James Tedesco Appreciation Thread

[Milky]

**No criticism about Tedesco in this thread please.**

He has definitely earn't his stripes against the Buldogs, definitely a player of the future. Go Teddy.

Loved him the minute I saw the guy

He is the most natural fullback of all the young guns coming through , and once we have a fully functioning forward pack and backline he is going to be awesome

I said it last season and will say it again ,by the time he finishes he will be regarded a better fullback than Bret Hodgson

I think he still has a lot more in the tank speed wise as well , he seems a touch slower since the knee injury and will graually get it all back

Reckon Teddy might hit 180 metres this week

I think he has a ways to go, but if he keeps up his good work lurking around the ruck always prepared for the chance of an offload he'll go along way.

He already hit 180m against the dogs. Yes it is hard to believe he went that good in a crap team.

Pretty sure it was 160 odd metres once it was updated Milky

Nice hair

I like his determination. He was told he would start in NSW cup and every interview I heard he didn't complain then produced a man of the match performance and demanded to be selected even if it was out of position on the wing.
Went to fullback for 10 minutes against St. George and produced. Slowly getting used to NRL level and looking more comfortable ever game. Still a very long way to go but the signs are good.

 

[Newtown]

He will be a key player in future years.

 

[tigeress]

James is doing a great job for us at the moment, I hope he remains injury free, and is able to get more experience at his favoured position as FB.

Nice hair

he does look hot… has no wierdness about him

dont like the "no negatives" portion of this thread.. if only life was like this

 

[Stripes96]

I'm just happy we finally have a fullback who runs the kick returns back. The fact that he is a fantastic fullback in the making is a bonus

Just hope he can regain the footwork and pace that allowed him to make numerous linebreaks in his earlier years and PLEASE DONT GET INJURED TEDDY! :bawling

Support play and aerial plays are fantastic though!

 

[kh_canada]

Agree Happy, and the make up of the guy is very similar to that of Hodgson. Only difference is Teddy is a mile ahead at his age. Got a huge rap on his future in NRL, if we can see any light in this extremely dark tunnel we are going through, then it's Tedesco. It's good to see the forum focusing on some positives.

 

[MacDougall]

Teddy is a monster compared to Hodgo. He's nearly 6ft and 90kg.

 

[pHyR3]

Teddy needs to perfect his step to be able to be as good as hodgo. i think his injury has hampered that, i hope it comes good and his knee never troubles him again

Tedesco has proven himself, where are the other players? Woods has shown he has put his hands up, where are the other players? It is about time they take a page out of Tedesco's book and be counted.If every player trains and try as hard, the West Tigers will go forward.How about that?
