Some people will argue about anything.

A match made in heaven, or hell.....

A coach shouldn't always field his strongest team.

How would he assess the younger fringe players, who may have to come into the side if there are are injuries to his "strongest" side.

It's horses for courses IMO.

Onto Wigan strongest side IF everyone was available.

Rogues, what's the advantage in playing Sarginson off the bench? I know he can play anywhere 1-6 but surely in the modern game these are positions you don't plan to substitute. Meanwhile McIlorum presumably has to plough on for the full 80 at hooker

Sometimes we don't use our 17th man at all or only for 10-15 mins so I can understand why Rogues would suggest putting a guy that could cover every back position on the bench tbh. If Micky Mac needed a rest then I'm sure Sarginson would even make a fist of playing there tbh (although Micky Mac plays his best rugby when he's asked to do 80 mins IMO).

He's turning in to a very useful player Sarginson.

I'd have Powell and Crosby in over Sarginson and Eddy. Sarg may eventually force his way in but I'm not sure in what position. He's got excellent attacking attributes such as speed and footwork but I don't think he's a natural centre. I think FB is his best position but ultimately I think Rocky will be a better option there.
