....Journalist? I wouldn't let him write a letter for VIZ

Be11end. Sadly that's probably the best coverage we'd get in the Times.

I once had "words" with him in the club house at London Welsh. I will be looking out for him in Wellington this weekend to see if he would like to continue the "conversation".

He has no respect from current or former players, who regard him as a joke. He has no respect from fellow journalists. He is the but of many jokes from the moden day supporters of RU.
The question is why over the years have his bosses let him continue his attacks on Rugby League, a sport he obvisously knows nothing about? I'm not even sure he knows anything about RU to be honest.
He can't even be classed as a has been. He's a never was, and never will be.
His article's carry no weight in RU circles. He's a attention seeker, nothing more, nothing less and has the brain of a Buffalo. Perhaps in future we should just refer to him as Buffalo Brain Jones.

I'd really rather we didn't talk about the man - we shouldn't be giving him the oxygen of publicity.

It shocks me The Times continue to let him bleat on about RL like this.

If we are such an unimportant sport why do we irk him so much? I'd love to see him try the game, he avoids contact enough in Union as it is!

He usually only gets this bad when he's angry with League about something. Would imagine this might be because he's in NZ covering the World Cup of that country's national sport and last weekend they were probably more pre-occupied with the Warriors in the NRL final. Diddums.

I'd love to push him off the top tier at Twickers.

Let's do it together!

I saw him once at Reading Services, with a younger blonde lady.

He's Welsh.
Most Welsh RU fans don't like him either.

I really wouldn't concern yourself with this man or his writings.

He's a troll, he gets paid to be a troll by The Times, but he's not a serious RU journalist never mind a RL journalist. This is the sort of copy that gets rehashed when there's nothing better to put in, which says it all about the damb squib that is the current RU world cup.

The kiwis have got him sussed and have him as public enemy 1/2/3 or something, in truth he is a one trick pony and he generates a bit of noise that the Times cleasrly thinks of value..............

Changed for litegation purposes what a t@

Marketing Plan for 2012.
1. Kidnap the Wanker Stephen Jones and announce he will be thrown off the top tier of TW2 Towers after the last game of the season. Entry to this event is only through the purchase of a London RL season Ticket and 100% attendance for home games.

Reckon we'd fill the stoop 13 times.....
JOB DONE!

"Gus M, Gus M sign him up, Gus M sign him up!"

And RU isnt played much anywhere above Bath.

RL is a northern game, RU is a southern fairy game.

Im glad he is giving us the time of day, honest i really am.

Have a look at a Map of the UK....tell me where Bristol, Gloucester, Twickenham, Reading, High Wycombe, Watford, Leicester, Northampton, Worcester, Sale or Newcastle are in relation to Bath?

You could have been more wrong if you'd said Exeter

Have Sale, Leeds and Newcastle packed it in now?

Bristol due West, Glos a few miles north, Twickers and Reading due East. Can't argue with any of the others though.

OTOH, you forgot Leeds, and Preston Grasshoppers of course.

Sale and Newcastle (just) are still in the premiership...Leeds are heading for the trap door of the second tier..

North West



So...NORTH then



North East


...or the ones above.

Didn't forget them......just kept it to the Aviva Premiership (for now)

Not that they play Rugby Union in near enough every secondary school and University in the North though...

Given the ferocity with which he attacks league, I would imagine he actually likes bits of the game but is too afraid to admit it to himself.

Bizarre that you can get away with printing stuff like that, do the ptb even read what their employees have written before okaying it for print. At least our rugby union people are snydy and back-handed in their compliments before laying into our game.

Otley, Sedgeley Park, Vale Of Lune, Fylde, Aspatria, Wharfedale, Tynedale and West Hartlepool!

The Sunday Times now list Sam Tompkins as "worth a punt" for the 2015 RU World Cup.

According to the latest speculation brother Joel may make the switch of codes this summer.............................................................
