Why we Signed Ben Jones

[Guest]

yes just in case you didnt hear, he's back.
the ranga that could fit in to just about every position; centre, half, hooker; and do badly.
i dont mind having him back though, as long as he is used as a reserve and nothing else.
anyway, the reason he was signed was because we have no indigenous representitive for the all stars match next year.
every team has to nominate an indigenous player to play in the team next year.
since ant mitchell left, we have no indigenous players, so we had to get jonesy back, so he can play (again) in the all stars match.
he as bout as indigenous as my dog, though

So you have traced his heritage, know who his parents are and who their parents were and so forth? Or are you just basing this statement on his shock of red hair?

Not a 'do-gooder' 36. Just curious to know how Kegs can be so certain of Jones's lack of indigenous genes. You shouldn't make judgement calls on people on appearance alone. And that's not just limited to ethnicity or whatever the word is. Unless Kegs knows Jones personally?

I despise do-gooders mate but if the bloke is Aboriginal then he is Aboriginal. Simple as that. It doesn't matter what tone of skin or hair colour he has.

We (jets)

[Guest]

I find it far-fetched that we would sign a player on the basis of the NRL All Stars match.

[Muffdaddy]

The Jets signed him, not Easts.
And I doubt the Jets are going to be asked to represent at the All Stars game....
