Jackson

[finchie]

It usually gets a bit better towards the end of the season tho

Let me guess
Last 6 games

Jackson is not the problem. He busts his ass week in, week out.

Issue is what is around him.

I don’t agree
His game has gone backwards.
He isn’t the SOLE problem yes, but he is a part of the problem.

How has it gone backwards?

I think you are expecting more from Jackson because the team is so shit. But what Jackson puts out there is no different that what he was doing when we had better pack around him.

Now, to answer your next question - yes, this could be part of the problem. Why are we investing this much money into a player that isn't going to give us what we need?

Lol get off it. Jackson gets absolutely dominated at contact both in attack and defence and looks the least mobile he's ever been. His performances are rubbish.

Ok lol

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Ok lol

Laugh it up all you want, it's still the absolute truth.

 

[The DoggFather]

It's the Bulldogs captain curse. Since Price left, the players that took his place go on the decline.

Ryan, Graham and now Jackson.

 

[Haddaway]

He is a genuine plodder now.

 

[CaptainJackson]

I might have to change my name from captain Jackson to captain wakeham

 

[Raikkonen]

I think he should be played in the middle. He's not dangerous on the edge. Elliot would be more dangerous on the edge.

He wouldn't be copping anywhere near as much criticism if he moved to the middle, unfortunately he should've made the move ages ago and with our lack of edge forwards it probably won't happen again this season.

 

[Donkey Slayer]

No he doesn’t look like the worst captain ever, don’t insult him like that, him and Tolman are the only ones who remained loyal while the other fucktards jumped ship.

Just a general question if Jackson was out who would your second row and lock and bench be, especially considering Elliot may be out?

We don’t seem to have the cattle in our forwards to cover injuries, that’s just the recruitment problem, which is why Jackson is playing injured

The cattles coming for jacko and all of us lets pray

He's not a middle in today's game, locks these days are either pseudo props like Carrigan, Finucane, Ese'ese, Twal, Horsbraugh, Brown etc or dynamic/skillful forwards like Taumalolo, Murray, Radley, Trbojevic, Arrow. Jackson is neither of those, he's never been a big yardage guy nor does he have the offensive skillset of something like Murray or Radley.

 

[Mighty_Matt]

I reckon we should be buying John Asiata from cowboys to play lock big strong and a good skill set

 

[BULLDOG 4 LIFE]

The biggest problem is that Tolman and Jackson are the exact type of no frills forward, and the good teams don't even have 1 of those. Plus these 2 guys take up so much of our cap

 

[BULLDOG 4 LIFE]

For the right price i agree. We need skill and real footballers in our team

I agree he's not any of those players, but we currently don't have anyone who fits this PD, unless Thompson can fire.

Every time Jackson has played in the middle he has been way better than on the edge. State of Origin was a great example.

 

[_BT_]

I like Jackson as a club player, but dang, he has always been highly overrated.

 

[albatross]

I've always thought Jackson whilst good was never as elite as some people believed he was.
When we had a pack with guys like Graham, Klemmer, Pritchard, Kasiano, Eastwood, etc Jackson wasn't asked to lead the pack. I've always felt that Jackson could be just another cog in a good pack but he's never inspired me as someone who's a top 3 player in a good team.

Agree Jacko was never elite but he was excellent there for a couple of years. He had a couple of great SOO series in that period - NSW player of the series twice.

He’s now a shadow of that player. Should be concentrating on his own game for 50 mins at lock and giving the C to someone else. Problem is we’ve got no one else I’d want to give it to.
