But who's to say that means he's trouble in the dressing room? He could be one of the most popular guys in there, just because he swears at camera's and possibly nails snatch whilst his wife is pregnant doesn't then mean he is a bad influence in the dressing room. Really turd players who seemiongly keep their noses clean could equally be a bad influence in the dressing room and we'd ever know it

How dare you speak of Super Kevin Sinfield like that

I'd imagine G Neville was pretty annoying even as a team mate!



Not sure Gleeson would be the answer for us. I'd save the money for when we actually need it.

Your quite right, just pointing out that people don't realise always realise that their drinking in the last chance saloon, even when the the bar man has put beer towels over the pumps, turned off the lights and gone home!

IMHO this is a thread going nowhere.

I beg to differ - it's going to one of two places:



1. Gleeson signs for someone else and the thread is locked.



2. Gleeson signs for us, and a discussion about the relative merits of that signing ensues.

I think we should make every effort to sign him up if we think we have any hope of staying up this year.



At the end of the day hes a seasoned pro (a talented one at that) and we dont have many of them at the moment.

John Kears interview with the YEP (see other thread) would smack as hollow if we don't at least bid for Gleeson.

Mainly because getting the sonsorship papers through is only the first step. See John Kears interview in the YEP on the other thread. Realistically with the border control agency as they are it could be August/September before we could get anyone over anyway.



But don't let facts get in the way of you moaning about our lack of all things Australian!!

I was thinking the same thing; if the problem is that quality players aren't available, when they are, we should be moving mountains to get them here. Otherwise, as you say, Mr Kears words become just rhetoric.

I think it goes there, and that is why as far as WT goes, it's going nowhere.

From what I have been told, we are best of staying well away, I'm sure others know better, but that's what I've been told.

What have you been told? PM me if you want, I just want to be nosey!

Its come directly from one of their players...not just from somebodies sisters aunties uncle who used to clean shaun edwards boots.

If its not from Sun Bed Kid its not true
