Frustrating and annoying at times when your own fans put the youngsters down but all forgotten and worth it when he wears the red white and blue

It appeared that a couple of seasons ago CC seemed to have a grudge against Max. May be there was a reason, but despite putting in "man of the match" displays Chester would drop him for the following game. He's never been allowed a continuous run in the side.

That's just not true.
He has had runs in the first team
And he has been given a long contract to show that his coach and chairman back him.

There is far more to it than just being young and local.

Of course being young and local are not the criteria for continuing first team inclusion, but surely you must agree PT that when Jowitt first appeared in the full back role he was readily dropped in favour of Grix despite man of the match performances.

But equally Grix got MoM awards week after week when he played.
It's a choice of styles not vendetta against one person.

That's one of the stupidest things I've read on here in a good while.

As of now, Max Jowitt has stepped in and made a real impact in the halves - one of the most demanding positions on the field - up there with FB as it happens, so he's no stranger to that kind of pressure. For me, the most effective looking partnership we've had thus far has been Miller and Jowitt, so I'd be disappointed if Broughy walked back into that role and Jowitt didn't feature. If we're looking to the future, maybe Broughy's injury has completed the jigsaw in terms of HB - with young Connor Bailey waiting in the wings, getting rave reviews as a potential understudy?

Just been reading CC comments in league Express, seems Brough and Fifita are both available for Friday. I think both should be playing in this game, just to get a game before the cut and thrust of Super league. Nothing wrong with rotation to keep some players fresh and on their toes.

tough call personally would give brough a game elsewhere don’t think jowitt has done anything to justify dropping him , big Dave couple ten minute spells

This is what redders has tried to point out, that no matter how good a game he has he is unable to pin down a regular spot, don't you think your post is a bit contradictory by calling his post rubbish and then in the next breath complementing him on his new found partnership with Miller as well as admitting your disappointment if Brough gets in before him having by your own admission has played really well, go back to the time when he played really well only for Grix to take his place when fit, this is what Redcat is trying to say, so maybe his opinion is not as stupid as first thought.

Think its an accumulation of things as far as Max goes, there was the Grix thing when Max was playing well and he was dropped for Grix. Then Hampshire came (No doubting he played extremely well at FB!) but Max found himself 2nd fiddle again, then Walker was signed, obviously destined for the FB role, Max misses out again!
Now he's been asked to fill in at HB and has done so admirably but I fear he will be dropped for Brough.
For me, if the club see him as a utility player then fine, worth his wait in gold - as long as Max continues his allegiance to the club once his contract ends!

Grix was better than Jowitt at the time - I don't really see how anyone can argue with that; so it makes perfect sense that Grix was first choice.

This time around, it should be a trickier decision, because Broughy wasn't exactly on fire pre-injury, and Jowitt is doing very well; so yes, I'll be disappointed if he steps aside, and I see no contradiction between that and my original point.

What's stupid is to suggest that CC has a grudge against Max Jowitt; it's patently and self-evidently stupid.

I have a lot more faith in Max under the high ball or one on one tackling than I ever did in Grix. Grix was always bound to cock up every match.
