Yeah, sorry, wasn't clear. Not suggesting he's a similar player to them necessarily but we just haven't had a proper on-the-ball 7 who also has a more rounded game (can carry through heavy traffic and shift when in space) for a long time. Wallace is/was great over the ball a lot of the time, but never had the low centre of gravity or weight to break tackles with ball in hand and although he's tireless and gets around the park, he often doesn't come away with a lot to show for it.

Basically, I'm hoping Evans is the key to delivering consistent quick ball to our enviable back line, whilst not compromising our back row's collective carrying ability (I'm sorry, but Wallace does). Oh, and just making life hell for the oppo at ruck time. So that's why I'm excited.

If we have done a swap for Wallace that is a terrible bit of business for Tigers.

If Evans wanted to go regardless, then Wallace is probably one of the best available options to replace him. A proven club flanker is better than no flanker at all.

I wonder how he'll cope away from the wing?

He is a wing forward, after all...

That sounds familiar?
