I know nothing of him but you have to admit he sounds like our kind of player!
Not sure whether we are actively seeking a HB but I must say most the best Aussies we’ve had have been utter nobodies. ? Benson found playing for fun for was it Sharlstone? JD had no NRL and no SL as far as I recall, ditto Obst and loads of others.
If we do need a saviour I have to be honest that’s where I’d be looking. Truth is there aren't many HBs about these days not even in the NRL, so this idea that we can go out and sign some quality Aussie is a bit of a myth.
Personally I’d go with Jowitt, at least for another six games, what have we got to lose. Nows the time to find the true worth of young players. Jowitt, Croft, Crowther, Batchelor and the rest I’d ply them as heavily as I dare, ready for next year when hard choices will need to be made.
I’m not usually a believer in playing the youngsters, it such a ludicrous knee jerk reaction. However if there ever was a time this is it, especially in Jowitts case. For heavens sake either give the lad a go or let him go, as I too am beginning to think his treatment unfair. If we don’t want him let him go to someone who does.
