Quote ="1315trinity"What you and others in here should be doing, is getting behind players such as MJ. He always answers the call despite being dropped or overlooked more times than I care to remember. From the dozens of times I've seen him play, he's never 'ducked' a tackle.
When he first broke into the first team he looked a class act at FB, his linking up with TJ in particular was a joy to watch.
I'm not just alluding to MJ , the knocking of some of the younger players is a bad call to me.
That's the difference between us and clubs like Wigan, we knock younger players, and drop them, because they aren't an instant hit, whereas Wigan bring them on slowly and encourage them'"
How many years has he been playing fullback in the 1st team. He answers the call because he wants to play I'm not arguing that, but that doesn't mean he has to play. As for ducking a tackle you really have to watch the games he's ever played in he's always ducked a tackle. As for a class fullback, If you looked & read my previous post I said Jowitts other play is great but you really have to look at his defence & it's there plain to see, He cant defend & for that he can't be the last line of our defence, Watch the last 2 games. When did I knock other younger players? All I was stating was a fact that I'd seen for the last few years If you looked back over the last 4 or 5 years I've always said the same I got a lot of stick from quite a few people on here saying that I was talking rubbish but people are starting to see what I was trying to say I don't dislike Max it's just that I don't feel he's a SL fullback. Just one more answer if you looked on the Wigan website they slag a lot of there players off young or old, But then how many Wigan players don't make it.... Not many
