Jackson disappointed in Bulldogs rep block

Jackson played his first representative game for Country in 2013 but he will be missing from next month’s Mudgee fixture, played just four days before Canterbury’s NRL away clash with North Queensland.

“I really wanted to be a part of the game so it’s definitely disappointing, but I’ve just got to respect the club and the fact it will be a four-day turnaround,” Jackson said.
