Interesting concept that: signing a lock to play...lock. I wonder if it would work for the hooker position???
I know if I am looking for the qualities of a good hooker I seek out a specialist hooker….it’s a no brainer!

He was definitely great in his cowboys days, premiership winner. Definitely be interesting, and could go very well in the new team.!!

If he starts at lock it means Jackson goes back to the edge where he is no longer suited. No point in strengthening one position to weaken another.
Will be a bench forward at best.

Jackson should be in the prop rotation. He is a warrior and gets through his work and is tough as nails.
I have been saying this for a while. Much like Steve Price towards the back end of his career, Jacko is no longer an edge forwatd and should be playing big minutes in the middle.

Yep Jacko was done on an edge last year.

He will start at lock and maybe play 50 minutes. Asiata can come on at the back end of both halves and do a bit of ball playing in the middle of field.

Gives us an extra option in attack.

A lot of running forwards are now available. Thompson, Asiata TPJ, etc.
We just need someone who is capable of providing good ball at the right time.
