Jones asked Queensland NRL legend Jonathan Thurston in an interview on The Rush Hour with Leisel Jones, Liam & Dobbo, how he felt about being inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame, revealing her ongoing struggles.
“I remember walking into the room and thinking, oh wow – and you talk to all these people and you think ‘Why are they talking to me? Why do they have any interest?’” said Jones.
