In all honesty i think Gleeson will continue to prove to be a poor signing. He has lost a lot of pace in the last four years or so which was particularly evident against Bradford a few weeks back, he was easily tracked back by some of the opposition forwards let alone backs.

Good business by St.Helens and Warrington.

Gleeson provides strength on that side.

Defensively I though he added a lot when he came, offensively he's not been to good, now that could be down to a couple of things first his partnership with Roberts doesn't seem to be there yet and secondly he doesn't really get that much ball down his side, most things go through Carmont, plus are crap go forward doesn't really help any of are backs.

As a thread on the wire forum said - I hope Wigan havent kept the receipt for Gleeson.!

I think plenty of people get confused about the talents of Martin Gleeson.

He is a fantastic talent when he is given good ball in an inch of space. He generally doesn't create something from nothing, and is similar to Gidley in that his good plays usually come off the back of the team being on a roll.

At Warrington he got a lot of good ball from Briers, whereas at Wigan I just don't think they have quite worked out exactly how to use him just yet, but make no mistake about it, when they do, he will be a good signing.

He used to get stick at Warrington for performances when we were on the back foot, yet he is limited to what he can actually do without field position and good ball.
