Tedesco Thread || He's staying!

[tigersrule4life]

Exactly we have kept all our young guns and probably they stayed for less cash because they know we are going to be a force for years to come. Hopefully he stays loyal and takes a pay cut and be part of a great future. Im confident he will stay.

It's a fair point that Nofoaluma, Sirro, and Simona all signed up very quickly. There's a lot of people claiming we are insulting Tedesco with what we are offering him. Why would we offer Tedesco radically less than what he is worth but offer the others market value? Could it be that money is a bit more important to Tedesco than the others? If that's the case it's really his prerogative, and is perfectly understandable given his injury history. It's worth considering though.

At this point I'm a little bit over it though. If he leaves, he leaves.

He does not seem to want to be here, so let him go. If he does go, then no more first grade for him this year.

Let's see how Rowe and Sleeman aim up.

This whole contract drama is taking an age,I mean Noffo,Sirro,Simona all signed in a matter of days/weeks,this has been going for months,I personally have had enough,just go to Canberra mate if money is all you want.
I mean you are a great prospect,but you have missed as many games as you played,you may become a great player,or an immortal but at this stage you have played 25 games,and as such the club can't throw ridiculous money at you.
There is a salary cap to try and fit under,and you have let Noffo and Sirro sign while you procastinated,so more dollars have disappeared,it is probably your managers fault but the longer this goes the more you look like a mercenary.
I love all our juniors and would be stoked to keep you with the rest already signed,but if you want huge dollars just put an end to this so we can get on with trying to A win this year and B plan ahead for when your gone.

Just a thought, i'm wondering if people on here would be willing to put heir money where their mouth is?

How about WTForum offer Teddy a 3rd party sponsorship? A fan based fund to help keep local juniors that we want to stay. If you got a thousand fans offering $5, $10 or $20, or however much they wanted that could be an extra bit of cash (5k-$20k etc?) to throw at him outside the cap and entice him to stay. Obviously we wouldn't be able to offer 100k or anything huge like that, but the gesture alone could help.

I wouldn't mind putting up a a few bucks to help my club keep a quality player every now and then. He could come on and have monthly chats on here with us, or something like that. Maybe even a meet and greet for forum member sponsors…

What say you?

I'd lose all respect for him if he went to Canberra and wouldn't play him at all for the rest of the year. I can understand signing for the Bulldogs/Roosters with their amazing teams and coach, but Canberra? He's just a sellout if he does that.

Plleeaaee

If he went to the Dogs or Roosters you would feel exactly the same saying he showed no loyalty and took the money the richer clubs were throwing at him.

I hope he signs soon!

Please Teddy, you know we love you!

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Obviously I'd like him to stay he is a definite talent no doubt about that, I'm not a fan of swanning about at other clubs and dragging things out but that could be from both sides of things. Apart from the start of this season with his blistering form I have been so so on him anyway, what's not to say Rowe or Moses couldn't hit similar heights say next season. So in a nutshell if he wants overs go to Canberra get it over and done with and lock in others such as Gavet and the like, as many have said I doubt he will look anywhere near as good in a average raiders team sometimes the grass isn't always greener on the other side just the money is.

Farah once visited the Gold Coast facilities did he not

So stand by for a Facebook photo of James Tedesco with a Vodka cruiser in one hand, peptide needle in the other arm giving the finger to the camera while sitting on the roof of the Fone Zone he just drove his ute through the front of. Ricky Stuart is in the background doing something obscene to Joel Monaghan's dog whilst accusing it of siding with the referees.

Seems to be how weekend's in Canberra usually finish up.

Well, since the heroin drought

I dont know how much we have offered Teddy & i dont know how much he wants, I want him to stay but he does have to do the right thing for himself. Loyalty comes into a bit but wont pay the Bills, As i said i hope he stays but we have to put up a competitive offer.

 

[Irvine]

As i said i hope he stays but we have to put up a competitive offer.

That's all he is asking for a competitive offer…the question has to be asked Why are we not giving him one ?
If its such a good offer lets put it out there for everyone to know. How much is it..then we can all make our minds up..talk is Canberra have offered 500k for next year...What is our offer ?

[Old_Maggie]

either sign with wests-tiger or not.
stop mucking around and make a decision.
the game and wests-tigers will continue whether you are with them or not.

I'm honestly amazed and shocked at why people are angry with James over

1/ How long it is taking and

2/ Why he shouldn't get as much as he can

He entitled to both and he sure as hell doesn't answer to any of us when he wakes and looks in the mirror every morning

Mick Potter said in his presser this morning that Wests Tigers have offered James a "massive" 4 year deal to stay at the club.

Originally, I was told the initial offer was something most Under 20s players get. First offer an insult to James from what I'm told.
