You saw him have 20 odd games last season supposedly, so why the need to ask if they were all good games, some might agree with you but I think that most would agree that at the back end of the season he faded away.
The reason he has not started the season as first choice might have something to do with him rumoured to be injured and the way Grix has started how on earth can the coach drop him. HTH

I quite agree. I said as such a few weeks back. This lad is one of our on with a great future. Yes, Grix has played well. Has he played better than Max last season, no. If we lose Jowitt as a result of playing a player coming to the end of his career, I won't be best pleased

Top six 2005 - Trinity.: |

| Why would we lose max? He was injured st start of season/pre season. He did have a lot of good games last year and you can see the quality in him but he most certainly did fade and struggle towards the back end of season.
Max will get his chance and he doesn't strike me as a young guy who will kick his dummy out and moan. He will I'm sure he working on his game even more and learning off Grix.
Grix has played brilliant and has some elements to his game Jowitt can learn from. I'm sure he's doing just that and I'm sure we will see him throughout the season.

Not saying they should drop him chisset. He's been persistently very good so far, but thought we should have kept the continuity of Jowitt. He's proved himself and we're supposed to be bringing him on. Thought that when we signed Grix he would have been cover for max this season, but when he got the no.1 shirt it was obvious he was going to be first choice. Would hate to see Jowitt wanting to take his bat home, but if we starve him of games I can see this happening.

Grix has been unreal this season, our player of the season so far. Been quality in all the games, not one dropped bomb, loads of good kicks and a try or 2.
I like Jowitt and think he can become a real star, but no way should Grix be dropped.

| Max will get his chance. He is a very good player that in the long run will be better than Grix (and I really like Grix) but to get there he'll have to study his game and learn from Grix as much as he can.
He's still young and should be managed well enough to keep him happy

| I am guessing that Grix utility value will come into play as the season progresses; if there are injuries anywhere in the backline, he can slot in, and Jowitt is a ready made replacement for him at FB.
It's a long season, and Jowitt will surely be managed in such a way that he won't get itchy feet after a few games on the sideline.

When did that happen?
Not saying you're wrong but I know Batchelor and Johnstone did but don't recall Max.

| Found it, missed that one.
So I agree why would we let him go and why on earth would we let him go for free - sounds like nonsense but who knows.

| Jowitt showed promise we were struggling at the back, he was good under the high ball which you have to be if your gonna be a fullback, his support play was also pretty good, but positionaly and his tackling left a lot to be desired ,compared to grix hes a lot to learn

One thing for certain, he will learn it - whatever his shortfalls are! The lad is class - still young and the best full back prospect we've had at BV for donkeys years.
