I'm not against it but I don't see it.

The difficulty is finding out without throwing him in to a super league game. That would be wrong to me. Needs to be a lot of time spent in training.



Saying that you'd think Chester would know if it as an option.

I'm not so sure.

Most attacking full backs are heavily involved in making the extra man/ providing the link on any plays to get the ball wide and therefore they tend to be familiar with the set up and the calls.

Max went very well on Sunday and he may be able to cover SO but, IMO, it would be more likely that we would move Grix into SO and put Jowitt at FB

seen him play stand off quite a few times n the past and he went OK.

I agree its something to consider as an option maybe in a season or so.

He does chuck an impressive pinpoint pass - but so do lots of FB's these days; it's de rigeur for the FB to join the line in attack and work as an extra pivot - so it's a good part of his skillset for his current position, if not necessarily an indicator that he would go better in a different one.



He's still got some work to do on high balls though - had a great game on Sunday, but fluffed a couple of those, and never quite looks convincing when he goes up for them.

I thought last season he was pretty faultless under the high ball. It was one area that worried me regarding Grix replacing him. I put the couple he miss judged on Saturday down to lack of big match practice.

I agree. Last season he was a lot of the reason we did well as he returned high balls with interest when previous fullbacks have been all over the place.

How many SO's have gone to FB? So why not the other way round?

As for not being able to give Max a chance in a SL game, why not?

We're not struggling as a team and if the pack is on the front foot, it should make his job easier.

Deja Vu all over again !!!



I've already expressed my opinion on this



But I think Jowitt will make an outstanding 'old fashioned' stand off ... soft hands ... runs good lines... elusive and in predictable





And... from what I've seen of his videos at Dewsbury ... Luke Hooley looks an outstanding full back prospect!

I agree with Vasty, Max's as good pace and a good passing game why not try him at s/o or even centre if we had more injurires, Plus how old is Max's he can only keep on improving just like Reece as done, Clubs too quickly offload they young players for a quick fix unlike Wigan who seem to play there players all over the place and credit to email













up the trim

A good example of fullback going to stand off is Darren Lockyer. World class in both positions. Max is plenty young enough to master the full back position and like others I reckon he also has the ability to make a good stand off.

Max always seems to be involved in try moves and I can see what Vastman means.

I would have thought it would be reasonably easy to give him a start there as long as there was cover in the team to re-shuffle if it it backfired!

The main factor about this topic is that Max had a great game on Sunday
