Extended contract until end of 2019 according to league Express.

Let's up that Max Jowitt's feet don't start itching too much in those two years then.

At the end of the day we have to play our best team possible! If thats max or scott at full back then so be it.

Really can't see max waiting in the wings for another 2 years, way too good to be constantly overlooked. Wouldn't blame him for looking elsewhere if nothing comes this year

Wonder if Max fancies a loan somewhere not too far for a season.

Which other super league clubs need a first choice fullback?

Steve & Michael seem to get on well.

He could well do ! But i think they will stick with eden in that possition.

Bloody hope not mate. Some players look natural at full back and make it look easy. Eden isn't 1 of them players.

Great news for the team.
He's consistently been a top 1-2 performer in nearly every game.

Idle talk really, whilst I rate Max very highly as an orthodox full back I don't think he'd be able to play the Cas full back stile.
i e Dorn, Hardaker

I'm a big Grix fan, but if he is here till the end of 2019 it doesn't automatically mean he will be first choice fullback. He was last season, because he was on top form, but if he slips I'm sure Max will get his chance and then it's up to him!

Cas full-back style lol. Don't make me laugh.
What's so special about their style that stands out ? A full back is a full back. Maybe Hardacre has been doing it a bit better than most but don't kid yourself that Cas have some sort of special style. It's simply not true.

Jowitt v Eden at fullback? No contest.

Gutted for Max.

Max played well against Salford away in the league. Grix comes back in and has several stinkers (I'm not the only one who pointed it out at the time btw) Max's next game is then Cas away.

Saying that, if Grix has signed a new deal, then that's that I guess.

To be fair he said stile. Maybe he meant to type turnstile?

And at no point in the next 2 years will Grix get injured or lose form? The position is there for the taking, if Max isn't willing to wait sis chance so be it.

Got to trust the coaching staff, let's face it they're not doing too bad so far. I'm sure they'll be talking to all our young players who are waiting for their opportunity. I'll be surprised if we don't see a lot more of Max this season and next.

On telly in a Cas shirt?

How things change. Two years back there was uproar on here when Max was rumoured to be going to Warrington.

We alos have another highly rated young player who is a full back he was out at Dewsbury and Oldham last season maybe he is being developed for the role.

So what exactly do you want?

Do you want the team elected by the fans or by people who actually have a clue what they are talking about?

A year ago Grix dan't played a game for us he was just a rumour so Warrington is an utterly spurious argument. If Warrington do want him then fine that's life, do we punish Grix for being old despite the fact that to most people including the Coach he's better based on Max Jowitts 'potential'? Might as well get shut of half the team based on that logic.

Why are you gutted for him he's only 21 he's probably got another 2-3 years to prove himself at SL level.The way people like you talk you'd think he was on the scrap heap.

FWIW I see every possibility of Max getting a chance this year and taking it with both hands - which is exactly how it should be. You seem intent on creating an issue where there simply isn't one.

Just my opinion. Sorry.

No, not at all. I expect him to play for Trinity.

Just my opinion.

So we have two great fullbacks signed up.
What's the issue with that?

We have more than 2 wingers as well. More than 4 props, etc etc

That can only be a good thing.

I was gonna say the same. Do some people expect us not to renew Grix and just hope that Max will last the year? Like Vasty says he's got to be looking & backing himself for his opportunity to impress. Whether that's in pre season or if Grix gets injured and then take the opportunity to keep the No.1 shirt.
