Higginson?

Is he ready yet? Why didn't he get a run in the friendly v Leigh if so?

[list=][/list]Suprised to hear that, he's not a world beater but always struck me as a good professional who works really hard. Can't remember hearing of any 'antics' but of course sometimes we don't


I've never heard about any antics either. For me, it's the fact that we seem to hear a lot more about his plans to move on than we do any plans he may have to improve his performances to an acceptable level.

Dave O was right about Sarge some time ago. While there's no doubting his physical prowess, the guy's a complete headless chicken. He hasn't got a rugby brain at all. The number of overlap opportunities he's missed. Unless he shows some sea-change in form for the whole rest of this season - and to be honest, I don't think you can coach what Sarginson lacks - I won't be remotely sorry to see him leave.

To be fair though, it's not been him talking about plans to move, it's other people, and they were wrong because they all kept linking him to Bath. Agreed with regards to his rugby brain, it's a shame because his speed, agility and workrate are good. However, unbelievably he's still only 22, so plenty time to develop that over the next decade or so of his career.

I think he'll need to improve a lot more quickly than that if he wants to attract anything in the NRL other than scorn.

If Sargenson is off which looks quite likely we need to either promote Gildart to first choice or sign a top class centre. Gildart looks ready to be given the opportunity. I don't see the point of signing an average centre to replace him. If we promote Gildart we need to look for a utility back to cover wing, centre and full back in case of injury. I feel a top class centre would give the squad a big boost though.

The guy isn't liked by many employees of the club for a variety reasons.
Last Thursday after the defeat the players did "a Hull" and closed the dressing room door to everyone. After a short while the only player to exit and to walk off into the distance without an apparent care in the world was Sarginson.
Apparently the mood within the squad has been low for a few weeks now. Couldn't find out why this was other than than its very unusual for the squad as they are normally quite upbeat.
Gildart is already much better than Sarginson so for me his place was/is in jeopardy once ST gets back anyway.

Yes, Gildart has done nothing wrong, in fact he's performed pretty well. Surely the "utility back cover" is Tierney?

"Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.

Charnley is definitely going to Sale next season, done deal. We need to sign a top quality replacement!

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Fri Mar 25, 2016 8:11 am  
It will be a shame for Sarginson to go, he's only 22 so still time to improve but is he getting the right coaching at the minute? He seems to have faltered since Harris and Deacon left, he could potentially be one of the best centres in RL on his day but I think he needs proper coaching which he will get in the NRL, and I do think he will kick in and make a success of the NRL move.

On another note I can see Burgess replacing Charnley at the end of the season.
