It's not an option re Jowitt or Shaul.
Shaul has proved in his last few games that he is very poor under a high ball. Whilst his organising makes up for some of Miller's deficiencies, Jowitt's solidity at the back, excellent passing game and timing his incursions into the line make him a far superior full back. Now, if you want to play Shaul at SO, that's probably a good option.

Why would you do that?

Keep the fullback at fullback and the stand off at stand off.

And people say Willie makes weird decisions.

Because we are in desperate need of an organising SO and Miller has had 7 years to prove that is a job he can't do. We need to try other options and this is a good week to do so.

Don't remember Shaul dropping any high balls ??

I think that option is to buy a new stand off, not stick someone in who's hardly played there and shows no organisation ability when he has.

But we haven’t signed Shaul and he’s never played there. We have tried Max a few times so that I get.

Got told the other day that Max was signed as a S/O as a 15 year old but don’t know if that’s true.

Bizarre to try Shaul in halves I know. Max also is an out and out full back and in an emergency can cover 6 but Max isn’t a 6. That experiment in reserves and first team yielded little results.

I think Max has been very good last few games at full back and he seems to be putting Murphy into some real space too creating the extra man.

The answer to me is simple. We have two halfbacks in Miller/Lino and we pick a full back from Shaul/Jowitt. For me I’d go with Jowitt but if he needs a rest just bang Shaul in.

Think Max could be a great 6 but we simply don’t have the time or resources to really find out.

We need a recognised SO for certain but if he got injured then we may have to give Max a prolonged run out, then we’d know for sure.

It’s a bold claim to state a player isn’t an x,y or z unless it’s hugely obvious ie Lino at prop.
