He could do that if he was making 5 tackles a game, but at 50 plus tackles a game.......

Escare has filled in at half back before, he's never played hooker to my knowledge but he would do a decent job IMO
Powell was given a chance at HB he was as ineffective as he is at hooker, theres not much you can do when you slower than anyone on the pitch
He wouldnt be the best hooker in the world but if we are short he is a better option to try for me
I think your view of the requirements at Hooker are too simplistic if you think some decent passing skills and being quick off the mark will suffice.Wigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 3:11 pmOn the fact he has decent passing skills (think of pre tomkins return he was very good), and he is lightening quick off the mark, he could scoot against tiring defences and cause havoc in the same way that rob burrow used to do for leeds.nathan_rugby wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 1:16 pmBased on what?Wigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 11:52 am

What about his defence? Can he handle forwards running at him the whole game and thus making 40-50 tackles a game.josie andrews wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 4:09 pmI’ve actually mentioned this to Morgan before!Wigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 3:11 pmOn the fact he has decent passing skills (think of pre tomkins return he was very good), and he is lightening quick off the mark, he could scoot against tiring defences and cause havoc in the same way that rob burrow used to do for leeds.

No I am simply comparing him to Powell who is neither quick of the mark nor is his passing decent. The only thing Powell has escape on is defence and his stats are bloated by third man in effortsnathan_rugby wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 4:28 pmI think your view of the requirements at Hooker are too simplistic if you think some decent passing skills and being quick off the mark will suffice.Wigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 3:11 pmOn the fact he has decent passing skills (think of pre tomkins return he was very good), and he is lightening quick off the mark, he could scoot against tiring defences and cause havoc in the same way that rob burrow used to do for leeds.

Based on the Escare has to play somewhere,anywhere argument they’ll have him at prop nextnathan_rugby wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 1:16 pmBased on what?Wigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 11:52 amEscare has filled in at half back before, he's never played hooker to my knowledge but he would do a decent job IMO
