Josh Jackson

[Nate DAWG]

He's our new Tolman!

Tolman was an attacking machine compared to Jackson.

 

[Nate DAWG]

Jackson has been set the role of a playmates in the role of Isaah Yeo. This is not his skill set & Barrett should be tweaking his game structure. What worked at Penrith does not work at the Dogs.

What is Jacksons skill set? He needs to get on the bench or Nsw cup. Offers nothing

 

[Psycho Doggie]

Who do we have that can play lock like Murray/Yeo/Victor? Anyone we have who is ready to go? No one?

JJ needs to go, but we need someone who has overall better game to replace him, and we don't have the right now. TPJ might be a possibility as a wrecking ball style lock, but at the moment he is providing too much value alternating between prop and edge forward. Until we get a prop or edge forward who can do the work that JJ does and free up TPJ to play lock OR we get a proper ball playing lock, what can we do?

Curious to know solutions based on reality. This thread has been great at pointing out the problem, but no one is providing any realistic solutions. And anyone who says we should offer the leagues club to Yeo should be permabanned.

Need to find young up and coming locks and wrap as many as we can up, so important position, gone a the days of a tackle machine only or another front rower playing there.

That forward pass when we were on top changed the game. Jackson is 2 years passed his best and eating 800k or so of the cap.

Dude is fried

Needs to be put out to pasture

And Baz needs a bulllet too

 

[BulldogsNation]

he went downhill from the moment he became a lock. at 2nd row his role was much simpler

He’s on nowhere near 800k lol

 

[Teddybear]

Hmm wonder what it looks like if burton took on the jacko role.
Also what should be mentioned is that both jmk and jacko have always had a high work rate in defence ( in previous seasons) this year they have the additional task of igniting our attack and without doubt with the most touches in attack .....let them go back to concentrating on the defence and let the likes of pangai flanno and burton do the attacking

 

[kmr07]

To teach what? Plodding? The guy is a cat forward.

100% he’s not performing, but one thing he is not is a cat

 

[Brian Boru]

Not only is he rubbish, he destroys any and all momentum.

Pathetic to say he is rubbish.
A club legend.
50 tackles a game. How many have you made.?
Following Baretts orders.

 

[dhoo8450]

He's a dead set embarrassment

No, his performance is pathetic.

When he fucks up or stops momentum or gets in the way with the ball in his hands, of course the dud has to tackle.

 

[gee333]

I can handle the comments on some players but I reckon a lot of you are being way too harsh on JJ. He isn't the best player in the NRL but he does a lot of shit you only realise is being done when he goes and shit falls apart.

No time for nostalgia. If he was truly a club legend he would retire. The bloke is a trash player these days and had always been a useless captain.

 

[Heckler]

Sentiment should be put aside and the conversation needs to be had, however I highly doubt he'll be tapped on the shoulder. It'll be on his terms unfortunately.

 

[Glenn L]

He's well past it but he's one tough fucker though. Nobody else would have gotten up after that head collision. Blood was still running down his melon in the presser.

 

[Dog gone]

Game changer when he fuked that play up when we were 6 nil up and all over them. We should/would have scored for sure in that set had he not been given the ball playing task. Wake the fuk up Tbaz!

How many mins later did JMK go for 10 mins, game over!

Barret needs to drop jmk and jackson as soon as next week they both cost us massively today,but they aren't the only ones its the little 1% things that players arent doing that costs us the most its mostly effort when fatigued that i notice the most, alot of lazy players ,like tpj ,jmk,dufty ,vaughan , and lots more just not putting in ,we dont look fit,and that comes back to the coach unfortunately ,bye bye

 

[My Shawarma]

Two moments that summed up our attack.

1. Jackson receives the ball as a link man, throws the pass forward and at the ground

2. Pangai receives the ball 20m out on the blind side and throws a pass into touch.

 

[My Shawarma]

We haven't had forwards that can 'link play' or pass well since Graham & Kasiano. I don't get why you would coach this style if you don't have the players to execute it.

TPJ did the right thing. Naden should have been there. They train for these scenarios.
