Hasn't Sarsfield gone to Widnes?

On Radio Merseysides Thursday RL hour a couple of weeks ago, there was a Widnes representative on and he mentioned the signing of a Wigan International academy player, I presumed it was Matty Sarsfield, but maybe I'm wrong.

Could well be. Widnes wanted to sign Liam Thompson and Sarsfield. Liam signed a while back. IIRC, Sarsy wasnt on the pics in the Observer?

Powell is one of six Warriors academy players, including Danny Bridge, Greg Burke, Ryan King, Matthew Russell and Jack Hughes, involved with the England Academy set-up
From the club web site and IIRC on Wigan Today 6 players minus Sarsfield are pictured so I think we can say he is no longer a Wigan player.

Thanks for the update, very interesting as i would have thought Burke would have started with Bridge maybe coming off the bench.

So looking at the forward pack it sounds like

8. Forster (Saints)
9. Milner (Cas)
10. Burgess (Bulls/Bunnies)
11. Bridge (Wigan)
12. Hughes (Wigan)
13. Laithwaite (Wire)

CP, i'm also guessing the centres will be Rhys Evans and Jordan Thompson unless they switch Matty Russell and put Thompson to fullback.
