I agree with Vasty, Max's as good pace and a good passing game why not try him at s/o or even centre if we had more injurires, Plus how old is Max's he can only keep on improving just like Reece as done, Clubs too quickly offload they young players for a quick fix unlike Wigan who seem to play there players all over the place and credit to email






up the trim

A good example of fullback going to stand off is Darren Lockyer. World class in both positions. Max is plenty young enough to master the full back position and like others I reckon he also has the ability to make a good stand off.

Max always seems to be involved in try moves and I can see what Vastman means.
I would have thought it would be reasonably easy to give him a start there as long as there was cover in the team to re-shuffle if it it backfired!

The main factor about this topic is that Max had a great game on Sunday

Yes he did. We have great talent at the club and it's all coming together as we've been hoping it would for years!

Yes he did but oddly not in his usual way. His tackling and general play were pretty good, yet under the high ball which is normally his trump card he and lets be honest had a poor one - i think he was frustrated with himself, I put it down to being a bit ring rusty.

However what did stand out was his willingness to create and back himself, an absolute must in a top player. He totally created MCB last try, both with a great running line and break, a great pass to Batchelor and then a booming pass to the wing straight from the Tim Smith handbook. Despite what Poptart tries to make out that was way beyond standard fullback play. He also supplied at least one other try scoring pass from memory, ant S/O would be happy with that.

I've been watching this game for 40 years and I can spot a player with a RL brain a mile away and he has one - I personally think he's in the wrong position - doesn't mean he cant be a good FB just think his personal skill set is better suited elsewhere.

Not sure if he has a kicking game but i suspect he does.

Countless Aussie stand offs start at fb
The ones that really excel tend to move on to stand off in there mid 20s

I'm happy with max developing as a full back
If in many years times after milky has retired as a trin player I'd love to see max develope in to a stand off

He only dropped one ball, which most top FBs do every weekend. His distribution was excellent all game, setting up 3 of the tries. I find it hard to understand any criticism of his overall game on Sunday to be fair, but that's just my opinion but everyone is entitled to theirs

Just watched the whole game and.... (cough) (choke) ... vastman is right ( poo that hurt!) there were several times that Max misjudged the kicking game of Salford... that said... otherwise he had a super game... very creative... unpredictable in his running lines... tough on Chessie as he has some genuine competition for several places ... not least Keegan Hirst laying down a marker ... thought he and Huby were our best performers in the prop area on Sunday!

I am a big supporter of Max Jowitt. Whilst Grix has been great in many respects, he has a weakness under the high ball, something I think you will find Huddersfield supporters will have something to say on. Max looked strong under the high ball last year when he had regular game time. I have mixed feelings about his replacement this year by Grix but it is hard to be critical considering how much else Grix has offered us in attack and our current form
