Which is a huge part of what makes a good FB; if he had that ability, he'd be starting at Wigan. I like his running style and attacking threat - but you can't have your regular FB spilling his lollies on even a semi-regular basis.

Sam Tompkins has made a decent living out of being an attacking FB.
He can't tackle or catch a high ball.

Hampshire is a 7, would love to see us be in a position this season to play Jowitt at full back with Hampshire and Escare in the halfs.

Don’t think we have the time to be mixing it up with the backs ,Sunday’s game was the first in ages everyone clicked so to my mind leave well alone .The time for different positions is in the friendly’s next season or when we truly are safe imo

Agreed, would go with the exact same 17 as the KR match, barring maybe bringing Atkins in on the bench if he is 100% ready to go.

I m agreeing with the agreeing , just watched it back on trin tv - we did make a few unforced errors , cut them out, play like we did and we ll give Wigan a run . Assuming all fit not quite sure who you could drop for Atkins -

Thought there was a bit of a fb pointer for Hampshire - escare in attack was like an extra half - suspect that also helped miller create some space

Tangata will get better from being a full time player and would be a good addition, as would Green - both would be better replacements for Hirst & England

With King, big Dave, Arona & Ashurst to add to yesterday's picks we'd have strong pack-depth for next year

Escare signing would be icing on the cake, with Hampshire re-signing the cherry

Agree re the forwards, but how many full backs do we need ??.....Rocky, Max, Walker and Escare sounds a few too many for me !!

Escare made 2 nice breaks and bombed both, rocky had a walk in for first then the 2nd rocky outside and Kyle wood inside didn't pass again, hed of got slaughtered on here if that would of cost the game, bjb also broke with rocky outside and didn't pass so we possibly could of scotrf 18 more

I wasn't counting on us signing Walker if we got Escare & for some reason CC doesn't seem to like Max...plus I'd like to see Rocky at scrum half, which would've left just the 1 fb...but again CC doesn't seem to want Rocky at 7 either
