Gleeson has done very well for us, his 'supa' Saints form is a myth, his under performing here is a myth (barr a ropey by his own standards 2006).
As i've said, next year, I think he'll be superb.'"
Firstly point out in my recent posts on here where it would indicate i know nothing about rugby league?
His form at Saints was not a myth, on what grounds can you claim this? He was far sharper and in physicaly better condition, his passing game and ability to use his footwork has always been his main assett and is indeed top class and this is what still makes him a great threat.
His pace has dropped significantly in the last few years, as someone who watches rugby league every week regardless of the team, i do not attend Wigan week in week out, i have watched Gleeson fairly regullarly since he Hudds days where he was much sharper than he was at Saints although not as complete a player.
My worry is that year on year his condition seems to have detiriorated, i hope for Englands sake a new condtioner can get him back in shape and then he could be considered world class if he can add that extra yard of pace back to his game.
For what its worth he will never be in the same class as the bloke lining up in the opposite centre spot for Wire next year, he is truely worthy of the world class tag.
