| Quote: bren2k ""Dropping instantly" as a criticism of a modern back, demonstrates a total lack of understanding of the game; in an era when a quick ptb is almost impossible to achieve, it's a common tactic to drop quickly in an attempt to either a) play it quickly or b) obtain a penalty if you're being prevented from doing so.
This scapegoating of Max Jowitt is genuinely pathetic - I would love to see some of the knee-jerk panic-mongers stand under a high ball with 40 stone of prop forwards bearing down on them, or put their body in front of Liam Watts charging at full steam; their attempts would make Richie Mathers escapology look positively Herculean.
Can someone clarify - is WakeyTrin1873 the latest iteration of that pillock I had blocked? I ask only so I can do the same to the new version. Ta'"

No, no and no.
All great players but, none of them was the finished article at 21.
Most players are still developing physically at that age and whilst they may be good or, very good at 21, cetainly not the finished article.
Even the very best players will look for continuous improvement throughout their careers and you could argue that nobody is ever "the finished article", let alone at 21.

Isn't that a bit pointless then?
Why call for him being played when you don't know how good he is and the coaching staff don't think he's ready yet.
Just seems like you are saying it to wind people up??? !!!!

Eh? What? I think you’re missing the point.
I do not think Jowitt is nor ever will be SL quality, removing Jowitt from the equation only brings Hooley into contention but how am I meant to know if he will be any better for us. I can only go on the comments about him since going out on loan.

Don’t see how that’s relevant? Nor would I be let off if I were to reveal any of your previous entities.

Miller's running and footwork, what they call 'broken ankles' on the trendy clips of Kalyn Ponga et al in the NRL, of course leaves him prone to slipping. Much as MAx's position on the pitch does.
BOJO is just having another unnecessary pop at one of our players based on his limited TV viewing

I agree. And from what I've seen and heard he'll be better than Max in the long run, but just throwing him in when he is too young/not ready is counter productive.
Max is not terrible. He's had good games and bad games. One more game won't hurt us but it might hurt Hooley. With the fan feedback he'll no doubt get for 1 mistake I'd let him have an off season and then see where our 3 fullbacks line up.

| I’m afraid you’ll never get to know this week as Luke is banned so Max plays, he would for me anyway.

| Got to say I watched him with a bit of added attention Sunday with him being one of our former juniors. Yes was only one game but I didn't see anything that made me sit up and say he needs a SL shot. Can never go on one game at all just think he has a bit of developing to do before being ready. Although a full season in the championship will have done wonders for him going into pre season next year id have thought

That`s fair enough but I am sure if you watched Jowitt or even Grix for that matter you would probably be saying the same.
I spoke to a player in our squad the other week who was talking about how good Grix was at organising our defence from the back, having a keen eye on numbers/overlap opportunities etc but we don`t see that from the stands though.
People so very often forget that there is more than meets the eye to a players game yet still question what they bring to the team.
