MAYBE Daniel Jackson will play to 100, because the ageless one has plenty of incentive.
Jackson took 5-64 against Mosman on Saturday, taking his season's tally to 45.
His chance to reach 50 wickets comes with Saturday's first-grade final-round match against Sutherland at Old Kings Oval..
Alas, Parramatta were always going to struggle against Mosman, despite the evergreen opening bowler's contribution.
Luke Wells has returned to Sussex, Shane Cassel was recovering from having his appendix removed, and both Michael Wood and Raza Rizwan had torn webbing in hands.
Mosman scored 9(dec)-310 on the small Alan Border Field before Parramatta replied with 137 and 25 without loss.
Captain Michael Stretton showed great determination to post 47 and take his season tally past 600 runs.
The news was better in seconds, where their outright win stretched their lead to nine points, guaranteeing the minor premiership and a home qualifying final.
Thirds and fifths had convincing wins, consolidating their positions in the top six.
