Opinion Josh Jackson = Tolman 2.0

[D0GMATIC]

He is trying to do too much

 

[John Matrix]

The club took a stance on the you know what so we don't have Asiata to do that job. Meanwhile the biggest anti-vaxxer is running around for the Storm week in week out big Nels

Yeah it sucks, would have made a difference. Meanwhile Nelson has a exemption which I don't see him falling into the very clear categories at all.

Other clubs have them too, dogs set a standard that no other clubs follow and its cost us.

How good would Asiata have been for us
Can you you imagine Asiata burton dufty all attacking threats

 

[the_insider]

Jacko just does not have any attributes of a modern lock or edge forward, no ball playing, no footwork, below average mobility and no tackle breaking power. To me hes an undersized prop these days

 

[D0GMATIC]

Its getting painful. Tolman used to waste tackles in the opposition 20, but Jacko seems to think ball player is his future for some reason

 

[Roger the alien]

Jackson's been finished for a couple years now.
We should have never re-signed him when we did.
If we look like finishing towards the bottom of the ladder again it won't surprise me if Gus moves a few contracted players on like he did at Penrith.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Flame me if it's a shit idea... But would it be a bad idea to move JMK to lock and have him act as the ball playing forward Barrett craves ? That way we could rotate BBO and Cook at hooker instead.
I dunno what's best, but I'm just fucking tired of seeing Jackson ball play.

Ideally you just put Waddell there, but Barrett just seems sold on making him a battering ram and benching Thompson...

 

[DaBulldog]

This thread is an insult to Tolman.

I agree, I think Tolman was actually better.

 

[blue & white blood]

He is trying to do too much

he's not doing enough.

 

[D0GMATIC]

he's not doing enough.

He is passing to much,and getting in the way

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Honestly we shouldnt even be ball playing through the middle... Just have TPJ, Thompson, King all start middles and try play the power game for quick play the balls. We have speed and threats out wide that would be able to capitalise on this

 

[DT]

Legend of a player but sorry Josh Jackson you are fucken past your best. Hogging the fkn ball every 1st 2nd 3rd & 4th for 1 metre gain kills our attack

Haha.. during the game I actually yelled 'fucking Tolman again'

 

[Malla]

This doesn’t make him shit, just means we should be using him different. Tolman at the sharks is still doing a job for them.

JMK plays there sometimes when BBO comes on and is more effective as a running utility lock than at hooker. Baz should use him more in that role if he's going to play him and have BBO on at hooker for longer.

 

[Grunthos]

I love and respect the guy and he has a heart as big as Phar Lap's but he is now past his prime and every time he takes the ball up he's ineffective.

110%

As a decoy?

 

[Philmus]

Fuck him off to NSW cup! He offers nothing

in attack or in defence. he missed a few tackles last night too

 

[Philmus]

i was laughed at when i said this before round 1, now everyone seems to have seen the light that he's too old and the games gone past him. so what if he has a good set of arms on him? he's too slow, gets in the way and is not at all an attacking threat and not what he used to be defensively. thanks for the years of service mate, appreciate the blood sweat and tears. if you love the club you'll hang them up after this season and free up your salary allowing us to replace you with someone capable and take another role within the club

 

[Sword]

I don't mind him as a Tolman 2.0 as his defence is good, so perhaps we should consider playing him as a front rower.
He'll certainly eat minutes without starving our attack.

So many better contenders for our back rowers.
