Re: Squad v Saints : Sat Mar 11, 2023 5:59 am
Bongser, in response to your post regarding Joe Mellor. Yes he did play and yes, he had a stormer.He did not pale in comparison with two of the most highly rated half backs in SL. More to the point he did not look like a man playing his first game of the season after injury. Joe was magnificent.
LancashireRed, yes, Sarginson would do for me if Leigh are interested.
We are short of a SL quality centre and Sarginson fits the bill. I hope that Leigh make a move for him. He would certainly then give us options, particularly in relation to where Hardaker plays.
At the moment, for me, Hardaker has to play centre because we do not have anyone else in the squad good enough at this level. If Sarginson was signed then he would go straight in the centres and Hardaker could be picked at full back which is, I think, his best position. It would then give us a real cutting edge from this key position and in defence he is a big tall unit and good under the high ball.
Irrespective of all this, I have always rated Sarginson and thought him to be a good player. Its not that long ago he was playing international rugby! Provided his character fits the bill then we should make a move and reunite him with Lam. It would also prevent Wakey from signing him.
I know that it is only 4 games into the season but does anyone here know how Wakey are going on this season. I have not been following their results. I do however seem to remember their chairman saying something like they should have finished top 4 last season if close results had gone their way and their then coach had been any good. Its a bit like the owners of the Titanic saying that it would have been a brilliant voyage had it not been for that damned bit of ice. Oh well, onwards and upwards - and for some, downwards.
