Rightly taken criticism but his Magic effort was his best of the season; TOP drawer!

Agree, I have said that elsewhere. Unfortunately, he dropped a sitter so I can only give him 9 out of 10.

He seems to raise his game on the big stage. Had things to sort out and sorted them out. Admirable effort.

Absolutely agree.

His defence has been nothing short of disgusting on 3 seperate occassions this season (wire, hull kr, cats), but fair play the lad doesn't hide and he put in a great effort at Leeds.

Good performance, but for me Sarge isn't the "complete" centre yet.

Maybe I have been spoiled watching Bell, Miles et al, but for me classic centre play is about drawing your man in and putting your winger in for the try.

Plus rock solid defence.

How many 'complete' centres are there at 22?

Good point, TBW - Keith Senior would be a great example. In his early years at Sheffield and at Leeds, he regularly ran out of the line in defence and left a gap a mile wide. (He was 23 when he signed for Leeds according to Wikipedia.) Sarge only turned 22 last week - Happy Birthday, Dan!

It's not a 'different' question it's just 'a' question to your statement, so do you have an answer?
