He pretty much single handedly grew the interest in the one day game like no one before him. I used to sit there begging for Marsh or Boon to get out so I could watch Deano bat......Loved him as a player - what a champion.
Condolences to his family - 59 is way too young to go.
"Our errors and when we made them was the reason we lost. When you have a ref that loves a set restart (some random for both sides) you are always going to fatigue when you hand over possession so easily."
"This is true . We are also light on a couple of quality forwards but the game has changed. Quality outside backs are worth their weight in gold . Not only can they break a game open they're also asked to solve problems in defence , scramble to save…"
"
I agree, our outside backs are sub par. However, outside backs are only 1 piece of what the Eels need to become a contender. Throughout the 40 plus years I've followed Rugby League I have never thought or heard that a side has won a premiership…"

Dean Jones, RIP you champion.
Sad news, and thoughts to the family.
He was a pioneer in the one day game. Probably born 20 years too early with the shift towards short format games now.
Will be remembered for his 200 in India.
Yes, fortunately I do think BE was aiming it at you, at least , I prefer to think that was the case, nothing personal Pops 😉.
I should add, this assumes BE was actually employing any type of thinking at all!
B.E you are a disrespectful piece of shit, with no more right to be on god's clean earth than a weasle. Bet Mummy's real proud of you.
Very sad. Great bstsman. RIP Deano
Shocked a sad loss
Will never forget his 145 against England in a one dayer at the Gabba in 91. Absolutely torched them in the days with tiny bats.
RIP Deano
