Hope they don't chuck him in under done and ruin his Australian jumper chances.

 

[clifferdSH]

Only want him there if he's 100%

Although A 70% teddy is probably still a lot
Better than rankin lol

 

[Geo]

It'll be more like 2%/98% chance….......

 

[TYGA]

Teddy will play this week if Titans lose.
Middle Jaw fracture is 3-4 week injury that is if the reporting is correct.

 

[Buffalo]

He won't play unless we make the finals

 

[hobbo]

It would be stupid risk to take IMO

 

[Guest]

If we can knock over the Raiders and make the finals I suspect we'll see him but not before then.

I understand the need to win, I understand that sport is result driven, I also understand (but don't agree) that players are a commodity. But I just think that when it comes to injury we have to put the players best interest and recovery ahead of the result. I don't agree with coaches bringing players back early, look at Brooks I don't think he has fully recovered and he has played reasonable but you can tell he is not right.

If we were rushing him back for a GF I would understand (not discounting the importance of the raiders clash but it's not a GF) and I would think that Teddy would declare himself fit if it was the GF but let's allow injured players the opportunity to recover beforewe put them back on the field?

 

[TCL]

Sorry that should " before we put them back on the field"

**"A host of unidentified players gave statements to the RLPA and accused Taylor of being too strong-willed and suggesting players take the field injured or be dropped."**

Hopefully these reports are untrue in this case. Anyone heard more about this (crosses fingers and hopes a Farah Taylor thread does not start)

Wests Tigers NRL young gun James Tedesco plays on with leg fracture

FOR James Tedesco, the pain of playing with a leg fracture is more bearable than not playing at all.

The young Wests Tigers fullback has been battling to overcome a crack in his fibula suffered against North Queensland nearly three months ago.

But, having missed all but the opening 30 minutes of his debut NRL season in 2012 due to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament on the same left leg, the 20-year-old is determined not to give in.

"If I do get a knock on it, it’s pretty painful during a game,’’ he said.

"It does kill for about five minutes or so, then you run it off and it goes away.

"It’s just frustrating because I want to play.

"Especially from last year, having only played in that one game, it is pretty important that I keep playing.
Mick Potter trusts the word of Tigers board

"Even though I’m not having the best season, it’s important for me to get games under my belt for the experience."

Ironically, it was injuries to senior teammates Benji Marshall and Braith Anasta that opened the door for the talented youngster.

Tedesco inherited the No.1 jersey from Tim Moltzen, who was shifted to the halves in the absence of Marshall and Anasta before a knee reconstruction cut his season short.

The Tigers custodian insists his decision to keep playing would not have any long-term consequences, with his eye still firmly set on representing Italy at this year’s World Cup.

"It’s not an injury that can get worse, that’s what they’ve said to me.

"It’s mainly just playing through a bit of pain and that’s what you’ve got to do sometimes for the team.

"That’s part of first-grade - copping injuries and playing with them.

"It’s not just me, it’s half the team are playing with some sort of problem.

"Sometimes it plays on your mind a bit, I’m a bit tentative to step off my left foot.

"It’s all a bit harder to play through but it’s just about getting that confidence of playing with it.’’

Nah let the kid rest and get well.. Remember Lawrence coming back from a jaw injury and thought gee how brave.. In the end no one will remember, look after your health and come back when fit %100..

Yep I thought of Chris 2010 straight away. He came back from a broken jaw after 3 weeks for the raiders semi and was terrible. He was extremely tentative, you could tell he wasn't confident in the jaw being healed.

For a fullback this would be ten times worse, as good as he is no way is he worth risking unless it's 100% healed.

He will be back to training tomorrow and absolutely no chance of playing.

I have faith that our medical staff know their stuff and won't rush a player back too early.

This rubbish about JT playing players injured is rubbish. The NRL tightened this years ago by ensuring that the team doctors had the final say on a player being fit to play.
