To rock the boat in such a way you would need to have a player worth taking a risk on - Sarginson is not that player. Whilst slightly better last night he was still only 5/10, 6 at a real push.

I fear the season may be done. I don't get a great deal of confidence from the performance with ball in hand, body language or post match comments to think we have many gears left in us for a big finish. The weekly comments by Wane about last tackle options and finishing the sets better feels like groundhog day. Who knows, with Lockers and Williams back it could all turn around. I'm sadly not convinced though.

People talking about Lachlan Lam but Adrian has already said that if Lachlan comes he will only be here for a year. That doesn’t help with continuity again, unless Edwards gets to pick someone to sign for us for when he starts.

Smith and Green waiting in the wings?

Do you think they’ll be ready come 2020? Hearing good things on both but we may just need somebody to plug a gap for a year or two around then to give them chance to come through. That’s assuming Williams stays as well because if he goes then we’ll probably need two players aside from the year of Lam between now and the start of 2020.

Matty and Blake will be too old by then

Shorrocks and Woods and Hampshire before them were also waiting in the wings. I like the young wiganers as much as anyone, but they don’t always develop to be the players we expect.
