All a team has to do is get a simple one vs one on him and he's beat. That is unacceptible for a side that is challenging for a super league title. To be fair to Sarg Joel was just as bad on the other side, he was beaten way too easily but he's a monster at second row. That formulates to a simple suggestion, play them in their naturual positions which for Sarg is fullback (for me)

He seems to have lost all confidence in defence since Chris Bridge ran over him at home against Warrington. Looks very nervous going into the tackle at the moment.
I'd let him go to Union now if he can't be bothered putting in effort the rest of the season. He's clearly already got one eye on what he's doing next year.

Can't see him suited to Union myself but he'll get more money and publicity, so I can see why he would consider it. We are seriously lacking at centre at the moment and it's something we should be addessing but don't seem to be. Even when Gelling is back we are hit and miss due to his style of play - one minute brilliant the next idiotic. It's anybodies guess when or if Thornley comes back and even then he's not what you would call a top centre.
Hopefully Thornley will be available soon to put his position under threat. I also think that performance showed how much Farrel's defence is missed on the left edge. Sarginson-Farrell= turnstile. Sarg has been good going forward but his defence has been woeful at times. Maybe he thinks you don't to tackle in rah rah.

We definately missed Faz and we also missed Clubb and Flower. That left a big hole in our forward line. Lloyd and Crosby are nowhere near their quality and it showed yesterday. Mossop isn't showing up for me and Lockers is just not match fit and looks way of the pace at the moment.

aboveusonlypie... If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.
