Quote: Durham Giant "The problem with Jacko is that most fans have no idea what his role is.
fans want a team of 4 props all of whom are blockbusating, making breaks and offloading to the half backs every time they carry the ball.
Coaches realise that every team has to have someone who does the hard, monotonous work, tackkling and carrying the ball in
Jackson is a coaches player. He will never be a fans favourite. But as a good , solid, grafting prop he creates the conditions for the impact players and the backs to play there game.
I like Jacko and every team needs one or two players like him. I hope he gets the respect and support he deserves at Cas. He was a good player for us and i am sad to see him go. I wish him all the best in the future.'"
Obviously you've seen more of Jackson than we have this season but from the Huddersfield games I've seen I'd agree with your summary.
Seems very similar to Stuart Jones - does the hard, unglamourous work that fans often miss but coaches love - a player that the majority of Cas fans have really appreciated this season.
If he plays for us like he did for Huddersfield I don't think there'll be too many complaints from Cas fans next season.
