First time I've heard Chester say he is formally giving Max a run at half back. He said Gigot and Walker ate fighting for full back with Rocky and Max fighting for half back.
I think Vasty was the first I saw talking about him being a half and I just didn't see it. How wrong I was.
I’ve got a few wrong in the past.
I first spotted it yonks ago. max and TJ were in a low key game and Max was at FB and he gave TJ a try scoring pass. Most FB don’t pass very often certainly not in their own half. It wasn’t a centred pass either, it was a HBs pass, it had real vision. Since then he’s done a fair few visionary passes, many you don’t spot at the game.
Apart from being good under the bomb he never looked at home at FB to me. He just looked like a playmaker not a match winner.
He just thinks of other players not just himself, I think he takes pleasure from creating for others. A very different player to Hampshire but two players who could really compliment each other in the future.
Let Max create, free Hampshire up to do what he does and that’s torment. Let Ryan play off the cuff and let Max steer the ship, a lot like Finn really.
I’m not forgetting Miller, it will take time for Max to fully transform his game so all three will get there moments but for the future Max and Ryan could be a winning partnership if they want to be. Just my opinion but let’s hope me and CC are right.
