| [quote="Butcher":392qz2o9]I don’t actually think he’d be in that high demand. He’s one of those players who is completely underestimated by other clubs’ fans, and always has been, and I think if you told the average supporter Max Jowitt was potentially second in line for the England full back shirt they’d laugh in your face. And they’re all the reasons I love him. I’m desperate for him to absolutely tear it up the next couple of seasons - because with Welsby possibly being moved into the halves (once Wellens/his successor realises Tristan Sailor isn’t wise enough) he has a genuine shot at being England’s full back by the World Cup in 2026. Against, any opposition fan reading that would wet themselves, and that’s why i don’t think he’d go anywhere else for now[/quote:392qz2o9]
I have always expected he will play for England towards back end of his career. He’s been on a steady upwards trajectory for years. He’s developed his game well and is far better than Wellsby in some of those areas such as joining the line and his pass selection ability. The only thing Wellsby has over Max is just the turn of pace after a step. An injury to Wellsby (hopefully not) or a position change and Jowitt could find himself thrust into an England shirt as you say.
I also think that he would be a big boost to edge plays and set plays in any England set up.

| its the first week in January... negotiations take time... whether to leave or stay in 2026... that takes time... however:
- I see no speculation on possible suitors in the RL press
- all the signings and retentions have been announced at a time that is strategically beneficial to the club
- Currently MAX is an icon at the club... his performances in '25 with either enhance or break that status.
- his most recent form has been as a standout player at championship level
I kind of like that we don't have to be scared of players leaving or staying for money any more... if its right for both parties he will be a Trinity player in '26 and beyond... if it's not right for both parties then he won't.

| Nothing to do with being a doom monger, just stating - discussing the current points, personally I am a big fan of max & I do hope we sign him on a 4 year deal in line with our team building.
I also think that our full back line would be very potent with him. Up the trin.

| Spook / Start, you are both correct.
Plus for all we know, the deal may already be signed.
What will be will be.

Will reply as one
I think all of your comments are fair enough . I have no axe to grind and agree that he is a good player who can still improve . I also take note of your comments being different to other clubs who haven't seen him play week in and week out , and again you are absolutely right . With little or no coverage of the lower leagues , we weren't able to see his performances on a week by week basis .
The one thing I feel that I have to mention is his outstanding effort to reach 500 season points and break the record . A fantastic achievement even at a lower level .
The fact that he is even being mentioned as a possible England Full Back is testament to the progress he has already made, although at 27 it could be argued that it is difficult to measure at exactly what level he should be at now . I still have my own doubts about him being ahead of Evalds (in particular) and also Brierley , but that's just my opinion to be fair , we're not all going to agree .
Perhaps I was being unkind to say that he hasn't yet reached SL standard , on the basis that you spent a season in the Championship and prior to that were at the lower end of the table during Max's earlier time in SL.
I think we can all agree that it is going to be interesting to see how he goes this season and I wish him all the best (except for the 3 games against Cas of course.Hope he has a few off days against us haha)

| Max was outstanding in 2024, has persevered when the likes of walker Hampshire et al were picked in front of him. However if he’s second in line as gb full back think it says more about the dearth of quality in British game. Championship player of the year is nice but both max and the other former championship player of year walmsley have a lot to prove at sl level. Realistically think we are the team most likely to give him a good deal, personally think talk of other clubs is just that - talk! Am sure he’ll be announced before long along with atoni
