And got rid of Smith, Phelps, Mossop, Goulding, Pryce, Mathers, Bailey and Hock.

Makes a change from all the usual rumours that usually get printed about Gleeson on this messageboard.


I guess they'll all get passed off as mistaken identity now.

Phelps, Pryce and Mossop off on loan to Leigh to free up cap space for Gleeson. If true, we must want him badly !!

Someone mentioned that on the Leigh board - don't know if that's where you have heard it from?

Assuming this is not an April Fools wind up, could Leigh take Phelps because I'm sure in the Championship your only allowed one quota player - do Leigh have a quota player?

It's a lovely thought. But the insurmountable problem with SBW is the money. Okay, he may be peeved with his current club, but surely the rest of the RU world will then be standing in line with massive offers to table.

The only way SBW could come to Wigan would be if he was prepared to take a gigantic pay-cut, and everything he's done in his career so far suggests that this is won't happen.

I'm not saying this is an April Fool's, but let's not kid ourselves. Gleeson might come off. Danny Brough might come off. But SBW is not going to.

Now i do not for one minute expect us to sign SBW but i also do not think his career has shown him to be totally money motivated. He turned down the huge offer from Saints to remain a Bulldog, he also turned down other offers in the NRL to stay loyal to the dogs, it is only since his new management team have turned up has he taken the cash.
