Jowitt : Fri Mar 06, 2020 10:24 pm  

Been solid as a rock in the halves. There have been plenty of fullbacks who have transitioned from full back to stand-off. Is Jowitts long term future for us at stand off?

Miller and Jowitt look good together in the halves at the moment.

Think Jowitt as done a good job in the 6 7 roll ,in fact think he as done well in every match he as played .Miller as looked a lot better with out Brough . Trouble is Chester said Brough is back next week , any body think he might play Brough at 9 .

Yes because he's obviously not going to be our regular FB and he's too good to leave out of the team!
seriously, he looks very much at home in HB role and I see him there long term.

Think if I was him and I had to make way for Brough, i'd be seriously p****d off

Send Brough out on loan for a bit, to get some match fitness

Agree about Jowitt and the longer he gets to play in the halves, the better he will get.
He deserves massive credit for his patience and just how well he has filled a huge hole in the side.

Right now, Jowitt & Miller are performing better as a pair than Miller / Brough, Hampshire/ Brough or Hampshire/ Miller.
He has a better boot on him than Miller.
If he gets a longer run and playing behind a decent pack, things will only go one way and he will have more confidence to try some of the more subtle stuff.

Jowitt has done nothing that would deserve losing his place. If Brough walks back into the team as soon as he’s fit then Chester will deserve all the flack he gets should it backfire.
