I dunno, it makes no sense to me otherwise. I don't see how you can lose a world class player like Gleeson and not replace him. Unless like you say he goes for home grown talent and uses one of our existing players to fill his place, but even then there is not at centre at the club who is as good as Gleeson atm.

Its a good deal all round, we need a creative centre, we have a winger in Roberts who has a great try scoring record. But as per we did to Calderwood we are ruining him with poor centre play.

He seems like he doesnt want to be a Wire player any more, so great for both clubs and maybe this is what he needs to spark him back into life.

And of course if rumours are correct, we get shut of penis hands mathers.

There's not a at the club full stop ,we need 2 now instead of 1 we have been playing Johnson and Grix at and they are both forwards,
The good news is we now have salary cap space to do this and if Reardon goes as well we will have enough space for two decent ,but we need them A.S.A.P ,next season won't do we need them now or we can right this season off from now on imo .

Intresting, the Wigan evening post is suggesting its a cash only deal www.wigantoday.net/warriors/Glee ... 5144001.jp

Is there only me in Warrington who still thinks Mathers will be good for us?

That's bizarre, calderwood was never a player who required on being fed by a centre to score trys, most of his coming from kick chases and tap re-starts.

i mean, he played outside chev walker FFS.

It will be difficult to get another centre now unless we are prepared to splash the cash. Everyone will be under contract.

I bet there is now some frantic ringing around players agents going on!

you'd like to think nrl, where they seem to be quite happy at releasing players early to pick up the $$$ over here. Can't think of many actual centres that i'd splash the cash on to get over here mid season other than the usual obvious targets.

plenty of people keep saying (esp pie eaters) mathers is rubbish etc.

but to be fair, our onfield performance, for me, is still in a crisis, despite the last 2 superleague wins i don't think we are anywhere near good enough yet even if a big injection of confidence was put into the current team and so mathers may not take us to dizzy heights but i reckon he'll be a decent short term gain for us and if he does find some of his old form then even better we've got a top player

I'm not quite sure whether he is happy to be there or not: www.wiganwarriors.com/news_full.asp?newsid=4666

I bet Noble's happy that he got shut of Mathers.

3 and 1/2 year contract at the age of 29 is a good deal for any player, especially as he'll be on top dollar for his last chance to 'earn big', so I'm sure he's happy despite the grimacing features.
