Agree with what's been said about him and his ability.
If Bowen doesn't play at Widnes due to the ipitch Sargy will go full back with Thornley or Bateman left centre.
He was excellent playing fb at Hull FC. They couldn't handle his pace when he hit the line.

A very talented player who can fill in playing most positions in the backs. With all that experience coming his way he will be brilliant by the age of 25.
He's also improved at left centre too since that early season defensive debacle at Cas when he Burgess and Farrell could defend our left side for toffee.
For 21 I really rate him.

He has plenty to iron out of his game unfortunately, in both attack and defence IMO. Having said that for a 21 year old he's actually a cracking prospect. No harm at all in persevering with him as a squad player IMO

I don't think he will ever make it as a centre. I think it is interesting to compare him to Burgess in terms of how they look as RL players (obviously not positionally). Burgess who is even younger looks an absolute natural. Sarginson in comparison looks like a very physically fit bloke who gives his all (which will go down well with Wane) but doesn't really know what he is doing.

I also don't think you can persist with him in the playoffs. It's not the place to have an apprentice and if we have to it isn't his fault but I don't think it will work.

He looks far more comfortable at fullback where he is more often on the end of plays rather than someone who has to put someone else on the end of a play.

Fantastic player who attracted NRL interest. Can play any position from 1-7 and he's been particularly impressive whenever he's played fullback for us.

Really?

I could play in any position from 1-7, doesn't mean I wouldn't be any good. The more I see of Sarginson the more he reminds me of Cameron Phelps, another who could supposedly play anywhere but wasn't particularly good anywhere either.

Needs a ball of his own. I he isn't going to pass then put him on the wing and move Manfredi to inside centre.
Plan... Put home in a room and get him to pass the ball against each wall for a hour or two. Sorted.
