Will that be the season that he won SL young player of the year?

I personally dont think he is the answer to the problem right now, but more game time can only improve him.

I highly doubt it because Jowitt has never won SL young player of the year.

You are probably getting mixed up with Albert Goldthorpe rookie which is picked by a few journalist from the league express.

CC seems to have lost that 'devil may care' attitude he had when he first came to the club and rotated the squad at Easter.
There have been numerous debates about the merits of playing local products and for me that still stands.
At the risk of repeating myself, at the moment there seems to be no reward for playing well when given the opportunity and no consequence for playing poorly, which in turn has lead to this disjointed situation we have.

Rocky played well at fullback on Sunday why do people want to change him for someone who's weak in defence like Jowitt he had enough games a couple of seasons ago & proved he wasn't up to the job giving him a run won't make him play any better. Why can a lot of fans see it & yet a lot of fans think he's the answer. FB is the last line of our defence so we need someone who can do the whole job & not half a job

When he first broke into the team defence was undoubtedly Max's weakest area. This year though I think he has made some good 1v1 tackles when he has played, certainly as good as Grix who is very hit and miss as the last line of defence.

As somebody else has said though if the FB is making tackles it means somebody else has already missed one which is more of a concern.

When were the 1on1 tackles i did'nt see them I saw the three errors in the first ten minutes at Cas I saw him play at hull when he was the third man because he turned his back on the player coming towards him he bounced off & then helped the other two tacklers & one just fell over him resulting in others catching up & tackling the attacking player. That Jowitt you mean. Fans forgive him for some reason (Probably his attack) but he's still got this with his defence. it's alright saying they've got through 12 players before him but you need someone solid at FB not a will he won't he make the tackle The top teams would'nt put up with it why should we.

Jowitt made at least 4 one on one tackels at Hull give the lad a break.He as done enough to keep his place .Funny how he played 3 top teams yet when the so called smaller teams came Grix came in .

Funny is that cause he's only made 17 tackles this year, are you claiming that a quarter of them were made single handed?? Deluded...

If you want to bring stats into it, he has also missed 3 tackles - Yet you keep banging on about how many tackles he has missed? Cant have it both ways chunky.

Okay lets talk stats comparison with your beloved Grix:

Jowitt - Attempted tackles - 20 - 17 made - 3 missed - Percentage of missed tackles - 15%

Grix - Attempted tackles 62 - 42 made - 20 missed - Percentage of missed tackles - 32%

Or shall we stop talking about stats because you only want to use ones that suit your pathetic obsession with bagging our young players.
