Good to see the WEP on the ball again with the Gleeson rumour - not. Most nationals have got it now.

Just been told a similar thing only my version was;
We want Shenton, Huddersfield want Gleeson back, Warrington want Whatuira and Cas want Goulding. Now Cas won't trade directly with us because we got them relegated and Huddersfield won't trade with Warrington because Ken Davey once bought a poodle off Lord Doug Hoyle that turned out to be a Cocker Spaniel. Huddersfield also won't trade with us because we gave them Kevin Brown (once bitten etc)...

We give Warrington Goulding and they give us Gleeson. We then swap Gleeson for Gidley (bear with me now). Gleeson is then swapped for Whatuira who is then swapped back for Gidley. Meanwhile Warrington swap Goulding for Shenton and then we swap Whatuira for Gleeson.

Out-rage-ous. See you in court.

As for that bit at the bottom. What a load of crap - are you suggesting that Rugby League clubs would create phantom transfers just to avoid directly dealing with a club even if the end result is identical? Say, involving Bradford, Saints and Wigan for example? It'll never happen.

I had mushy peas last week. A nice blast from the past.

And due to complicated Kolpak and EU trading rules we end up with David Vaealiki back...

I'm unsure about Gleeson signing for Wigan, we definitely need a decent centre for the right hand side of the field. But, if the rumours are true, do you think Gleeson is the ideal signing if one of our young players is going the other way, with regards Goulding?

Now, Shenton, he'd be a cracking signing! Not that it'll happen.
