Across 12 Top 14 appearances as a replacement, Jackson has built a consistent profile as a steady defensive contributor, averaging close to three tackles per outing. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting the limited ball-in-hand opportunities typical of a bench role, though his best outings show he can push toward seven carries and 25 metres when given the chance. The data paints a picture of a player who earns his minutes through defensive reliability rather than explosive ball-carrying.
