Ultimate winger and finisher. For me, hes one of the greats. Just all round great league player. He will retire happy and boy does he deserve it. Best Wishes to future Jason. :)

What you said - Solid,reliable, consistent and tough as they come - a man to build a team around! Underrated! Go well brother.

Another real legend of the game gone Solid And Reliable, He would make my starting team anyday

Great player, his highlight reel will show he scored some brilliant tries over the years. And a bloody good guy on and off the field.

Thanks for memories Jason, Ive so enjoyed watching you over the years. Good luck to you mate.

One of the greats of the game, Probably never made 99% of every league followers kiwi team for whatever era but was always picked by the Kiwi coaches in the know.Greater respect in Aussie than here. but at least he chose the country of his Iwi rather than that which he spent most of his life. (unlike some mercenaries)Great career, Great player and like Phil b Solid and reliable.

has there been another year like this with so many greats retiring at the same time

An absolute class act! Jason was never the fastest or biggest wingers going around in the game but he did his core roles well and was greatly consistent. Great bloke on and off the field. Theres a reason hes played so many games for Dragons and Kiwis. Definitely a legend!

Should have come to Mtn Smarters next yr and won 19 comp with the boys!

Good player. Never should have played for kiwis as he is an Aussie but he did really well for us
