Tierney is a completely different situation, he's very much still a back-up player who is 2nd or 3rd choice and will get first team opportunities because of injuries to Tomkins and possibly Sarginson.
Well, SW says Sarge will be fit for the start of the season, though he looks like missing the friendlies, so he is in fact saying that Tierney is 2nd choice behind Sam. He also had the option of recalling Rocky, who despite the fact that he prefers the half-back position is a pretty decent fullback. SW is the one who sees the players day in, day out, and as others have mentioned, his previous "gambles" with youngsters have pretty much all paid off.
