A great attacker but as yet to make a one on one tackle he is after all a fullback he's never there when a tackle has to be made he comes in as third man not a criticism but just an observation Craig hall is exactly the same at HKR. They manage to hide it vey well.

Was it you that also suggested that Pauli Pauli was easy to tackle as well

Having seen Craig Hall play quite a lot of games for us, and also Hull KR, I think Jowitt is a much better player, and appears to have a bigger heart too

I think the role of the FB has changed in recent years and no longer should he be regarded as a kind of 'sweeper' at
the back ready to tackle anything that gets through.

Rocky was playing very well at FB, until he was needed in the halves, but Max resumed at FB and IMO has been a class act there. Reminds me of Gary Cooper from the 60's who was labelled as a poor tackler but what an attacking FB!

Attack is the best form of defence!
