Where is it set in stone that a halfback must only attack one side of the pitch? I'm sure there are plays where he can come over to the other side, or swap with Escare at a key moment.

I agree regarding Bateman, it's just that Sarginson was that bad against Leeds that I don't think we can risk him against Cas, and we are very strong at second row with Isa/Farrell/O'Loughlin/J.Tomkins all in very good form. Again, opportunities for him to swap with Isa for certain plays/sets if there is a benefit to it.


The formation of the team is pretty much set in stone. This is how and why players form movements and set plays, how they operate. We, like probably all teams play split halves. One half controls the left, the other the right. This is how we play. It's sadly not 1985 anymore when the 6 and 7 play together with the 6 off the 7 to form attacks.

Swapping with Escare? Why not just play Escare as a 7 then? Please no more switcharoos.

Most idiotic post ever goes to Grimmy..... The way to restart should be an arm wrestle between a designated player from each side.

I'm sure we can have set moves where the 7 comes over to the left side or whatever though. It's not like he's a goalkeeper. Either practice these moves in training and decide what situations to use them in, or just give Sam some free reign to come over as he sees fit depending on his reading of the game. A couple of years ago I remember us scoring a few tries through a move where Sarginson (RC at the time) would come over to the left, so it's not like Wane doesn't employ that sort of tactic. In fact, he has constantly said "It gives us plenty of options" when asked about FB/Halfback combinations.

I'm not keen on Escare at 7 because it's such an important position that I wouldn't want to be throwing in a player who hasn't really ever played there and barely speaks the same language as his teammates. You want someone there who is going to be directing the attack and ordering the rest into position.

Can't agree with the team making such massive adjustments to the structures just to get the same result from Sam as we do when he plays FB. 6 controls the left, 7 controls the right, FB links in on both sides creating overlaps, you've basically described what Sam does from FB, and in the process makes far few tackles and can't be targeted in the line like he would as a HB.

Escare has played portions of games in the halves, and by all accounts looks legit.

I think the only people that have left him out at 7 have left him out of the team altogether, assuming he will be banned?


Ah, fair enough. I hadn’t noticed that.
I just put his absence together with the general negativity towards him.

Either way, it’ll be interesting to see how we line up

Nobody has mentioned it,but doesn't Bateman have as much to fear as Powell from any review? He was involved in the tackle too.

Split halves aren't essential, or, at least, don't have to be that rigid. I am watching Wests Tigers, and they have Luke Brooks and Benji Marshall with the freedom of the park. Brooks is clearly the 'senior' half, but both have a good running and kicking game. Between them, they have either assisted and scored themselves just about all West's tries.
