It tends to be a forwards based game in the wet weather and even more so in a Grand Final but on nights like those where ball movement is difficult, it can take an individual moment of magic to crack a game open and Escare is capable of that. I wouldn’t be looking to get more then 20/25 mins out of him but that could be enough.

At the moment the met office (usually the most accurate) is showing rain in the morning then starting again around 7pm. Difficult choice between Hamlin and Escare for me. I enjoy watching Escare. He adds flair and pace that we’re lacking. Hamlin’s drive and enthusiasm adds a lot too.

Every forecast I have seen,including the Met office is predicting almost continuous rain through the day.

Pretty much constant rain,hopefully the couple of hours with 40% chance end up staying dry.

I’id have Hamlin in the 17 going to be a game for the forwards if as expected it hammers it down

Weather will have a bearing on the RUGBY match as to who goes on the bench wet weather tends to be a forwards game.

So would I we have any injuries in the backs we could move Bateman who could play centre we have utility player in Sargison but would we miss Escare's speed against a tiring side glad I don't have to make that decision.

For me it’s a big game changer and I think it favours Warringtons bigger pack, I also think the long kicking game comes into play a lot more and that isn’t one of our strengths,although it was pretty good last week.
