| The rumours about Sarginson predate his colossal brain-fart last Friday and his recent poor defensive displays.
There's been talk about him wanting to leave since very early this season. If that's true, whether it be to the RU (which I would openly disrespect him for) or to the NRL (which I would grudgingly respect him for) - it seems that yet again a player's agent has managed to persuade his client that, despite much evidence to the contrary, the grass is greener elsewhere. And there isn't much Wigan can do about that, other than offer him silly money which in their eyes he may not be worth (which I would hope they wouldn't do).
So I don't think it's as much a matter of Wigan wanting to get rid of a poor performer as has this performer lost his touch because his head is elsewhere? Is he, in effect, doing a Brian Carney?
If he is, we're better off without him, though I'd be the first to acknowledge that with Thornley and Gelling injured we have no option but to play him at present. In fact, I'm unimpressed by our centres across the board. A couple of years ago, in George Carmont, we had the best centre we've fielded since Steve Renouf. Now we don't seem to have anyone in the club who is actually a real centre.

... many of which were a product of - a) Saints not missing tackles and b) Wigan players panicking as the tourniquet tightened.

Well, only a month ago, taking up his extra year's option was announced, so there can't be too many issues there.

I wouldn't count on that. I hope he gets his act together, but the Sarge of 2015 is so far not the Sarge of 2014, IMO.

And it was mostly justified. A lot of Sarg's form in 2014 was poor and he didn't look comfortable in either centre position. It was an upward turn of form towards the business end of 2014 and 2 excellent games for England that people seem to use to judge him. He's actually probably been more consistent this year than he was last, but for the defensive howlers that seem to be getting more frequent.
I hope he stays but I don't think it's the end of the world if he moves on.
