what everyone has said.....a great watch....

JJB is my favorite rhinos player ever as imo he epitomises everything that is not only good about the game but also about how he is as a person

i could listen to him speak forever as he is a very thought provoking character

Jonesy's a Legend

As a member of all the 21st century winning sdes jjb is a legend but part of the enigma that the whole has been greater than the parts.

Would he get in any all time sides, even from the title sides lauititi, ellis and furner would be ahead of him, but what a ball of energy and commitment.

When my old man started taking me to headingley he was still a bit disgruntled re jepsons involvement in the loss of hunslet parkside...

My work mate and Jamies best mate made a cameo appearence in the programme! I went to college with Jamie for a short while, great character and top guy.

o/t but go on... I thought Harry wasn't involved with the Hun at the time, certainly not at a decision making level.

It's good to see the show developing into more than just a career highlights package, and letting the personality of the subject come out. God knows how they are going to condense Harry's career into one show though!

sorry can't elaborate but will try and find out

even if jones wasn't a player at super league level you get the feeling he would be putting in the same effort at the amature game, his charisma stands out a mile compared to others sterile interviews


who else would people like to see interviewed?

Have we had Sean Long yet?

He has always been a player that has that niggling factor against teams, you cant let him fart, often overlooked at other teams cost and good tackler, wish we had him in the squad. nothing personal towards him. and this is a genuine answer

I think his workrate actually causes a lot of people to overlook his quality. He's got good hands, a decent offload game and hits a gap well. I actually think he stands up quite well against the players you mention. It just also happens that he's a tackling machine. If it was an all time side that was actually going to play (unlikely I know) rather than just be hypothetical, he'd definitely be in it IMO.

I've always felt that one of JJB's outsatnding attributes is his chase to follow up kicks.
How often is he first on the scene or at least on hand to make the first tackle following a kick?

He has so many great attributes its hard to single any out, but he's pretty much good the full package for a modern second row

Since my first Leeds game probably around 94' season, or the earliest memory I can remember going to regular games Ive had numerous favourite players, Sterling, Barrie Mac, etc, but for a fair few years now JJB has been far and away my favourite player!

His workrate, defensive efforts and explosive attacking runs are what you want in a second rower. Small, but strong and mobile. Bit of a liability on the old backchatting though!

However, a little tip, If you ever have a bet on first try scorer when hes playing you cant go far wrong sticking money on JJB.

Theres usually about 8 of us who have a quid 1st scorer at the games and I religiously take JJB who more often than not comes through.

Couple of tales, Cant remember who we were playing away last season but me and a few mates went to the pub to watch it. Long story short, we had a quid 1st Leeds try scorer and nobody scored until about 70 min. JJB! Fair to say the lads threw their money at me!

Second one, t'other week at home. Not the first try scorer this time but still, I went with JJB again and as none of the Leeds players we chose had scored yet it just carries on until one of them does. JJB went off injured and came back on in 2nd half. Just as I turned round to my mate to say JJBs back on he got the ball and scored!! haha, pound coins flying at my head again!

Gotta love JJB!
