If true it's a pure quality signing, I couldn't give two hoots what he's done in the past, I'd rather him be here than at any other club.

If he'd not been a naughty boy he would still be at Wigan and pulling on International jerseys, and I wouldn't be surprised (form allowing) if he makes the 2013 world cup.

Steady...

How can you class Gleeson as loyal. What a pathetic statement. He had no choice but to sign for us. He might of had offers from the kick n clap brigade but that would of been a massive gamble for him making a change from the game he's used to playing. He's signed for us because his mate has got him a job nearer home on a two year contract keeping him in superleague plying his trade, nothing to do with Loyalty to Salford or rugby league, if there is loyalty it's probably on Long's part.

I think the signing proves and shows we still accommodate Dad's Army contenders looking to put their feet up with a big fat cigar.

Like i said on another thread people who want to play for Salford are Local upper coming lads with something to prove or someone looking for that last contract coming towards their retirement. FACT....

He's not signed yet .. just a small matter of ' takeover' .
but if true ,Surprisingly Salford are not his only options - RU , Catalans and likely another SL club or two. I would expect Long would be 99% of the reason it's Salford.
I'm leaning to believe in Sean after the effect on our style of play last season , and will have to trust to veivers to keep the regime so he doesn't go off the rails.
Anyone who read into the history of his ban whilst at Hull may understand he was ' badly advised ' rather than knowingly doing something wrong.
As to the age comment .I remember smirking when Bradford brought Steve Menzies over as a 35 yrs old, 39 in December with a new 1 year contract at Catalans.

We're talking Martin Gleeson here not Steve Menzies, Menzies is a legend of the game back home some players are an acception to the rule. Name me a three quarter who was mustard in his mid 30's at Salford only Gary Jack comes to mind with me, Gleeson's nowhere near that calibre.

So there's room for another one.

George Carmont played to 34 and was still a class above centre 10 years his junior
Gene Miles was 32 when he sign for Wigan , wasn't a bad player I believe

I'm sure they'll be a few more if we had a good think

Hancock!

They never played for Salford.

Phil - Panto season Voice ` Oh yes they did` en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Ha ... gby_league) (Michael Hancock`s wiki) Played for the Reds age 32 Notorious spot on there.
