His ban is up next month. If he has rehabilitated himself, Do you think he has enough hunger to do a job for someone?

I would have loved another couple of seasons out of him but now at 32, He could be a Widnes or Broncos type player.

He's off to Union isn't he?

May be Red soon!!

Gleeson has sort of wasted his career. I say sort of because he's been quite successful but hasn't hit the heights he could have if he'd have been wired right.

He will always have a place in Wigan history though due to his 2 early try's in that 2010 grand final.

He'll stay in league IMO.

Did he not say he was disillusioned with league and the way he was treated and blah blah?

He signed for Preston Grasshoppers some time ago. His ban is up on 12th November. I think that he presumed that some of the bigger RU clubs might look at him and give him one last big pay day, but he won't make a lot at Preston.
Sean Long is also there though, so a move to SAlford could well be on the cards.

Totally agree with what you have said here about Gleeson wasting his career and I have no doubt that he would of achieved so much more had he been able to control himself in terms of his lifestyle.

I think when he does eventually retire from the game he will have plenty of regrets and will probably be remembered more for his off field behaviour rather than what he did on it.

There are some very interesting reports about what happened the day he turned up for training half baked when Madge was in charge.

Loves the City

care to divulge?

in terms of regrets, gleeson strikes me as the sort of guy who will be telling people in the pub as an old man about how he was mistreated.

Im told that he arrived for training drunk and that a number of other players tried to cover it up by taking him to the showers and pouring coffee down his neck - apparently Madge caught them and informed Gleeson on the spot that he was no longer in the clubs plans.

The other players involved including Tommy L where given a good dressing down for good measure and fined by the club.

I believe he joined Hull shortly after this.

There's better stories than that about Gleeson at Wigan training. ^

Go on then...

Think he is FINISHED in the professional game, on playing & coaching front.

That's not a recipe for disaster! Long and gleeson.
If he is going to try his career again could do well to move away from friends and temptation

It's one of the reasons Amos was dropped around the same time also.
