Surely this must be the beginning of the end for Jackson unless he can lead by being an interchange prop. Nothing wrong with his defence at least. Bit like Tolman.

$800K+ a year for four years for a back rower when we don't have a hooker or halfback seems... unwise
Agree with this however we still don't know the terms of his contract, nor is our spending finished for '23.

It seems as tho we're going hard for a hooker, so hopefully one of those will be ticked off.

Half? Which ones are available in '23? I wouldn't have a clue.

Maybe it's a case where the club is strengthening where it can with what is available rather than waiting in hope?

We have 18 months til his contract starts. There might be a possibility we have a half or hooker by then
We have half a hooker at the moment…. I think the recruitment team didn’t read the memo properly

That's exactly how I feel.

Of course it's be great to land a quality halfback but if there's no one out there do we simply sit on our hands?

Agree, it's not the position is strengthen first but you can only buy what's in front of you.

What I will say is that's I'm extremely excited by what's happening behind the scenes. Happy days on that front.

Buck stops with what happens on the field. We need to really start performing now.

Exactly the quality at halfback position is the lowest i have ever seen it. Other than Cleary and Hughes theres not much out there. We have a potentially dominant half in Burton already. IMO hooker has become a more important position in the game today.

Burton is a luxury we have a serious potential star in BBO , Wakeham is there and 3 or 4 talented young ones coming also

What are we supposed to do sign another half to block all these kids just stupid people cant see it

Plus most teams in 2 years time will all have very good young halfs so we need to be ready and have ours primed

Could be that the club feels it's best to promote from within when it comes halfback?
