Yes I know what you mean, it’s interesting though that I’d go for sarge for 1 reason and 1 reason only, his pace.

There where times last season where players broke through our D and hells looked like he was walking he was that slow.

True but he does seem one of those players who loses match fitness easy and takes many games to get it back after a period out of the team. I am sure Sarge was quicker but you have to ask even if he caught the player would he be able to tackle him? Never struck me as having great cover defence like Rads in his prime for example.

In fairness I have never seen a better exponent of the cover tackle from distance than Rads. Immaculate and a joy to watch.
