I'm at the reserve game and there's many differant, unconnected people suggesting we've signed martin gleeson.

I'll move this to the rumour section after I get more feedback.

I was at the game and I heard this also. Thought I had some inside gossip only to see a four page thread about it!

40-6 the reserves finished.

Lee Mossop and Ben Davies looked strong.
Karl Pryce looked dangerous the few times he had the ball however lethargic he may look.
Josh Charnley (I think) looked impressive for me.
Tim Smith showed some nice touches as well.
Convincing performance. Huddersfield were just like the first team holding on but the referee gave them a warning and then sent one player off to the sin bin. Wish we had that last night.

Darrell Goulding went off injured.
Logan Tomkins picked up a knock.

Saw Sean Ainscough, Phelps and the Tomkins brothers at the game. No sign of Mathers.

From what i hear Smith is one that is going the other way not heard anything about Goulding mentioned

We havn't got any overseas spaces left, so that puts that one to bed.

Its like shopping for clothes, you do have to pay the big bucks for good clothes and sometimes you may get the occasional cheap tkmax bargain but if you buy too much bargains you end up with a poop wardrobe.

Same can be said for players.

Great analogy.

Get in a good quality organiser (no choice but to turn to the NRL for this) and people will realise that things are nowhere near as bad as some are making out.

Especially if we are able to get the very good quality British centre that is rumoured and maybe Andy Lynch.

Very good point. As one of my earlier posts said we are so close to being a really good team.

A organising SH to put us in good territory with kicks, a centre to create space for Roberts and Prop to not only share the work load but intimidate other teams and i truly think we are sorted.

Dobosn, Gleeson and Mason/Petro and we are a different team

Kearney as well btw

Too many comings and goings in one move for me.

Mathers/Goulding makes sense adding Smith in for Monoghan, removing Goulding etc, is all becoming more like guesswork.

The original rumour is just Gleeson to Wigan.

The players going to Warrington I didn't hear anything about it.

Let's wait and see. Incidentally I really hope it is true!

Exactly. Which leaves us with a tough decision at the end of the year re Tommy, do we keep him as a 9 and look to loan McIllorum out or do we bid him farewell?
