According to th'Observer, Salford have expressed an interest but the player is 'digging his heels in'!

if gleeson was to go say at the end of March - how would this effect the salary cap - would it free up April - Nov's wages?

Now I am sure I read a rumour that he contract was staggered over years and he was going to be on £180K a year for the later years of his contract?


Does this mean we will have 8/12ths of his salary to spend this season to replace him or bring in players - could get a good player for £120K

It depends what, if anything, we have to pay him in compensation/severance pay, which I suspect is what all the delays in announcing anything are for.

Where does compensation come into this scenario.
He is either guilty so get rid, or innocent and continue to play.

He is basically trying to get Wigan to pay him off or to enter a possible protacted legal battle. He has done lots of things wrong but Wigan or rather one person may have overstepped the mark with him in the informal sacking process.

Incidentally it would not suprise me to see him end up at Widnes.
