Tedesco going missing

2 weeks in a row we've had games in the balance in the last 10 minutes and had virtually zero involvement. The only time I saw him last night in the final 10 was when he took a hit up off a scrum. Don't want to be to critical of the only thing we have going for us but it's not good enough.
 
I did notice that also. I think Warren Smith on Fox mentioned that when we had 6 tackles with only a couple of minutes to go on their line, it was tailor made for Tedesco.

He had another quiet game.
 
Played injured last week and probably still seeing tweety birds flying around his head yesterday after that high hit yesterday!
 
Yeah I still strongly feel he's playing injured, is doing a lot of lateral running and looks pretty slow aswell as 50% involvement the last couple games

I'd give him a weeks rest
 
Had planned a set with Moses around the 30 minute mark but Farah decided to go left and pass to the ground.

Tedesco can't do it all himself, its up to the halves to take control at the end of the game, you can't blame him.

Maybe we have become the Eels who rely on their key players e.g Hayne and now Foran, they look completely lost without their key player and so do we without Tedesco.
 
Its not him mate, its Taylor
The last interview i saw, Taylor said Teddy wants to be part of everything but he has been instructed to limit his involvement - (werent the exact words )

7.45 mark is the Audio about it
 
Teddy is playing injured, he is favouring that left knee something fierce. Im guessing he probably shouldnt have played last week.
 
Think we have jut lifted our expectations to the point where a normal game seems disappointing.

He got a couple touches at the end, but with little space or opportunity.
 
Make no mistake - most teams have worked him out by now. His opportunities will become less as the weeks go by.

He is going to have to come up with alternatives to confuse the issue.
 
Can't sustain that level of brilliance week in, week out. He's going to have quieter games. Shouldn't have butchered our two field goal attempts and we wouldn't be talking about this.
 
Err did everyone miss the fact that he got concussed and went off for 10 mins for a head test?

That's two head knocks and concussion tests in 3 weeks people.

Do you just expect the bloke to get his head ripped off, get a medico test (and the issue with getting cold and warming down), then run back onto the field and win the game?

Well actually Teddy nearly did just that against the Sharks!

Don't wanna be critical of the only consistently excellent player in the side who is being talked about for Australia and NSW rep honours, leading try scorer, leading tackle breaks, 2nd line breaks, 2nd line break assists, 4th try assists, 4th try saves.

Not good enough buddy, you gotta win all these games for us!
 
Melbourne got good numbers on his side from what I noted. We must apply more pressure up the middle with harder running and quicker play the balls, pull their edge defenders in tighter leaving them skinny on the outside. Teddy only needs just a little extra room to work his stuff.

Just we did the first couple of games but that middle has gone AWOL since.

Can't use concussion as an excuse, he was running off the field without assistance and actually looked filthy that he had to come off.

I understand all that he does, but one touch in the last 10 mins when we're 2 behind, it's not asking too much that we need more from him.

Most teams have Definetly worked out , that if they can keep him out of play as much as possible, then that equals a win for them ., as there's hardly anyone else that they have to worry too much about.

He had a poor game but he isn't going to have a blinder every game.

I think you guys are only thinking about his attack, have you guys actually watched him closely off the ball? The bloke is a freak of nature how he covers both sides of the field two tackles in a row offensively and the work he does off the ball in defence is phenomenal.. Look at the two occasions he has left the field this year vs sharks, and storm tries were scored straight after he left field.. He is brilliant with how he organises both sides of the ruck with our numbers, this is a difficult job full backs have to be good at and he is great! Better than any other fullback I have analysed with that except slater!

1-2 of those floating bombs he took from Cronk too were phenomenal!
Yes in golden point he as our best player surely he to get plenty of ball, but it wasn't his fault, the TEAM stopped playing footy and just carted the ball forward for a shot at field goal!

Teddy although not electric, was great yesterday!
