And Pitts would be one of my first picks. I might even make him captain.
Miller would still play for me though.

I meant Westerman

Toss up between Pitts and Tanginoa.
I’d have impact off the bench in the form of Navarette and Fifita but I’d start with impact in the form of Tanginoa.

Miller has flattered to deceive for too long, he’s not fulfilling the halfback duties, he’s not an organiser and he’s lost some dynamism from his running game. He doesn’t do anything that Jowitt can’t do just as well but he lacks Jowitts better variety of passes. Jowitt will only get better the longer confidence is shown in him and he’s left in that position whereas Miller has had the benefit of continuous selection and is what he is.

Who says Jowitt will get better in the halves He didn't at fullback

What?? Is that during the long run he had there to prove himself - or was that during the 1 game on/4 games off tactic that we have used with Jowitt for most of his time.

That's still a lot of games.
I hope he develops as a half back but right now he's cover as we can't get anyone else.
Miller just needs a partner.

No we just need a coach who can coach and get the best out of what we have which is considerably better than many previous incumbents enjoyed.
I have stated previously that we have no game plan which would appear to be confirmed by Chester never suggesting that the team had not followed his plan. He has complained that players have not played to the standard expected but to be honest he has not coached to the level we would expect. I guess we will see how we go against Hull but sadly we all know he is going nowhere whilst he has friends in high places who still believe in him.

It's not as many games as he has deserved to play - and to be honest the suggestion that he didn't improve at fullback is laughable anyway. He is the best of the bunch we have that can play there and is proving himself to be a decent option at half back IMO with very little game time in that position.

I don't disagree with you. He has improved. I just don't agree that he should have been guaranteed game time in the past.

Unfortunately this is simply delusional, in the 60 games Max has played for us he’s had a handful of games where he’s impressed with individual plays (not even the full 80), the rest have been pretty bog standard.

Rocky is better at FB and HB than Max, Walker is also a better fullback.

Poppy is right, Miller needs a partner. Someone to lead the pack round the park, leaving him and Rocky to play their off the cuff rugby.

I have yet to see evidence of this. Max has a better pass and is just as safe under the high ball.
