Will Jackson retire at seasons end possibly? I just can’t work out where they’ll all fit in?

To me…. It’s got to be goodbye to Pub Crawler Stimpson & RFM, maybe even Jack Hetherington too.
I'd keep RFM over the other two, but only if he can get back to his best. He's only worth having in the 13 if he plays to that level.

I'd be happy if it's true. He's a good consistent middle that can play big minutes. He's a solid defender and makes good metres. It'd probably mean one of Thompson or Vaughan won't be here next season though.
Vaughan for sure if he expects decent money, he is ageing. Vaughan is playing alright but is 30. I would argue that Thommo being here was an attraction for Sutton.

2022
8 Thommo
9 Mahoney
10 TPJ
11 Kikau
12 Hetherington/RFM - one of them has to go to obtain cap space for other positions
13 Jacko

14 Avo/BBO/Cook/JMK
15 Sutton
16 King
17 Patolo

Who remembers how Bobcat retired? He was captain at the time too, but iirc he wanted to retire, so there wasn't any hard decisions to be made by the club/coach. He went out while still playing well.

That's where it's tough with Jacko. He's the club captain, a one club player and stalwart. How tf do you tell him? "Sorry Josh, but you're really not first grade standard anymore"?

We need someone to partner Burton first.

He is a lock if he plays middle, definately. Not a prop, he has played a lot of edge also
He’s literally played zero edge at the Raiders mate. He’s an out and out lock or prop forward.

Good player & good signing. Hopefully this means we can offload Thompson somewhere next year and use that money on a halfback.

Maybe. I wouldn't be surprised if Thompson goes instead of or as well as Vaughan.. Sutton could start at prop and TPJ to lock in your lineup.

Round 4 vs Titans: Lock: 64 minutes, 1 try, 1 LB, 40 tackles, 5 missed, 180 metres, 3 TBs

Hetho still on right edge Kiku left edge
Tpj to middle
Jackson is contracted for next year and Hetherington has done nothing in a Bulldogs jersey to justify being ahead him. Jury is still out on TPJ but I’d assume he could just switch to the right if he’s playing well

And he's too fit, consistent and makes too many metres. Plus he's not a penalty machine and doesn't get suspended often enough.
can you find a stat as to how many 6 agains he gives up per game?
