When people on here were bulling max us as the new Messiah it was only going to end like this ,with a howler. The lad is still learning his trade and just started getting regular game time after being messed about ,mistakes are going to be glaringly obvious as he’s the last line of defence .It’s a long road to get to the top in any sport and max is just setting off on his professional journey ,and hopefully in a year or two we have a homegrown fullback who’s up there with the best .

It doesn't take long for the knives to come out does it?
Max hasn't had his best game tonight but every player is allowed mistakes now and then.
He's the best FB we have at the club but the expert coaches on here know better of course.

Must admit that faux pas towards the end was a little reminiscent of the Grix v St Helens incident. But generally I've been quite happy with Max this season.

He rarely runs onto the ball, he takes it in from a standing start.

I was at the game so not sure if it looked worse on TV but Max wasn't the problem today. He made some mistakes but our left edge handling Mata’utia was a big problem and us making too many mistakes while in possession just handed them the opportunity every time.

Not sure what you were watching but I saw him do that a number of times today.
But even so he still makes more metres than any other forward and he was heavily watched tonight and still rattled them.

Well, I know max had a bad game tonight, however he has recently had very good games, but, tonight, Castleford s 2nd try, again Max
Ran across in time but chose to stand in front & was knocked on his booty a from the winger's momentum, surely, he has to learn to tackle
Side on to have a chance to stop the touch down, he has tried too many times front/square on & got knocked over !
Don't get me wrong, I like Max, but he must learn & move on.

I must have been watching a different game Fifita ran onto the ball numerous times. Fifita and Tanganoa caused the Cas forwards the most problems.
