[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1070623, member: 73144"] I guess he’s mentally tough in the sense that he’s much more fight than flight when the going gets tough. Worse traits than that and iceman was deserved for a good while for his goal kicking, particularly on the important kicks. But he also suffered from the English trait, particularly evident in cricket, of making the ‘best’ player captain irrespective of whether they actually had any leadership skills and consequently sending their personal performance down the toilet. Thankfully Jonny was spared that, playing in era where we had a number of good captaincy options - a luxury Jones really hasn’t had post Hartley (and Hartley was pretty much his only option then).
