Josh Jackson

[Vic Mackey]

I know he seems like a channel 9 and rep favourite, but I really don't see anything in this guy. To me he is a run of the mill first grader that doesn't really add anything. Doesn't have quality hit ups, no offloads/ pass before the line, not a line break option. As an 80 min player he seems to average like 80ms a game which is pretty poor. Can tackle well but that's about it. Don't understand how he seems to be thought of as an elite back rower. Am I judging him harshly?

 

[roostersrule2]

He's pretty good.

A poor man's Cordner.

 

[Game_Breaker]

He's a workhorse

I think it just comes from being selected for NSW.

Begs the question why he was picked though doesn't it.

 

[The Pelican]

He's pretty good.

A poor man's Cordner.

Pretty much.

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

He f**king sucks. Sad thing is him and Cordner will be long term players for NSW.

Can't believe we benched Lane for this overrated hack.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Cordner runs good lines and can also throw a decent ball. I'd say he is more like a poor mans Watmough (when Watmough was actually good)

Agree thoroughly - extremely overrated. A workhorse but nothing special at all - actually on the shorter side of a second tower.

 

[Bennett's Love Child]

I agree. Never seen much in Jackson. No idea why Daley decided to start him at lock in Origin 1 this year.

As has been stated above, Cordner > Jackson, easily.

 

[lafai]

Cordner and Jackson are both nuffies at rep level so they cancel each other out.

 

[Snappy]

Stagg 2.0

 

[DiegoNT]

His a good but not a great player.
Usually there are a few token rep jumpers given to players after a grand final campaign. It's usually wingers or hard working back rowers that get these selections in end of year tests and/or the following seasons origin. Guys like Hegarty, Rooney, Waterhouse, dallas Johnson, Steve turner, Anthony quinn, dean young, dave Williams, Tony Williams, Tupou, Johnston and Jackson.

I see your Stagg and raise you a Lowrie.

 

[hineyrulz]

A plodder.

 

[Lemon Squash]

merkin can murder a golf ball though I'll give up the tip

 

[THE CHAMP]

He's pretty good.

A poor man's Cordner.

Wow you think he's that shit?

 

[BennyV]

Frizzel > Jackson

 

[Stranga]

Just another typical midget plodder nothing back rower.

In other words a NSW state of origin rep.

 

[Cockadoodledoo]

Wow you think he's that shit?

Cordner shits all over third man in. It is only that big nose daily is such a shit coach he doesn't realise he is not an impact player but rather an 80 minute player.
