Good as he is I think he'll go with Connor or AJB
As good as Connor's been in the halves for Leeds, he's equally been dreadful at full-back. We've witnessed it ourselves. In that first game, two mistakes led to tries, and when he was moved, he made another error that nearly caused them to lose in the second game. He's terrible under the high ball and lacks any pace whatsoever.
Personally don't see what AJB does better than what Jowitt does when you look at their overall games.
There seem to be those who back him, not just Wakey fans, from RL fans. Or if they do rate him, they say he lacks international experience. Or he's just a good SL player, which is a bit of a head scratcher to me because that must be the basis of selection to the team, that or the NRL.
Watched Brimson against Manly last weekend at FB, he had a terrific game. Phil Gould was waxing lyrical about him. That being said, he’s not english, he’s represented Queensland and only reason he wants to represent England is he’ll never get in the kangaroos squad.
Max should definitely be in the squad. Whether he gets in the 17 I doubt it.
His mum is English.That makes him more English than most overseas born players we've selected.
