Well Max is being kept out by Grix and Crowther by Ashurst Kirmond and Hadley.
No overseas player in his way. Maybe Arona at 13 for Crowther but he plays to his worth every time.

The issue is that we have no A team competition, thus young players are either paid to go out on loan until they mature, released to play Champ 1 or Championship where their development ends and they never reach full potential or worst of all the stop playing.

I do think we need to have a reserve grade squad which can pull players from the academy if needed. It'd give the young lads a chance to show they can cut it at a higher standard

To be honest I think Chester should be looking to rotate Max into the side for Grix. Grix has been outstanding for us, but he has taken some hammer, I'd rather see him given a break while he's playing well than waiting for him to tire and being dropped after a bad game.

I can understand Players like Gibson going to Oxford to get some sort of game time but the others I'd say they get more competition in training sessions. I'm no coach but they'd have more chance of picking up extra injuries playing in that grade.

I think he will be rotated in during the Easter period. After this week, i think we have 4 games in 16 days so I'm guessing he'll be sent to Oxford to get him match fit for that period. It might be that they each do 2 games and alternate so they have a reasonable rest between each game. Then it's in his hands to play well enough that Grix can't get back in

Max is a smart player with pace and good hands

Fancy he might have a decent future at stand off .. he might relish the extra responsibility

I think that has more legs than making him a centre, it's possible but with no A team to try it out we may never know - scrapping A team is possibly the most short sited move ever in SL and that's saying something!

6 for him could work.

However Grix wont be playing forever, would rather him work closely with Scott and develop further.

What would be good for 6 or 7, or both, would be for us to unearth gems from the junior set up

Re: Max Jowitt : Sun Apr 02, 2017 10:50 am  

As far as I'm aware he's played full back since he was very young and has shown he's good enough to play there in SL. At the minute he's been kept out of the team by Scott Grix because he's playing well. Big deal, Max is either 19 or 20 and Grix isn't getting any younger. His time will come. Why the obsession with playing people out of position?
