Check out his selections my man.. basically in the end it was very divisive for Wallabies. Some say he influenced the brilliant Mark Ella’s early retirement at just 25 because Jones stripped him of the captaincy before the Grand Slam in ‘84. Ella would announce his decision after this tour..

Also look at his special treatment of Brian Smith, one of Jones’ ‘favourites’. In particular in relation to Nick Farr-Jones (clearly the best scrum half at the time) in the latter years. Smith had the ‘perfect’ look Jones favoured. Brian Smith also followed him to Balmain. He did not too well, despite Jones pushing his barrow.

Below is an extract from Chris Masters’ book, ‘Jonestown’. I will add this book is not the only ‘evidence’ I have heard of his favouritism.

Blindsided by favouritism

Alan Jones was just as divisive in his career as a football coach as he is as a broadcaster. A common theme from his time in both the rugby codes was his close associations with certain players. In this exclusive extract from his book Jonestown, Chris Masters reveals how Jones's credibility...

Ahh ok I see. I’ve never actually watched a game of rugby but remember hearing he coached a lot of wins

No doubt he knew how to coach. Just his favouritism towards certain player, destabilised the team.

Hope he gets jail time and drops the soap....oh wait. Hey c'mon ref!!

He introduced ice baths to Rugby League, he liked to suck down a few cold ones after the game.

 

[The DoggFather]

He was also one of the most successful wallabies coaches too

Bro how can you have "successful" and "wallabies" in the same sentence without having "NOT" in it? Lol

There was 1991/1999 where the Wobblies brought Bill home but not a lot since.

But speaking of Jones. I met him once at the Australian Radio Awards in the 90’s. It was very clear that if you didn’t define his ‘area of interest’ that he had no time for you. Smug prick.

A broadcaster mate of mine who worked with Jones and Laws at 2UE in the 90’s at the height of their influence (and arrogance) told me a funny story of how when they renovated the station to placate their stars, Jones had a massive tirade when he sent someone in to measure the space to be Laws’ office to find out it was a few cm bigger. He also went off when Laws’ office was carpeted ‘first’.

You gotta wonder about the sense of entitlement.

Yeah I’d never compare the two - Laws of course has an ego but he wasn’t a Karmichael like Jones.

Never met the pervert but Laws is actually a funny prick. My impression is that Laws was playing arrogant where the other one is naturally arrogant.
