We aren't desperate to get him in the team. We shouldn't be looking to change the team for the sake of it anyway.

He is returning from injury, played 80m in the reserves, and should come into contention during the next fortnight IMO.

True.

It's good to see a new signing can't get a sniff of first team action.

Or is it?

Wouldn't class him as a new signing, more of a afterthought.

I can imagine the conversation with wigan went something like:

Wigan: £100k for Gleeson

Wire: Erm... not sure

Wigan: Ok, we'll throw Mathers in for free

Wire: Deal

Rubbish.

I bet as such, the deals were two seperate entities only linked by value, ie, Gleeson to Wigan, £100-120k, Mathers to Warrington £20k, knocked off the £120k, so just £100k. Had Mathers not joined Warrington, It wouldn't have impacted on the Gleeson transfer.

Obviously all values made up. If you think Smith would just 'take a player' that he's not too fussed about having, your daft. Everything he has done since his arrival has been about shaping this team to become 'his team'.

So Kevin Penny was playing regular football before Tony Smith took the helm?

As for Reardon, it was one of the best things Smith has done since he's been here.

Didn't Smith used to keep Burrows on the bench for Leeds when he was coach for a good while?

Smith knows how to bring the young lads through, and if Penny can't develop under sombody like him, well that's down to Penny.

after watching penny for the reserves yesterday i cant see him being in the first team for along time.

mathers didnt do much either. two passes that went straight into touch.he shouted alot. just back from an injury so needs to get abit of form back maybe.
