It's a NO from me.
I've thought about this too. We want him in the middle but Elliott is looking good at 13 so it might be worth a look.I know that this is straight out of left field, "I guess some might laugh" but I would love to see Jackson at hooker for the first 60 minutes, then put JMK on for the last 20 minutes, when opposition players become tired. Jackson will never be able to make breaks like Cook does but their are not to many hookers who can.
Jackson can tackle and pass as good as any no 9 in the game, and with so many backrowers at our club, (RFM, Thompson, Waddell, Elliot, Stimson Doorey) he wouldn't be misses either on the edge or in the middle.
Jackson at hooker would take us to 17th next season.I know that this is straight out of left field, "I guess some might laugh" but I would love to see Jackson at hooker for the first 60 minutes, then put JMK on for the last 20 minutes, when opposition players become tired.

This 1000%.NO NO NO.!!
Don’t think his passing is good enoughI know that this is straight out of left field, "I guess some might laugh" but I would love to see Jackson at hooker for the first 60 minutes, then put JMK on for the last 20 minutes, when opposition players become tired.

Ha, ha ha, 17 in a 16 team comp, I know what you mean but a good laugh anyway, spoke to one of the board members only very recently, his response to Jackson at 9 was ( IT WOULD BE INTERESTING).Jackson at hooker would take us to 17th next season.
A good specialist hooker would be ideal, but who can we get, I believe that Jackson has 3 more years on big money and his form on the edge has been ordinary of late, If we don't sign a top N0 9. I believe it would be worth a go, he wouldn't be any worse than JMK or Katoa IMHO.Don’t think his passing is good enough
Anyway, i think we should be going for a specialist hooker
I mentioned this too sometime ago for the exact reasons you mentioned.I always thought of trying Meany at hooker,
My reasoning Cook was a fullback turned hooker,
Meanys fast and got a good pass plus he’s a better defender then most our second stringers.
I think until we get a specialist hooker we should keep JMK and Katoa there and tweek their game to work in with our game plansA good specialist hooker would be ideal, but who can we get, I believe that Jackson has 3 more years on big money and his form on the edge has been ordinary of late, If we don't sign a top N0 9.
