With all the other stuff going on, I've lost track.
Is Max back this week to play or just to train?

Apparently, back this week along with Luke Gale, KT, Jai, Ashurst and Liam Kay.

Must be to play, he's been around the lads the last few weeks when they have been warming up so suspect he has been training. Not sure an away trip to Catalan is the best game to ease him back in mind!

If he does play, I hope Dagger keeps a place in the team, whether centre or wing.
He's been the strongest 3/4 for weeks.

If Max fit ,I think Dagger will play on the wing. Get Kaye on other wing and the 1 to 5 should be far better than recently

I don't disagree but to be honest I've been ok with Lineham recently. He has taken the high balls when under pressure and makes good ground off the line.

What about leaving dagger there and moving max to 6 see if we can get this line moving a bit quicker

My thoughts too Mopsey,
Leave Dagger where he is and play Jowitt at 6 with maybe Gale at 7, that’ll focus a few minds and might be the best half back pairing at the club

Max to 6 is a good call. However Mr carter will need to justify giving Lino a 3 year deal and signing Gale on 2 years ,for that reason my money is on that pairing.

I recall back in late 70s early 80s we had a scrum half very much like Lino and we moved him to loose forward and he was sensational. Mike Lampkowski.

Think Lampy had a bit more bulk than Lino, but as you say, a legend. Would have put his heart on the line for Trin.

Indeed. Lampy was built like a little truck.
And it was also in the days when 13 was a ball handler not another prop.

In the modern game Lampy would be a world class hooker.

Used to love Lampy. Like a young bull was an oft used description. Him and Graham Idle had a sublime run around move straight off the scrum.
Believe he had pioneering surgery on his knee that got him over one lay off but his style was both his greatest strength and ultimately his downfall. I recall reading at the time that he or the club had difficulty getting insurance for him.

His surgery was so advanced that they interviewed him on Tomorrow's World.

Toppo and Lamb Chops, the sword and the rapier. If only….!

And for some reason I think he was on Blue Peter. What I remember was his try celebration which involved him hurling the ball into the air.
If and once again I am relying on my memory the injury occurred against Batley in a pre season friendly at Belle Vue.

I recall being at the Willows, Salford, when Lampy had attempted another comeback but his knee gave up. I can still see him limping off the field. That was it.

Enjoyed watching Lampy, one of my favourites

Mine too. I met him at one of the player reunions too. Thoroughly nice and humble guy.

He was a sensation when he played hooker for England R U .a player who could find a gap .Up there with the best 13 at Wakefield .Like a few year ago the team Lampkowski was in ,looked like it was going to go to new hights,and then got dismantled because of cash .

He was scrum half for England RU.
Played 4 times.

I agree I thought he was a scrum half in RU.

Yes. At the end of 1980/81 we ended up 4th in the league only 3pts behind winners Bradford.
During the close season we lost coach Ray Batten and Bill Ashurst took over. We lost quite a few players and ended up 1981/82 14th and relegated. Quite a slump!
Was it still Trevor Woodward at the top?

Sorry gents, it's lovely to reminisce, but what about this being a thread about Max Jowitt?

It's fair but I thought we'd answered the question so let it go.
He's in the squad for Friday so hopefully he is ready.
