If this kid stays a rabbit for life he’ll end up with a statue out at Redfern. He is the bravest footballer I’ve ever seen.
If anyone has any doubt about how good he is, go back and watch the last half hour of tonight’s game again. He was immense. In a period where we had no subs, our forwards were out of gas and we were hemmed in to our own half he was taking two hit ups a set. When everyone else didn’t have the juice to get there, he was getting there. Second tackle, running into the teeth of the Roosters forwards, getting pummeled and yet still playing the ball quickly and then backing up for the 4th tackle hit up.
When Pete couldn’t get to dummy half, Jye was there. When Sullivan sliced the chooks open and looked inside for support, Jye was there to score under the posts.
The kid was immense and there’s no way we win tonight without him.
When his career is done in 15 years time, people will talk of him in the same breath as they talk about Preston Campbell and Matty Bowen. Jye Gray is all heart. Long may he be a Rabbitoh.
