Wakefield Trinity coach Daryl Powell praises record breaker Max Jowitt

Jowitt broke two of the great Neil Fox’s records for most goals in a season and most points in a season in adding 28 to his 2024 tally in the convincing victory.

But his head coach is every bit as pleased with other aspects of his play and the impressive way he has taken to moving to half-back in recent months after being switched from full-back to help with Trinity losing their three first choice half-backs to injury.

“He’s had an outstanding season,” said Powell.

“His goalkicking is dead eye, he consistently kicks goals from the sideline and I think his game playing at half at the moment is only going to benefit as well.

“But when he plays at full-back his passing game is second to none really.

“I don’t know what his total number of assists is so far, but it’s massive so he’s been super creative.

“Having to move and play a different position he’s done it without any worries at all, he’s just stepped in and got on with the job.

“He’s learning new skills, like getting the ball out of his hands and putting us in corners, but he’s getting better. His touch kicking and range is phenomenal.”

Powell added: “It’s been a really big season for Max.

“He’s an experienced player and he’s been around a long time, but some of the things he’s doing now are really going to stand him in good stead as we move forward into Super League, fingers crossed, for next season.”
