I agree, I think Sarginson is a good utility back. I suspect that he's on a wedge after returning from the NRL though, and he isn't worth it. Let go, or re-sign him on relative peanuts.

Sarg was one of the standouts tbf..along with Greenwood and Hardaker and a spelled SOL.

Sarginson tried his socks off, he would make a very good utility back/squad player.

I’ve been a fierce critic of Powell but he did alright yesterday particularly with regards effort but effort has always been his strong point. The best way to summarise Powell as to why he isn’t good enough to play 9 for us is that hes not crafty enough.

Even as a Sarginson backer he had a nightmare. Three errors from his first three touches and a shocking miss on Ryan Atkins for his try.

I thought Greenwood was poor as well tbh. He needs to find more aggression in his defence although he’s always a threat with the ball.

Hardaker had his best game in a Wigan shirt until the kick to touch and Lockers rolled back the years.

Sarginson didn’t drop the ball at the play the ball. The referee made a mistake and it resulted in Warrington’s first try!
He did make two mistakes but he also ran 60 metres to score a perfectly good try and worked hard throughout the game.
Gene miles, he ain’t, but there are about five in the team who are worse.

Spot on this. Defensively, Greenwood has improvements in him, as has Bullock who was very slow at marker for the Clarke try.
I’ve got no doubts whatsoever that Hankinson would have made the tackle on Atkins. He’s every right to feel aggrieved at not keeping his place and should come straight back in next week.

Apparently we we have signed Mitch Clark from Cas for next season, but already some on the Cas forum are suggesting letting him come now on loan til the end of the season, with Sarginson going the other way.

That would be an interesting development.

I'm not in the Save Sarge camp. I feel he's a mistake-machine (and always has been), and while he scored his no-try yesterday very effectively, being able to go 60 yards should only be what you'd expect from a Wigan three-quarter.

The question is, if he goes and we get a solid prop in return - which we are crying out for, could we live with Hankinson at right centre for the rest of the season?

I've not seen enough of him to be sure. Big call.

Please let that happen

I must have been at a different game then.

You probably were

he lost control of the ball

Even forgetting about the handling errors, his one to one tackle attempt on Atkins was a shocker and he did exactly the same against Saints in the first game of the season when Niqama went through him. It’s a real area of weakness for him.

Catching, tackling and passing are his areas of weakness. Maybe he should consider playing some other sport, perhaps union?
