Absolutely and it's good to see that passion in the Shirt. Hastings and Hardaker are two others who have genuine pride in the shirt which, as non Wigan natives, is a particular joy to see. I really enjoyed Jackson's playing to the crowd after the tries yesterday. He's starting to build up a real rapport with the supporters already.
As to Marshy; when he first came into the team it was clear he was a natural finisher but had several deficiencies in his game, notably in defence, under the high ball and, not having natural size, wasn't as effective as others bringing the ball out of our own half. He has systematically worked through each of these weak areas to the point where I'd say one of them (bringing the ball out of defence) is arguably one of the strongest parts of his game! That's genuine application. His defence is now solid and he no longer gets caught out of position either. The improvement in his all round game is exemplary. A class professional and a credit to the Jersey.
