Taking the hard hits, making the toughest yards and leading by example in the Super League and international arenas, 'JP' has come through adversity on and off the pitch to become one of the most respected players of his generation. He won the 'Man of Steel' and 'International Forward of the Year' awards, along with a host of other individual honours, while picking up Super League titles and Challenge Cups with Bradford and Leeds. No White Flag is a revelatory and inspirational account of a life in professional sport, from starting out as a skinny youth and being told he wouldn't make the grade to the euphoria of winning the Grand Final with hometown club Leeds. Forthright and to the point, Jamie pulls no punches in describing rugby league as he sees it.
