Would you pick Tomkins or Escare at full back for 2018? : Sun Oct 29, 2017 5:47 pm  

I would like to know what Wigan fans think of the choice.

Escare was performing very well until he got injured. Tomkins has not been too impressive since his return form injury.

Escare and Tomkins to 7 if we have not signed another half. TL is wasted in that position

Escare.

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.

1-Escare

Couldn't agree more.

It all depends on how both come through the pre season with fitness.
The warm up games will show us which way the club are going.

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
