Maybe I'm being optimistic, but I only believe there are a few changes needed to improve.
Areas which need improving:
Sam's lost his pace. It's not coming back. When pace is gone, it's gone
Tommy is a terrible 7. Can't think of a worse 7 in SL. No game management, no kicking, no breaks the list goes on.
Pack, namely forwards need more grunt, more meters per game.
Lack of a kicker.
To improve:
Move Sam to 7. Looks deadly in the line. Can pass, and kick and has a great rugby brain.
Move Escare to FB, pace to burn, looked a threat attacking out-wide.
Escare to kick.
Retire Tommy, free up his cap space.
Move on FPN
Use the available cap to bring in a forward.
Other options:
Bring in Michael Gordon. At a loose end as Roosters are bring in Tedesco. Older, but still outstanding and is a great kicker.
Move on Joel Tomkins. Arguably Ben Flower. New blood needed in the pack.
I'd like like to see another centre. Competition for places is a must.
I agree with your changes however, I think that is all we can probably do in the short term. Longer term I think we need at least 5 or 6 new forwards. Our pack is the softest pack in the competition and non of our present front row can do more than 20 minutes at a time which is criminal. The recruitment of forwards since 2014 has been truly abysmal and whoever drove signings such as Powell, Pettybourne, Laukaki, should not be involved in any future recruitment because they plainly wouldn't know a decent forward if they kicked them in the nuts
