Quote: St. Chunter "hold on a minute, you cant tell me the fact he started was the reason he played poorly? i didnt see the game so have no idea whether he did or didn't but what stops him having an impact from the start against a team like barrow? at the top level where the margins between success and failure are small then it may be fair to say someone is 'better' as an impact player than starting, but it is never an excuse for performing poorly'"


I guess what is being said is that he has much more of an impact against tiring opposition than fresh opposition, hence starting that game eliminating this key strength.

Quote: Tony Catsmith "woah woah woah, he looked bad against barrow?

that's seriously worrying.'"


For the rest of super league I agree. If he can knock down defences in super league for fun then why couldn't he against Barrow?

Wigan never came out of second gear and won the game more comfortably than the scoreline suggested. Barrow played well and threw everything they had at Wigan. Good game to watch but Wigan won the game with more energy levels for Thursdays match than St.helens and if we are to have any chance of winning we will have to play at a high intensity.

At the end of the day, Gleeson is a class player. I'm gutted that he's ended up at Wigan.

Like Fielden, dispointed he didnt have a go in the NRL.

I cant believe that players turn down the chance to play and live in Austraila and play in the best competition and against the best players.

Definately. One of a very select number of players who can hold his head up high after the World Cup too.

I think it was more that the NRL and Australia turned the player down.

Quote: Alex BP' "Sure it was.'"


Well considering Gleeson made no secret of the fact he wanted to go to Australia, what do you think made him change his mind and give up on his dream move to sign for wigan on, according to your fellow fans, a small wage?

Let me guess, is it because wigan are the most famous club in the world?
