I didn't think Mathers was playing for you anyway.

All the above your guessing at. You have no facts/evidence to back up your statements.

Lets see how he gets on first instead of going along with rumours, lets give him praise from the stands and lots of confidence then he will hopefully do well.

And considering How bad we've been just imagine How bad he's been Not to get into our team!

Regardless of the what ifs or maybes about Gleesons social life - for the first time in god knows how long we now have a threat to the opposition in both centres and two wingers who can finish. This has to improve us as a side.

IMO our 2 - 5 are on paper the best in the league and that includes Saints and Leeds.

He wasn't but he was still in the squad and there was always that worry he might get another chance. Now he can't although whats the bet he now finally finds his feet and rediscovers his pre NRL form!

Hernia op apparently.

It could simply be Wire needed the money given the Inland Revenue is sniffing around and is supposedly after a 6 figure sum for unpaid tax and/or N.I. contributions.



No he can't and if he has to look after Smith defending on the right side he won't look any better than any other we play in the right centre slot (when it comes to defense)!

I agree you have to make improvements one step at a time but I think we could have already addressed the prop situation. Players were available so while we have fixed one problem it was not the most pressing one IMO.

Dave

Nor mine but Nobby feels differently. The only concerns I've heard him raise are that the team is too young and he needed a centre. Well, he's got his player and raised the experience level/ average age of the squad. Does this heap even more pressure on him?

And maybe Humpty Dumpty & Scrooge didn't think they could fix the problem with the money/players availabe at the time????

Either way Dave I look at our backline compared to 3or4 years ago and can hardly stop Smiling!

Coley gone end of year (Surely!) and Bailey (Or at least on vastly reduced terms) To bring in a New Sh1tHou5e Prop with maybe a New 6 or 7 dependant on what happens with TL & where we envissage ST playing (I see him more as a 7??)

Gleeson is an improvement on what you've got so you should be happy even if he never recaptures his GB/Saints/Wire first season form.

Mathers is an improvement on what Wire have got ( in the way of fullbacks given Reardon's likely dismissal shortly ) so Wire should be happy even if he never recovers his Leeds/NRL/pre-Wigan form.

That can't be the only reason there so Bad is it!

Just for DaveO here goes! Maybe it was because they signed Higham!
