He was but where is the again from, he was dire last week!

He did exactly what I and I suspect CC wanted and had a great game.

Why do we see conspiracies where there are none.

No it’s never been true.

Up until last season Jowetts form was always patchy and like it or not Grix was better, the results tend to back it up.

I can’t believe anyone believes CC has grudges against certain players. He may prefer certain players but that’s not the same thing at all.

Unless you seriously think Chester is stupid then what possible benefit can it be to his career to ‘pick on players’ seriously!

I`ll stand by my comment, It has been true, Jowitt in breakthrough season was brilliant hence why he won Young player of the year, only to be dropped once Grix was available - As I say personally I didn't have an issue with it as at the time I thought Grix was still a better but that doesn`t take away from the fact he dropped Jowitt who was playing out of his skin.

Also, I don`t subscribe to the grudge thing, but Coaches quite obviously have an idea on who they favour in a position, which is natural, I think sometimes you see that taken too far with some players and coaches and it takes a lot for them to get dropped.

Yes but playing out of your skin and playing well are not the same thing.

There are a number of CC things I don’t agree with but Jowett isn’t one. For me Max came of age last year against Leeds at Leeds, up until then he was very hit and miss imho.

It’s rare I disagree with you PT but this post is ecactly correct
Especially where max is concerned

It’s time for max to be our starting number one

He is good enough

He is our starting FB, the number one on his back and the fact that he’s played most games there is the big clue.

He's one for you PT, who will miss out when Miller is fit?
I'll give you one guess!

Hampshire, obvious.

But he's been our starting number 1 for at least 2 seasons.
The only time he didn't play there was when we needed him at stand off.

When Grix was here he was the better option. Max had more to learn which he has done.
When Hampshire was at full back, we were all very divided. It wasn't a given for either of them.
Walker wasn't signed to replace Max. He was signed because Hampshire wasn't signing a contract. We needed more than 1.

Max has been outstanding in my opinion but even tonight he has made mistakes. He isn't perfect so it isn't just a case that he should keep his shirt no matter what but right now he is the better option and I hope for years to come.

Hampshire was OK tonight but I think Miler would have been better and should come back when fit.

Can i just ask do you actually watch max when he joins the attacking the amount of times the attack stops or drizzeles out when it goes to him he either fails draw a man and passes too early (this was brought up last year on a sky live game) or he keeps old of it too long and has to take the tackle.i have nothing against max and wantbhim to do well bit mostley i want to see wakefield win and just think theres better full backs about granted he went ok tonight took alot of high balls but for aforward to sit him on his backside without touching him was poor...its irrelivent what we think anyway its obvious if the Gaskell rumour is true that our coaching team want another fb

The attack stops dead regardless who has the ball. Hampshire, Lino, Miller, all running very lateral and removing any space the outside backs have to work with. To me that's a structure thing, we're set up to play what we see so other than the Ashurst crash ball no one seems to have a set role or plan in how to attack.

IF Gaskell comes and does a better job at FB than Max is doing, I will be the first to admit I was wrong about Max, but let's be a little more accurate here - I take it he passed too early last night, when he spotted TJ without a marker - the pass that lead to the try?
I agree about the missed tackle, he needs to sort that BUT you must be watching a different FB when it comes to attacking because I think the opposite about his passing.
Like you say if the coaching team think otherwise it's irrelevant what we think, but is Gaskell coming for the No 1 shirt?
