In a world gone mad there can be only one. When a world needs hero’s there are few who can stand up and face the gailing winds.
Well there is such a person who can bring the crowds back to park touch footy.
After the cold winters nights severely effecting his ability to breathe and the cold icey air drawing like daggers across the walls of his lungs now passing us by as Spring appears, Jackett may have again found the touch and skill we deep down always knew he had..
Last Monday evening he took his team to a 6 – 5 win which included two tries only he could score. One of which was a 50 metre intercept. His driving, incisive runs down the right hand edge of the field led to break after break after break. If Jackett wasn’t charging through the gaps he had made in the defensive line, he was putting his team mates in those same chasms of pasture to run through.
Yes Jackett bombed two maybe, three tries which would have put the game beyond doubt a long way from the final whistle but Jackett is all about the fans now. He doesn’t play for himself. By keeping the game close, he held the watching fans tight in his grip. It could be suggested that it was by his choice that he dropped the ball with the line wide open just so the crowd could ask each other “well maybe he is human after all”.
We will never know the answer as there are not many who can get close to such a personality.
Now with the weather warming up those screaming lungs will be humming like the engine of a Ferrari 360 Modena. Who knows what will arise from the next clash this Monday evening.
One thing I can asure you is that this humble reporter will be there to watch the brilliance..
