The Bulldogs have dropped their opening two games of the season, first in wet conditions to Melbourne and then to the Sydney Roosters last weekend, by six and four points respectively.
They risk going 0-3 for the first time in 21 years, if they lose to the NZ Warriors in Dunedin on Friday and after dropping the last four games of last year, it would mark the longest losing streak of Hasler's coaching career.
But Jackson insisted the side weren't far away from re-finding the form that has taken them to the last five finals series under Hasler.
"We've been in the contest, we've lost both those games by a try," he said. "It's just putting the 80 minutes together.
"Once we get that first win, I'm sure we'll get the confidence and we'll string a few together."
The club has also embarked on a new attacking structure this season, which has seen halves Josh Reynolds and Moses Mbye receiving more ball.
There were clear signs of improvement in their 28-24 loss to the Roosters last Thursday, while hooker Lichaa has also been given the freedom to run the ball out of dummy-half more.
And Lichaa said, while his first priority had to be to ensure his own contract was renewed at the end of the year, he also was keen to see Hasler stay at the club.
"He's an unbelievable coach, everyone knows that," he said. "It's kind of laughable for the players that [there is talk] he's getting the flick or something like that.
"You could ask any of the boys that have re-signed, Des is obviously a big reason that they have."
