Stacey Jones, the little man with the big heart talks so easily about playing for the Vulcans at the same time he announced his return to the Warriors from retirement.
Jones ia a star at his 33 years old,and althought he did not play last year, before that,he was playing for Les Catalans in a lesser competition compared to the NRL.
"It will be a long, hard process coming back," he says. "I know there’s a long way to go. I decided that I would sign with the club but I won’t be coming out and going straight back in the team _ there’s a lot of hard work to be done first.’
"I have to earn that position, same as anyone else, if I get that far, and I know it could all go wrong. I have thought about all that."
"It’s very tough and I know that and I know there’s a lot to do."
About his returning to the Vulcans, he said with his sense of modesty and fair-play:
"If I have to go to the Vulcans or even club football, I will certainly do that if it will help me. I’d be keen to do it. Ruben Wiki played for the Vulcans this year and, anyway, I think everyone has to be prepared to do that and I know that it would help me as well."
Jones will help the Warriors by promoting the competition from a position where there has often been gap-plugging rather than a contest for selection.
