Pressure, pressure, pressure. Jed brings this in spade's. F the possession count, pressure wins matches, and everything Jed seems to touch at the moment is in a contested manner. So glad he is practically dancing from contest to contest at the moment and knocking down opponents in such away they all fall down like humpty dumpties and he just goes gets that next toe poke, tackle or hip and shoulder which forces the ball forward.

You shouldn't feel shit about it all. You were there and you gave that person a chance. The odds were always stacked against you.
Yeah, I'm all good now.

Not very many people are brought back.

There are no others
Having done unsuccessful CPR on someone, you feel pretty shit after it.

Couldn't imagine the feeling of it having been your own father.
Same. Turned out the guy had a crushed neck and was going/gone no matter what, but I only found that out months after the event.

He seriously cannons into blokes much bigger than him and always keeps his feet.

Must have done a tonne or core work over the last 12-18 months because he always used to go to ground!

Repeat efforts were on show again today!

Love to see this bloke now starting to get some reward for all his hard work, and that story just demonstrates how much he has been through and how resilient he is.

We all see the hardness, yesterday there were more signs of his skills. I think we are going to see more of this as he gets more comfortable at this level and some people might be a bit surprised about how good he will be.
