at Riley at all costs. To be fair Riley wasn't that great at the time

Maybe the sign of a good centre is knowing when not to pass. Sometimes you see a centre pass simply because he's just about to get tackled and throwing it out to the winger who is trapped on the line resulting in being tackled into touch.

Sometimes you got to say sod it, take the tackle or try and burst it

As good as Gleeson was, there were plenty of times when he did throw silly passes, either into touch or to a player who was going to get bundled. Some of the little flick passes he used to do were silly.

There were plenty that came off, but he was always looking for the pass.

Good game from Bridge, his defence seems to be improving slowly but surely, put's in some big hits and makes some decent breaks, centre is defiantly turning out to be his best position.

his footwork and turn of pace is excellent his tackling has improved as well looks a decent player who has seemed to find a postions what suits him

As I said last week got shut at the right time, he was'nt commited to warrington and I think we have done well out of the deal. Mathers is looking good.

It always has been.

I said at the time that it was a good deal for Warrington getting rid of Gleeson and it has proved to be the case. He has always been overated imo and has looked poor for Wigan so far. Warrington have moved on and look better without him.

Fully agree with you there, I think grix may have found his position, lets hope him and Bridge both stay injury free now.
