About Glenn Jackson
Glenn Jackson is a recent addition to our league stable but is by no means a greenhorn. He spent seven seasons at the game's bible, Rugby League Week, before joining us at the beginning of last year. He hates the way footballers have become so cliched, and does his best to find the personality and the purpose behind the robot. Still, he is just happy to be covering first grade, believes reporting is truly a game of (column) inches, is ready to step up for his teammates and will always give one hundred and ten percent.

Caine mutiny: Dragons identity says Doust should join Gasnier in France
DICK CAINE generally only needs a minor hiccup to serve it up to Peter Doust. So today, on the day star centre Mark Gasnier announces he will be leaving the club two seasons into a five-year deal, it's hardly surprising the long-time Dragons fan could not resist sinking the knife in.
