Funny is that cause he's only made 17 tackles this year, are you claiming that a quarter of them were made single handed?? Deluded...

If you want to bring stats into it, he has also missed 3 tackles - Yet you keep banging on about how many tackles he has missed? Cant have it both ways chunky.

Comment reported.

He's only made 17 tackles and he's missed 3!

Okay lets talk stats comparison with your beloved Grix:

Jowitt - Attempted tackles - 20 - 17 made - 3 missed - Percentage of missed tackles - 15%

Grix - Attempted tackles 62 - 42 made - 20 missed - Percentage of missed tackles - 32%

Or shall we stop talking about stats because you only want to use ones that suit your pathetic obsession with bagging our young players.

I am saying he should have been playing from the start of the season .Also batch ,rocky.And leaving johnson out is Deluded

Wow.

Exactly... so go away with your pathetic obsession of trying to shut me up.

It`s a forum for debating. Wish you would shut up to be honest, nobody on here likes you anyway.

That's it, I've had enough. I'm going to the bigger man.

I'm putting you on ignore like the rest of the bloody forum have.

Stats are stats,nothing more nothing less.

Ben Barba (from a Top Team) has missed 20% of his tackles,but who wouldn't want him in their line up.....

Trinity18 and Homme Vaste, belt up, and read your PMs.

So on the Finn discussion, I do feel we need another old head to get us to the end of the season so I'd happily get Matty Smith in to take us around the field. Better kicking game than Finn too but will just get the team ticking in my opinion.

But if not him, I wondered what ever happened to Jordan Lilley. He was quality when he played at Leeds and I thought he'd be the next big thing.
He's been out at Bradford for a while and recently loaned to Leigh but I haven't seen him on a team sheet for either.
Assuming he hasn't suddenly become a terrible player I'd look at him too.

Longer term we need at least one other half back to rotate with Miller and Hampshire. I'd like Tom Holmes but as he's turned us down we should still be looking.
Cas are already preparing players for taking over from Gale. We are about 3 years behind on plans for Finn.

Wasn't there talk of a HB in the Academy who was pulling up trees - I want to say Ackroyd?

Other clubs seem to able to bring these lads in and develop them into 1st team players - any number at Wigan, the young FB at Leeds, Richardson at Saints - even Shudds are doing it; young Matty English looks like the finished article already.

I realise that for the most part, they look better in a winning side, but we do seem to be struggling again to introduce young players and develop them - Johnstone is faltering, Jowitt is nowhere to be seen and Batch is farmed out to Dewsbury.

If Matty Smith is the answer, I don't understand the question.

Jordan Lilley seems to have set himself up as a personal trainer over at Stanningley, maybe he's had enough? Was impressed with him at Leeds at the end of 2015 but he's not been given a fair crack and as you say loaned out repeatedly.
