If even half of them could play with the commitment Freddie showed we'd win today.
Vale Fred.

Wow that’s sad, he was a great player and character. True legend.

Fred was (not always) an Officer and (not always) a Gentleman.

But Gee, he was a good Bloke.

Met him a few times, always had the time to talk with you, providing he had a schooie in his hand.

I wish he could have been here for tonight.

Once described as the Robert Redford of rugby league.

He will always be in my memories. RIP FJ.

As they're telling us to stay off the roads, I had decided not to go today. But now I will.

 

[Chip and Chase]

I hope the guys dig deep today to honour his memory. Play like Fred did boys, hard and tough and don't give an inch

after lasts weeks performance, the week of pain the players have had and this news if the boys are every going to show us some fight in them it’s today.

RIP Fred Jones.

Once described as the Robert Redford of rugby league.

A genuine legend of the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles.
As kid I was impressed with his good looks, then one day I saw a close up and thought he's still good looking but a little rough around the edges!
RIP champion
