Why? Do we drop a player every time they have what you call a poor game? Grix was exceptional last week and as ever showed why he is first choice and from what I saw last night he should remain so.
People can chirp on all they like but Grix is still better than Max who was dreadful against Saints.
I fully believe Jowitt will make it but it will be in stages - he’s no billy Slater in fact he’s more Scott Grix and it took years for him to truly establish himself - I really don’t get this insane rush to fill a team full of 22 year olds, let them develop and mature - Jowitt and Crowther and all the rest will make it if they are good enough.
This idea that there is this pool of players in Wakefield that were never given a chance is a total myth. The team from 2010 was it? the one Anakin came from - none of them made it - not because they didn’t get a chance at Wakefield and I accept some perhaps didn’t - but because they simply wernt good enough as there exploits at there new teams proved.
Danny Brough proved beyond all doubt that no matter how many times you’re shot in the foot or you shoot yourself in the foot true talent combined with real continents will prevail.
Agree with this. Grix was great last week and generally, his RL brain is far better than Max's atm, as it should be with his experience. The way he knows when to and when not to joins the attacking line, his support play and his numbering up & marshalling others in defence when they're out of position, or when we are low in numbers on one side or the other are better than Max's. Yes, he can have the odd poor game but so can the best.
Obviously, Grix is going to retire soon and someone's going to take over, so Max wants to make sure he's doing the right things in training and when he gets his chances, he'll move into FB. He's just got to keep improving because we've also got Hooley as well, who'll be looking for that place in the next year or so and make sure he is the next in line.
