Nail on head!!

Shocking really.

hardly comparable situations. Hock was cut and dried. With Gleeson, and i am a big fan of the player, we just don't know the back story, and he does have "form".

You're right "we" don't know hence why I put "alleged" in my post so only commenting on the speculation. If it's something worse (though I can't think what and I haven't heard any different) then fair enough. My opinion and always has been is that I'm only interested in what the players do on match day.

I remember from reading Jason Robinson's book (the interesting first half of it) that before he went t-total he regularly turned up to training hungover/still drunk. It didn't affect his performances.

longy travels to hull from wigan every day for training, i think

I'd like to think we are searching high and low for a replacement for Gleeson. If not, it makes the decision all that much more strange.

I think, if rumours are to be believed, then the club simply had to act. Letting Gleeson's actions go without punishment wasn't an option.

Possibly yeah, but realistically can they have been that bad, I mean if another SL side is going to sign him almost instantly.

I've thought that a few times myself but I guess what ever Gleeson did the Wigan club thought it crossed a line they weren't prepared to compromise on.

Maybe we set our standards high, maybe Hull don't or maybe Hull just see an excellent opp to snap up a very good player for very little.

I don't, however, think Wigan would have gone down this route if it wasn't a serious offence or distraction on Gleeson's part.

never mind if true he has signed for hull fc, not like wigan have ever screwed anybody or team over in the past few years is it
