That’s the problem. If he wasn’t so bloody good it would be a no brained to get rid. I suppose Wigan have got to make the decision between the probability of him doing something again (which is high) and his value as a top player.
The key seems to be getting him away from his ‘mates’. His agent has publicly said he needs to say to Wigan he will go tee total as all his indiscretions seem to start with ‘I had a drink’.
and that last bit is about as likely to happen as Lord Lucan and Elvis playing for Wigan next season. He might at a pinch say it but doing it....well ....just like he has apologised and said he will be a good boy after every incident and then....
If he can't behave enough to even get through a month training for a club that have given him a lifeline despite his long history and recent events then the time to get rid is now whilst there is time to make good - I do not care a jot how good a player he is (or can be) let him be someone else's problem.
