Your selection of full backs ahead of Escare takes no account of the Opta stats on actual performances.

BTW there is no Hardacre in Super League. There is however a man named Hardaker.

I have already given the data on that in an earlier post.

His average number of tackles per game is 6 and his average number of missed tackles is 2.

So crap then

So he misses on average 1 third of the tackles he makes or is the 6 tackles made actually successful tackles? If so he would miss a quarter of his tackle attempts. Still poor for your team's last line of defense.

In attack Shaul and Escare are very similar. However Shaul is a decent tackler and great under a high ball, Escare isn't.

Full back is more than attack and one on one defending, its about organising the line and seeing threats, escare and shaul have a lot to learn in that dept add eden into that bracket too.

I noticed that Escare did just fine under the high ball against Bradford.

They are rankings for individual stats and doesn't rank players from best to worst. The rankings system is not published online AFAIK.

You're really dining out on that Bradford game. We've had clips of tries, this thread, and the fact he didn't drop a bomb.

Whoopdy dooo.

Bradford are terrible and little can be deduced about his ability from that.

Is escare one of the top 2 fullbacks in the league?

No, he isn't.

Hardaker lomax and grix are better IMO.

Great player but about 6th best in SL. I think he will move into the halfs in the next couple of years.

That I do agree with.

But it looks like he has seen Webb off, which makes him a good player in my eyes.

Whether he is better or not that anyone else, I am not really bothered ! as long as he keeps doing what he does for us I am happy.
