| Quote worthing wire="worthing wire"I can't say I fully understand the decision, no, because there's all sorts of rumour and speculation flying around, and it's highly unlikely we'll get the real story.
The most telling statement perhaps is the 'fully committed' to the club bit. If Gleeson wanted out, then I guess there's little that could be done to keep him - other than perhaps attempt to persuade him he [umight[/u be better off at Warrington than Wigan. Clearly this either wasn't tried or didn't work, for whatever reasons.
The upshot is we've lost one of our most talented players - if Smith doesn't fancy trying to get the best out of him, fair enough. But:
1) Gleeson needs replacing in the squad
and
2) I'd like to see if Smith picks him for England again.'"
Again, not sure why you comment 'if Smith doesn't fancy trying to get the best out of him' as if he can't be d? Are you suggesting he just can't be bothered even trying?
It'll be fascinating to see if he picks him for England. I think he will. |

I'm suggesting that a coach should perhaps do his utmost to work with his best players - Gleeson, as one of Warrington's few bona fide internationals, surely fitted that description.
However you look at this, Smith has seen fit to get shut of him - maybe he tried to keep him, maybe he didn't. It would seem that he 'can't be d', though perhaps it wasn't worth being d about.
It's a massive decision to denude one's squad of a class player - I hope it proves to be a good one. |

| From the BBC website..
Quote [size=150:3dqgbw38I have possibly underachieved at club level[/size:3dqgbw38,Warrington have been tipped to make the breakthrough at the top of the sport for several seasons, but success has proved elusive for their talented squad.
"[size=150I have possibly underachieved at club level[/size," said Gleeson.
"I thought I was going to win stuff but it never quite happened, for reasons unknown. Hopefully I can move to Wigan and try something different.
"I think (new Warrington coach) Tony Smith will do wonders, but it's probably just run its course for me and Warrington - it's time to freshen up and it's probably best for all parties." '"
Yep. |

But it works both ways. No point in Smith doing his hardest with Gleeson if it's not reciprocated by Gleeson, hence the comments, "[iTony Smith has again reconfirmed that only players fully committed to Warrington Wolves are wanted at the club.[/i " |

Not too dissimilar from Wigan fans:
"He's overrated"
"He's a bad apple"
"He's always out drinking in Wigan"
"He's no better than Goulding"
to
"It's about time we had a decent attacking centre"
"He'll be a good role model for Goulding"
"Warrington's drinking culture ruined him
"I'm glad we've got Gleeson and I hope Goulding leaves"
Just like Matt King, Gleeson was crap when he played for someone else... |
