I fully believe Sarg will nail a starting shirt in the NRL.

Certain elements of his gave really suit that comp. His fitness and willingness to put in the hard yards will see him I am sure a regular starter.

Turner is the personification of average. There is not 1 facet of his game that indicates he has a shot at being a regular NRL player. He has no pace, doesn't make big yards, just a jack of all trades master of non. Not suited to the NRL at all.

Sargison making in hard yards in the NRL? Really? Seriously?

Sarginsons work rate is incredible. He will go just fine in the NRL for me. He had been an excellent signing for Wigan and I can't understand some of the bad press he's had during his time at Wigan. I hear some people knock his passing game yet he's our top assist maker so far this season.

I think he's way to small and not strong enough to make it in the NRL and we all know what his defence is like.

If you put Sargison heart and attitude into Jordan Turner then that would be decent player.

If Sarginson was born in Wigan and came through the academy he wouldnt have any bad press from fans.

If he hadn't visibly been trying to find a way out of the club, he'd probably have had less ... that never sits well with Wiganers, someone using their club as a springboard to what they see as greater things.

But all that aside, he's rarely displayed great RL ability, as you surely can recognise.

Puts himself about, lots of energy ... not a great deal else.

Wow, it's like... The Wizard of Oz!


And wot Cruncher said. Gelling has much more of a rugby league brain (no, really!) than he has.

The NRL generally these days relies on a top pair of halves, good hooker and good 1. The rest tend to be hard working line runners.

Centres tend to be converted wingers of back row forwards.

Work ethic energy and fitness will see Sarg right over there.

I would put a couple if quid on the fact the Sarg will not make it crew are the same saying Tomkins can't tackle or take a high ball, ie those that don't actually watch the NRL.

I am in the 'Turner and Sarginson will both do bugger all' camp

Turner is just woeful however i think that is Cunningham's fault mostly for taking him out of position constantly. Sarginson is a woeful tackler and attacker. I was delighted when the news came in that he was leaving. FWIW i think his best position is FB but that is a closed shop around these parts. As previously stated, his passing is diabolical, his tackling is weak and when he does break a tackle in attack he stops to go sideways and run laterally. Sideways Sarge won't be missed from this household.

Leuluai with two cracking tries in the NRL this week.

Well Wigan will soon put a stop to that nonsense - scoring tries whatever next.

Seriously he can't do much worse than whats here already.
