Teddy

He is a star in the making, but still a kid, we have to be careful on how we handle him physically, hopefully in his year off he has been able to get some muscle on his frame and alike to prepare him for NRL. Some time in NYC might be advantageous long term

He might need half a year in the 20's and then in reserves to play with men , needs a year of just building his confidence . Not being thrown straight into 1st grade after a year of missing football…

I agree with this strategy in handling Tedesco..I'd start the year with Simona at FB.
 
As far as his confidence goes, surely it will just depend on how he's looking in the preseason. Some guys just don't seem to let these things worry them. Others, such as Tim and Benji, clearly had major problems post their knee injuries.
As far as spending time in NSW cup, I tend to subscribe to the belief that "if you're good enough you're old enough". There have been numerous examples of youngsters of Tedesco's age being selected to represent their country. (One of my all time favourite Balmain players - Geoff Starlling - was one such 18 year old who played against the Poms). So it wouldn't surprise me to see the young fella starting in the top grade next season. I hope so anyway.
 
If your on Instagram start following James Tedesco, He looks like he has bulked up in size, looking very fit.

Instagram is amazing. Many and numerous Wests Tigers and NRL players use it!

He's played 40 odd minutes of footy hard to make a call.

Be nice to see a fullback chime into backline play again.
