Preseason form fitness and ability to recover from his injury in Escare’s case will dictate wh plays.
Hopefully with a full preseason Sam will also improve his consistency.
I do get the feeling that Sam may well end up in the halves if Escare regains fill fitness and form.
Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.
Tomkins was on the decline in his last year at Wigan before going to the NRL. He had lost half a yard of pace then. Watch the 2013 GF, he was a shadow of the attacking player who played in the 2010 GF. I actually think Escare may make a decent 7. Hes crafty and willing to try something different. Leave Tomikns at FB. He will develop his game to compensate for the loss of speed and hes actually become a very good cover tackler
