| I think it'd be a nice touch, if he's physically able to with the help of crutches, lead the side out at Wembley.

| There's more to life than being a professional rugby league player. I see a lot of ex-pros who get to their fifties and sixties hobbling around because they didn't understand when their bodies were telling them enough is enough.
Jamie's got four young kids and a lovely family. It's time to enjoy them, before he ends up putting himself at risk of serious, quality of later life reducing injury.

Agree with this. Not to mention the massively increased physicality of modern RL that we have no idea yet how it's going to affect players in later life.
Having said that, if I was JJB, I'd be loathe to let my career end this way if I could avoid it.

And the tough son of a b**** still got up on one leg to play the ball so his teammates could keep attacking.

| It all depends on how serious is the injury. JJB has seen our two first choice props keep their places despite being several years older. So if he makes a good recovery he could still look forward to a few extra years. He has certainly earned the chance.

| You can fully understand why the coach and team mates have such respect for him...he really is the epitome of what has made this team a real team these last ten years. To get up to play the ball after suffering such an injury is quite incredible.
As somebody else said it would be a great tribute if he could lead the team out at wembley.

| He's contracted for next year and accounted for under the cap. For next, if he wants to put all the man hours in to get back then the club should support that. Next year was planned to be his last anyway. People have written him off all his career-if he wants one more crack and is medically cleared then let's get behind him.

JP had a serious knee injury a couple of years back when he was around the same age as JJB is now and an older Kylie has just recovered from a serious injury. So don't be too quick to write him off as I said he has earned the right. He showed in the semi how effective a player he still is and led the line and took the ball up particularly in that key first 20 minutes.

Neither JP, or Kylie had suffered the serious injuries JJB has in his career, especially in his early career. Add in the minor injuries he's suffered over the past few seasons and I can guarantee that he's more shop worn than JP was in 2010.

| If Jonesy wants to continue playing and can recover, then I think the Club will support that.

icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

| He has certainly earned a stab at getting back to full fitness. The difference between JJB and the other two props is the regularity of his injuries and the seriousness of them
