Salford bound . Sooner rather than later if Evalds goes to Cas earlier than planned.

Good luck to him if it comes off. He’s been a pretty good player for us and did a job when we needed him. A weird negativity seems to surround the guy from some fans because he dares to be on a good deal and won’t walk away from it. Who would do that?

Glad he’s moving on and not rotting in the reserves on a biggish contract.

Will always remember him as our full back when we became world club champions. Also played and won a GF.

Good luck to him

His game is similar to Evalds' so I think he'll go well under Watson.

I got told he is one of highest earners in the entire squad which personally I had difficulty in believing it but the guy who told me is connected to the club.

Lam took a pretty instantaneous dislike to him so he was highly unlikely to get any first team minutes.

I thought he was ok but another player at the club where very little improvement was made to his game which effectively was a player with a bit of space and not a lot of anything else

I'd like to think that I would.

Escare sitting out this season doesn't benefit anyone. Surely the best move would be to take a pay cut and back yourself to perform and earn another big contract? Sitting it out means his potential worth drops week on week, when instead he could be playing and showcasing himself.

Kinda like Tom Davies moving for game time at Catalan's.

Good luck to him after the way he has been treated by Wigan.

Has he been treated any differently to any other player who isn't good enough to play first team rugby?

spot on mr P

If Escare is to go to Salford you'd imagine Wigan RL will still be paying part of his salary if the rumours regarding the amount he's paid are anything like true.

Treated at Wigan, reported to be earning 100k a year yet refused to play on duel reg at Swinton with the other wigan lads when we had no reserves as it was below him.

I just don’t buy into Escare being one of our top earners. He was never a nailed on starter, yes he had a very promising first season and I could imagine he got a decent contract but nothing to put him in line with the top earners.
It would explain him being cast aside when his performances have been okay though.

treated accordingly with behaviour....

Was that your opinion when he was in the first team and playing well?

Amazing how a player suddenly becomes a bad player when he leaves or could be leaving!

He has only even played ok for me, he evidently brings as many problems as solutions and in my opinion which i said at the time he shouldn’t have been offered a new deal and i do wonder if the deal was already agreed(not announced)before we signed Zak.

Last season he was 3rd choice full back and 5th or 6th choice winger at best. And this year very simlar.

Its only the fact that we haven’t been able to off load him so far that he is still here. I have nowt against him at all but makes financial sense to get rid if/when possible. I hope he does well where ever he goes but not too well obviously.

I don't think he's a bad player and I've never said that. I don't think he's good enough for this current Wigan side though.
For me he's a squad player who's currently 3rd choice fullback, 4th/5th choice winger and 5th/6th choice halfback. Would you agree with that?

true, hes a luxury we cant afford

That’s a very fair assessment of him

Came in and did a lot better than I expected and due to injury took and earned his opportunity well.

It’s sometimes forgotten that we provided a lifeline for him as Catalans we’re trying to offload him due to his off field behaviour and the groups he was mixing with away from the club.

He played a pretty important role in our 2018 season and that should not be forgotten.

I don’t know what he is paid just see the rumours on here and I I’ve no idea what his attitude is like again just see comments on here.

What I would say that IF he is on as big a wage as is rumoured, fair play to him, that’s not his fault.

I’d also say at his age he needs to be playing regular first team rugby and there are only probably 2 or 3 clubs he can get that at in SL so a move to one makes sense for him.

Good luck to the lad I’ve no issue with him and I’m sure if he ends up at Salford he will be a decent fit for them due to his style and that of Evalds who he will be replacing.

Got an international fullback no good paying top dollar for a player who isn't Wigan class.

Bet you and a few more were not saying that when he was the regular full back.

Some supporters are like the weather, always changing!

Well all my posts are on here to view, so fill your boots.

As I said... I don't think he's a bad player, but we have 2/3/4 players better in every position he plays.

Correct. Did well at the time but we have signed Zak and French since who are both better fullbacks

Correct, but because Escare is now out of favour, there is no need for some supporters to be calling him names and making up wild tales about him.

For me on the pitch Escare did okay, pushing good. People have said things about his off pitch behaviours/attitude but I don’t think I have read any particular story or any facts, just whispers. I was at the fans day at Orrell the season before last and he stayed longer than any other player and watched the juniors and reserves afterwards.
