Is Tedesco The Best Fullback In The Last Decade

When fit, Tedesco is arguably more complete player than Slater.

Lol what garbage.
Teddy shows great promise but he is miles and miles behind Billy. He has only just learnt to position himself in defence correctly. Give Jimmy the chance to grow as a player before lumping him with the best ever.

That would be close to my 5\. I mean, I would take Teddy over any of them for next season, but players like Slater have been at the top for a decade.
 
Slatter the best in the last decade.

But I'm hoping Teddy will be the best for the next decade and that he does it at the Tigers.

This is a fair list… Maybe find room for Hayne and it would pretty close.

Teddy will be a classy Fullback and over time will be worth a crack at 'all time' 'top 5' lists in the future, but he is also going to be playing in an era that will have Valentine Holmes & Cameron Munster chomping at his heels.

Good Times ahead for the Tigers if we can keep him!

Hayne misses out due to his lazyness and lack of consistency.

I agree.
Teddy is exciting to watch, but not the best.
Its up to him, and only time will tell.

The reason why I created this thread is because from all the time that I have followed Rugby League, the past 5 years, I had only grew up with Tedesco. I thought he was by far the best fullback in the league (which he is right now). I just forgot about the 5 years before him where the likes of Slater etc. were playing. I have only just lived beyond a decade.

But in 10 years time I am sure we will say. Tedesco has been the best.

I appreciate your enthusiasm Ben and had you pegged for a young teenager from your early posts. Keep your chin up young man, even if a few on here can't resist taking a shot at it.

Yep keep your posts up buddy, don't worry about us old guys. Just keep in mind every one here is just putting their 2cents worth in and there are no wrong or right opinions just different ones.

And your right Teddy is one of the best of this lot, my son thought that Hodgo was the best in the world and Tallis was a big bully! I showed him the likes of Jack and brasher but he still thinks hodgo is the best we have ever had, although he thinks teddy is cool as well.

Agree. I'll send the meeting request….

I 100% believe he'll be up there with the, if not, the best so I'll be looking forward to the request bigsiro :sunglasses:
 
Hayne can turn a game better than anyone and Slater for a high level of consistency over a long period of time.

Reckon Tedesco better than others. Imagine hime at Melbourne playing fullback. Gee.
And as for Boyd imagine him playing for us. Don't think he'd be noticed much.

Best thing about Tedesco last 2 yrs is his defense. As good as anyone at the back now. Potter had him coming through middle taking offloads better for attack.
Certainly has a better passing game than Slater.
