Who says he’s a S/R?

As I say I don’t think he’s smart enough or skilled enough from what I’ve seen. The NRL doesn’t let players as big as him go unless there is an issue and that issue imho is lack of smarts and dare I say a bit soft.

When you look at Batch and the effort he puts in for a small lad you can see the issue.

I was going to include Crowther but he’s suddenly not so small.

If tanginoa is as you call it soft what the hell was pauli and hirst ,he could beat them both into a cocked hat on the park .Batch and Crowther are good lads and have a great future in the game but it’s battle hardened guys we need as well right now, seen as our main strike prop has spat his dummy out n taken his ball n bat home .And to that aim I think battye will go well If we sign him

His career in Australia and New Zealand said he was a second row or lock but never a prop until he came to us. I am sure Arona’s history will also not mention prop prior to joining us.

I could say that you're delusional thinking that Rocky is better at either fullback or halfback, but I won't. It's your opinion and you're entitled to it, but I disagree.

In my opinion, Jowitt is better under the high ball than Rocky. He had a really good relationship with Johnstone when given a run at fullback and put him in for plenty of tries when chiming in from the fullback position.
I won't say that I think he is better than Rocky currently at halfback but in the games he has played there I don't see him running the ball across the line and right to the outside edges of the pitch and leaving the three-quarters with nowhere to go, which I have seen from Hampshire many, many times.
How many games has Hampshire had at halfback, compared to Jowitt? Could Jowitt be as good as Rocky with the same amount of experience there? Again, just my opinion, but it's a yes from me.

I’ll tell you something really simple, something a couple of other fans also need to hear.

Jowitt is not the answer.

Far more positives than negatives from Grix.

Chester must go or he needs a decent assistant is all well & good but we’ve not really been the same side since Finn & Grix left. Not saying their time wasn’t up at Wakey but we’ve never replaced their rugby brains in the side.

Unfortunately there are one or two on here that will never forgive Grixy for the error against Saints, and are blinded by that when it comes to the qualities he brought back to the club, same goes to a lesser extent with the perceived unfashionable Finn as well.

I know mate I couldn’t speak for a week following the Saints game, but there appears to be no brain cells in the side!

I think we could all think of an error that has benefitted us and gone against us by players and referees. The Bradford cup game for example or our interception try by Kelly at Hull in the last minute. With regards Grix it was generally considered he contributed more to the team than hurt it. It is sad that a full back is much like a goal keeper all their errors usually results in a try or a goal.

I’ll qualify what I meant, he’s a bit soft for a lad who looks like a monster. I agree though, compared to Pauli he’s Ronnie rock.

It’s not that I think he’s a bad player I just think he’s a touch over rated. In fact he’s the exact opposite of Battye. Battye doesn’t look right but is, Tanginoa looks dead right but for me doesn’t quite deliver.

Given time Jowitt Has a good chance of making it. The opinions of touch line international coaches like you and me will remain as irrelevant as ever. It’s what the player does that matters.
