You need your best players on the field. Escaré is one of our best players. He needs to start.
Possibly very controversial but I’ve never seen a more overrated half than Williams.
He is a strong defender but his passing lacks accuracy. His decision making is bizarre at times and his main attacking weapon is very hit and miss.....more miss.
He is very robust and strong and possibly a victim of our coaches philosophy but I really don’t get the hype.
I've been a fan of Williams in the past, but like many others, my patience is running out. I have no questions about his ability to defend but that's not really what you're looking for in a half-back who's a marquee player. IMO he's not really progressed as an attacking force in the last two seasons. On the other hand, I wonder about the way he's being told to play - it's good to see a half-back taking on the line, but what's the point when there's never another player in support? His decision-making and pass selection can be very poor but I think the lack of second phase options sometimes make him look worse than he is.
As for the switcheroo, I'd give it another few games before drawing any conclusions about the Powell and Tommy as starting halves.
