Unless he played at Mounties before grade football then his only stint there was with Canberra and those boys were chucked on a bus at the end of the week and sent up for captains runs then got on the piss for the bus ride back home to Canberra after games.
I read it was juniors mitch, could be wrong
We not ALL on a similar page, Jackson is the most respected player (by the players and the coaches) in the squad, and by some margin. He leads by example and if you made it to training you would see how he leads the team both by his actions and by his words, when he speaks every player listens. Those of us that made it to a trial can tell you first hand how much he is talking on the field again this year, just because it's not on TV doesn't mean that it doesn't happen.
Correct.
Of course Jackson is well respected by the team and coaches. The fans respect him and all he's done over the years greatly too. That doesn't mean he's an ideal captain and leader for the club or ignore the fact that he's well past his best. He's never been vocal enough with his team or the refs and always has seemed like a reluctant captain that has had that role because no one else could.
More like Dolphins with uncle Wayne.
Cam someone explain to me the difference between a middle forward and a prop?Between himself, thompson and Vaughan you’d have one of the best middle forward packs in the comp. Not sure why we play him in the back row when he himself admits that his future is in the middle.
Just another questionable selection by Barrett. Does he go up to the players and he’s like jackson you’re lock, thommo you are a centre
I’d honestly have TPJ with Vaughan in the front row. And thompson at lock (not that there is much difference between lock and prop these days). They all classified as middles then front rowers etc.
Due to the lack of Rfm You’d have to go with Jackson unfortunately and hetherington in the back row. I don’t mind hetho out wide. He is too small for a middle. Atleast out wide he can use his speed if he breaks the line.
Well RFM is back soon and Waddell played well in the trials
100%. While I do miss having access to a lot of different retail and cultural activities, and Bulldogs games, I just can't stand how hectic it is down there anymore. I've been living in the bush for 6 or 7 years now, having lived in north west and western Sydney all my life before that. It's so peaceful where I live. Ideally I'd have acreage on the outskirts of greater Sydney, so I was within an hour or so of the city, but I'd probably have to win the lotto first.
RFM when he’s fit
I’d like to know too…..
Too many changes.
waddell is an average depth player as for rfm who knows how good he'll play after being out for so long
It's all about tactics and balance of the the pack. The top teams like Souths, Panthers and Roosters play with big body props and the the more versatile middle/backrower type behind them at lock in Murray, Yeo and Radley. We're also seeing teams converting the utility half/back type into a lock, Knights are starting Mann at lock and Manly use Walker at lock off the bench. Those two sides also have genuine big body props ahead of them.I’d like to know too…..
Same as a 5/8 and halfback. Now they are left side half and right side half
I always considered a lock a skilful linkman, the likes of Clyde, Norton, or a tackle machine like Grimaldi.
not sure why. But it seems Sam burger changed the game where the 13 become more a middle forward then a lock? So in effect it’s 3 middles now instead of 2 props.
I could be wrong. But that’s how I interpreted it.
Yeh I know, but I think we should at least try TPJ at prop.
