Quote: catalanglais "Hello Warriors.Congratulations on Saturday's performance.You certainly deserved to win an excellent game.There are 3 points about Escare ,which you might like to consider; 1 In attack he scored 51 tries in his first 52 games and 13 tries in his last 39 games. 2 He is a very bad defender.He cannot tackle,is terrified under the high ball ,is a poor kicker and only a fair passer.There is also his extremely annoying habit of arriving at the scene of a conceded try a second late.3Because of the decline in his attacking form-his defence was always bad- he lost his place in the team before the start of this season.He still was contracted for 2017 and 2018 ,but-and I need to put this very carefully-has allegedly been involved in off field behaviour,which the club will not tolerate.Perhaps he will be a good signing for you,but watching the game right next to Tierney last Saturday I thought that he,while not big enough to break tackles as a winger would be an excellent full back.Finally I must admit that Catalans fans-as distinct from coaches and officials-disagree about Escare.The split is between those who think that the game is all about attacking "gloire" and those who know that if you cannot defend you will lose.So I wish him well,but am glad he is going .Navarette is quite another matter,but that's a different story related to huge salaries for Australians.'"
A very thoughtful and insightful post. From what I've seen he is very brave to even get on the pitch at his size (a bit like Rob Burrow)
I suppose Wigan are taking a punt on him. On the whole at Wigan though, if you can't defend you don't get to play.
I'd be glad to be proved wrong, because he's exciting with the ball, but I really can't see a place for him unless there are even more injuries than this year.
