That means that he should know the gameplan and how his teammates play much better than the likes of Dow, O'Brien, Kennedy, McKay, Mullett, Phillips and McKay.
It's hard to kick goals when you're not in the 22. It's not much easier when you're in the 22, down on form and on the receiving end of some speculative inside 50s. Hopefully Jack will get back among the goals against the Doggies.
Who is kicking the ball to Jack?
Dow, O'Brien, Kennedy, Mullett, Phillips, McKay (x2??)
How many games has Jack played with each of them? How does he know which side they will turn out of a pack? Which part of the ground they will look to when they do turn out of a pack? Will they hit you on the chest, leave it short or over the top? Will they bounce first? Can they deliver on their opposite foot? What kind of distance can they kick accurately, consistently when running at full pace? At half pace?
Jack, and others, need to know how each of those players will perform at any given scenario and wouldn't have played more than 4 games with any of them, with the exception of Phillips, who have played together on 9 occasions.
