Jackson

[Ewan McGrady]

He’s consistently among our best. But how good is RFM going. Has to be our best player of 2020.

 

[Wolfmother]

Definitely stood out tonight and gave it 110%..reminded me of Ennis except Ennis did this every week

Not sure how people can honestly say Jackson has been good this year, he even admitted himself his form had been down. I think some people get blinded because they love Jacko but his stats are well done, he's yet to make a single line break in 19 games, his offload numbers are the lowest in his career, one of his worst years in terms of missed tackles %. As mentioned earlier people keep bringing up effort, effort has never been an issue nor has it ever been questioned

People question his leadership but it was obvious how much the boys respect and want to follow him last night.

Maybe if our frontroweers were laying a decent platform he wouldn't have to take so many yardage carries up the middle

Exactly. A win is great in his 200th, especially against Souffs, but lets not start thinking Jackson is all of a sudden going to be playing State of Origin or something...

His best games have been up the middle, let's just face facts he's not the threat he was on the edge anymore

 

[Chris Harding]

If only we saw that effort every week.
Not just from him but everyone.
Well done Jacko, hats off, great game.

That effort is there every week, but the opposition usually has more experience in running down a lead and closing out the game. The Bunnies made some basic mistakes that gave us opportunities we rarely see in the latter part of a game. Normally all our opponents' passes stick, and they don't lose the ball over the line. Increasing our lead, late in the second half, is also a rarety for us.

Best game of the year. His runs were all effective. His defense was like the jacko of old. His try saver on Murray was magical, especially as Murray knows how to score tries.

He's carrying our pack. Put him behind a quality front row and watch him bend the line and damage ***** in defence

 

[Bulldog_4_Life]

He plays really well up the middle, made two try saving tackles on Murray yesterday, quality game.

He looks like he is being limited by an injury, hopefully he gets a good pre-season and can get his body right before next season.

 

[Jarrad El Hickey]

Completely different player when he plays in the middle of the field his days in the back row are long gone

He was a LOT more animated and vocal last night than usual. Could see they came with a better mind set. A lot more talk from all of them. Their respect for JJ stood out.

He's never been that kind of player even playing behind Klemmer and Graham, the way you describe him is as if he's sonny bill of 2004. Jackson has always been more of a steady player rather than the type of impact player you're describing
