It's a point of view I suppose.

Broughs is still our best half back, we would have won last Friday with Broughy playing.

Agreed, Jowitt has done a great job but hes not at Broughs level just yet.

And also inform the club they are up against next

The squad is given out 48 hours before the game Nothing to stop club giving out who is injured then .Would get people of Mr Chesters back

I think they do that when they announce the 21 man squad Snowie.

If Brough is our best half back, something is very wrong.

Brough was our best half back till he broke is hand .as not looked the same since

Dunno watch the Hull KR game back, he was quality

Why are people getting upset? Max has done a great job and I see him as an HB for the future. These days the CCup is a second-string comp, it's the obvious game to see if Brough has recovered.

We still need Brough as we need Jowitt. Jowitt won't become an HB overnight, I expect and hope to see him in and out of that position through the season. Also, Max is now the only cover for FB at the moment.

If last season taught us anything its that you have to use your resources sparingly. Max has a huge utility value now, FB. HB and even wing, he's very much in the same boat as Hampshire.

It's a squad game these days rather than a first name on the teamsheet mentality. It's interesting to see that Fifita has also been thrown in when you could argue that he isn't needed for this game.

Max and Hampshire will get there, I don't think CC is an unfair man, he's a coach so he's cautious, which is what we pay him for.

Well that's a very fair summation of the present situation I think FC.
My thoughts on Jowitt are the same - he's worth a contract extension for his utility value alone - I think his expires at the end of this season (?)

Could be last game for a while.

So worth making the trip.!

I agree with rotating the forwards, especially when it's a short turnaround, but not with Full back & Half back combinations. Obviously CC's hand has been forced already losing Walker, Brough & Hampshire, now Jowitt too. I can't see how it helps with the other threequarters trying to get an understanding, when they are all different in what they bring. Obviously Brough and Miller again now, if Jowitt is fit though next week, and he doesn't recall him, then Chester will have just totally contradicted what he said, although tonight's game could be the last for a while anyway.....

Brough should retire and put everyone out of their misery.

Wish you would

Good one.

Are Bradford a better attacking outfit than us?

Well that could have been embarrassing.

That was embarrassing. A massive warning sign.

Got away with it in the end but that performance was nowhere near good enough.
