| Quote fcimp="fcimp"I think this is the way we as FC fans have to look at it, especially as we are languishing in an undesirable position in the league at the moment. Had we have been flying high at the top of the league, maybe this decision could seriously have been called into question.'"
To be honest, we've made an offer, that's all, it culd easily be just the club getting something in the media to detract attention from Agar's double charge and the poor on field performances, we may have made a really derisory offer, who knows.

Wasn't the book released after we'd signed him?

| He is a quality centre, no quota issues, available and we do need one. There could well be cap issues, but that can and maybe has already been backloaded to next year anyway.
He has had his problems on and off field, he has excess baggage but a good club support could maybe help. I can not see the present set up at FC helping in any way, if anything they have a worse track record then he has in dealing with players problems. Danny Brough had a few "diffiulties" with most of his clubs and he was under John Kear both here and at Wakey would seem to have settled him down. Some players like have the self destruct switch pushed down and they fade away after clubs give up trying. This would be the last house for Gleason which ever SL club he ends up at, he may know that and could turn out well.
His whole career would point to it heading towards the rocks before he even signs. I hope for his sake it works out well for him and the club, whichever club he chooses.

I believe the evidence that we certainly[i have[/i spent to the full cap - two penalties for spending over it. I'll accept the club's frequent statements that we spend at [ior near[/i the cap until someone offers evidence proving them wrong.
You claim we're not spending the cap. Prove it.

I agree, my concern is if we spend that money wisely, which I dont think we have done for many years.

exactly,
I've no doubt we've spent the full cap but as you say we clearly haven't spent wisely.

| What was Gleeson sacked for and have we offered him a contract?
Do the two clubs have different discipline rules, by that I mean would Gleeson have broke ours if he would have committed the same offences at Hull?

| I think Gleeson is worth a punt. I'm a big Rich Whiting fan but we all know about his lack of pace and that's why I don't think he'll ever be a great centre. If Gleeson had picked that loose ball up he'd have scored and that's something we sorely need in the side at the moment. That said, I'd still find a place for Whiting somewhere in the 17.

| Gleeson hasn`t signed yet . If he does he comes to Hull FC with a clean slate like Tansey did.
Tansey broke the rules and was shown the door. The same would apply to Gleeson.
A player of his quality should be snapped up by the Club . I`m sick of all the rubbish spouted on here about the Club`s lack of ambition. If Gleeson is available we should go for him.
For trying to sign a player of Gleeson`s ability Hull FC can not be called for lack of ambition.

| Quote Standee="Standee"So, we sack Tansey and then offer Gleeson a contract, is this not shameful double standards?'"
It's not double standards and suggesting that it's "shameful" is a tad melodramatic.
AFAIW Gleeson was discliplined once by Wigan for reasons not in the public domain. Nothing to do with us.
Tansey was sacked for breaching the Hull FC code of conduct three times.
