To be honest, while not generally a fan of signing for signing's sake, if players of Gleeson's quality become available, if the price is right we should definitely be interested.

If we're going to sign a player and if we think right cenrte is an area of need then he is the calibre of player we should sign.

However, with his reupted salary at Warrington I think the chances are slim.

Gleeson must be doing something radically wrong if Smith is prepared to offload him to a rival club. After all he's a British test centre and not exactly over the hill.

While the Bulls are short of a decent centre (or two!) I'd be concerned if we were in the running for him as it may be the reason for him leaving Warrington is a reason not to sign him.

Quote: tvoc "Does it look like Wigan need to unload Mathers and Goulding's salaries this season for Gleeson to fit within the cap?'"


I wondered about this....Im not sure the both of them will be on Big contracts, but it would seem that Yes Wigan would need to unload them. It could also be that they want rid of Mathers and are trying to broker a way of getting rid and maybe just saving themselves of a transfer fee. I know they want Gleeson but are reluctant to lose Goulding so this may also suggest they have room to play with...?

This maybe a stupid question regarding Fieldens £400'000 odd move but transfer fees arent affected by the salary cap at all are they. Teams are free to pay whatever they want in terms of transfer fees???

The rumours (I know, I know) are simply about the size of the salary preventing Smith boosting the squad elsewhere.

Correct. Any transfer fee paid to another club has no impact on the buyer's salary cap.

The odd part of the system was IIRC the receiving team can't include the fee received as income when assessing the old 50% of turnover deciding the level of spend allowed under the cap. As that system has been replaced by a maximum flat cap it's all irrelevant now anyway.

icon_biggrin.gif That was going to be my next question! So thankyou. I suppose its sensible for Warrington to therefore try and exchange Gleeson for two players rather than a cash sum. There not the most cash strapped club after all. If the rumours are true that Gleesons wage is ridiculously high, getting rid and two new players seems a good bit of Business from Mr Smith.

It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.:1157.jpg



I reckon, based on what my friends at Warrington have said, Gleeson would have to be willing to take a circa £50k pay cut to come to Leeds.

Wigan will break the cap for him, they already have "form".

Tvoc, is Senior OoC at the end of this year? Whilst I'd be happy to see Keith play on for Leeds, there is no doubt that Gleeson would make a good signing if he would fit into our pay structure.

If that's true all credit to him similar to what Ellis did when he first joined, would love to get him but really can't see it.

At the moment, Yes.

As for Wigan breaking the cap they simply wouldn't be allowed to register Gleeson's playing contract unless there was room or they'd made room to do so through legitimate channels.

Since the cap went 'Live' in 2008(?) there have been no reported issues and the system should more or less prevent any breach, either deliberate or accidental from occuring.

We could get rid of Buderus? That'd pay for Gleeson and a new South Stand this year.

Gleeson is a cracking player and all that but...(if the rumours are true)...

Will Wigan ever learn? Offloading (at least) two decent young squad players to make room for another star name

I don't think off loading Mathers will do them any harm. As has been commented on before, he looks a shadow of the player we knew at Leeds, the 2 knee re-constructions look to have effectively finished him. It's a shame for him, but that's life.
