And Kath was definitely in Wigan today. She was at the Wigan U18's game.

What position did she play?

Hooker

Gleeson has signed a 2 year Deal with Cronulla.

She'd have to pay me, as well as providing me with a blindfold and a large tub of swarfega.

The only fact here is we are missing Gleeson, especially in defence. The club will take as long as they need to sort everything out for the good of the team and player, I've seen nothing during Ian lenegans time in charge to suggest otherwise. I dont see how constantly moaning that you "have a right to know" (you really don't!) is going to help?

Left Wigan. Oz in 2 weeks, Cronulla sharks. Done.

We get a transfer fee?

Until anything is confirmed Gleeson is still at the club, so anyone who says otherwise will just have to wait for news from the club.

I had forgotten about it on the whole, if the club could make an announcement they would.

I trust IL to sort it out in the RIGHT way, not to just come and give us all the gossip. Our clubs now seems to pride itself on how it looks in the press. Look at the Leeds saga last year for example and we made them look like idiots.

I would much prefer any situation like this is dealt with behind closed doors, obviously I would like to know but that is a selfish view not looking at the feelings of the club or Gleeson himself.

Yes we miss him but Joel was quality in the final quarter at centre, he could be a serious weapon and open up a space in the backrow which is packed with talent all the way down through the players who play in the 20's.

They should have got it sorted quicker because that is in the best interests of the club. Simple as that. I cannot see how anyone can think its been a good thing to have this drag on as long as it has.

It's also in the best interest of the player because the longer it goes on and the fact the club remains silent opens the player up to all sorts of possibly unfounded and detrimental speculation.



I am not sure what pre-season dinners etc have got to do with this but the club dragging this out in complete silence does no one any favours and either not having him in the team or not getting him out of the club is detrimental to the squad.

No one wants a blow by blow account but all the bar room lawyers speculating why nothing has happened more quickly are just fuelling the rumour mill as much as anyone speculating as to what really happened. There is one way to stop all that - get it sorted out and stop dragging it out.

I agree with DaveO, as far as I can see there are only four possibilities

1.Player is injured and not available for selection,
2.Player is on some kind of leave of absence
3.Player is suspended pending some kind of disciplinary situation
4.Player has been sacked.

Surely the club could make a statement saying which of these applies (without any legal issues clouding the issue). At least then everyone would be aware of the situation or status.
