Jowitt : Mon Jul 24, 2017 9:01 am  

Not bagging Grix here because he was great at the start of the season, however he has been average and looked tired for a number of weeks now. What I cannot understand is why Max hasn't been given a few games, especially after he played well in the win away at Salford in the league.

Anybody have any ideas? maybe he has spoken out of line or had a falling out with CC or JK?

The problem the coach has had was that apart from a couple of indifferent performances by Grix, he has been our most consistent player making it very difficult for Chester to drop/rest him in favour of Jowitt, it's been a long hard season for Grixy and chose how good you've been it's very difficult to maintain that standard over a season and while I don't have a problem playing him I can see the argument from fans wanting to give Max a go.
Last season he played well until the latter stages of the season and faded badly, maybe the same is happening with Grix, I'm sure Chester will know best but maybe it's time to give Jowitt a run out, the problem now being it's the most important part of the season and results matter more than most things.

You have to give Jowitt credit for biding his time and not crying out like the young Leeds fullback has done.

I hate agreeing with you but that's about right.

Grix was still one of our best on Sunday.
I rate Max a lot but Grix has the shirt and deserves to keep it in my opinion.
Watching him and Finn scheme at the scrum was great to see.
None of the issues against Sts were his.

Isn't it time to give Max a go and show a bit of faith? There's 7 massive games coming up...in the regular season those 7 fixtures brought two wins...Max played in one of them and we won it...Grix played in six of them and we only won one...

Should we drop Ashurst and give Crowther a go to show faith?
Annakin in for Arona too?
What about dropping Fifita so one of the young lads get a game?

It isn't under 10s where you need to make everyone happy. Best team plays. Always.
