Wane backs Sarginson after errors

Correspondent

Wigan coach Shaun Wane has confirmed that Dan Sarginson will still be part of the team for Thursday’s clash with Wakefield.

The England centre made some errors in defence in last week’s win over Warrington, but Wane is sure that he will learn from them.

“There were one-on-one misses, that was just poor ‘D’ from Dan Sarginson, and he knows that,” said Wane.

“They were just defensive errors that we don’t normally make, and he doesn’t normally make, so I’ll let that one ride.

“But I won’t let it ride again, and he knows that.

“But Dan’s been great for me, so I’ll let him kick on and get some confidence this Thursday.”

The Wigan coach also revealed that Sarginson’s bleached hair-do in the game against the Wolves was as a result of paying a forfeit.

“He was late for a massage, so that’s what we do,” Wane explained.

“They rolled the dice, and he got blond hair.”
