As most know on here, I'm not one for getting carried away when a young kid comes thru but I think jones has been very good, he's more than just held his own so far.
He's only 18 years old and the big question is, will have the second season syndrome that the likes of Gaskell, foster have had?
It's a big risk for brown to give jones the starting spot in the centre as he's not played enough and we can't really 100% judge him yet.
If we do sign a top centre on 2 year deal then it's not the end for jones, he's only 18 and could benifit from learning off a top centre.
At the end of the day, brown wants to win things, of that means dropping young or old players for the sake of the team then it needs doing. He will be judged on results and trophies and not how many young kids he brings thru.
In a ideal world the whole team would come from the youth system but anyone With half a brain knows that won't happen.
