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.

Trouble was the Grix fans were quick to point out any mistakes Jowitt made .Grix seemed to get away with many .But you know I am in Jowitt's corner Just want him to have a fair crack of the whip

I think Jowitt has done a good job but I think it seems better than it is because it was a nice surprise. I'd still be happier with Broughy there I think and probably Max to fullback as he's playing better than Walker.

I read elsewhere today that Broughy will have to fight his way back into the team - from CC!
So,it seems things are as they should be, that's what competition is all about after all.

Bearing in mind Brough has played 34 minutes this season before getting jnjured and trying to run it off so I think your comment is flawed.

And he also had a great game, remember watching the game back and noticing how many chances he created - some proper last ditch tackling by KR was all that kept us out on a few occasions.

In your opinion Grix was better than Jowitt at the time, which I suppose validates your self evidently stupid biased opinion that nobody can argue with that or your opinion, well there are plenty on here would argue that it does not make sense that Grix was first choice, so just to sum up then, it was alright to put Grix straight back in the side irrespective of Jowitts form but you would find it disappointing if Jowitt got dropped and not stepped aside for Brough, and you don't find that contradictory.

Maybe Redcaps suggestion that Chester has a grudge against Jowitt is off the mark, but to a lot of people on here it seems that he's just a stop gap used by Chester as and when, which as the coach is down to him which if your a Jowitt fan makes it also patently evidently stupid.

Was this when we played Salford, in the league and then the Cup.
Jowitt was mom in the league encounter and then left out for the cup game (may have been the other way round).
It was certainly harsh treatment for the lad and right now, he should be given as long as possible in his current role.

Certainly our attack is more potent than it has been with either Hampshire or Brough in the halves.

Mind you, Brough brings more with his kicking game and Hampshire with his speed / elusive skills but, we have to stick with what we have.
There is still improvement in the Miller /Jowitt partnership.
Miller seems a better player when he's allowed to play, something which, with Brough in the side, he doesn't always seem to do.

Ever since his injury last year Brough’s kicking game hasn’t fairedd better than Hampshire’s or Miller’s or Jowitt’s.

Jowit did play in the league game and Grix in the cup .Jowitt dropped one high ball but caught about 7 while running at full speed also made a break of 60 yds to set up the winning try . Grix failed to take 7 + high balls wich put us under pressure .Think we lost by well over 30 points , though we did have a weeker team out

Quote from Chessie in this weeks League Express..."Broughy has a job on trying to get Max Jowitt out of the shirt at the moment.....It's obviously a boost to get Broughy back, but competition for places means you've got to earn your place in this team...I've had to hold him back a bit. It's great that he wants to play and he'll be raring to go this weekend".

Mixed messages in that for me....yes, he's been impressed with Jowitt and he might stick with him, but Brough is also good to go ???
