how some people have short memories , molzten was terrible last year he should not even get a mention in the same sentence as teddy, it would appear nothing has changed with the new coach, molzten seems to get a dream run again.
Nobody thinks Moltzen is a better fullback, its all about ensuring Tedesco isn't pushed too hard in his comeback. The worst thing we be to see him blast out of the gates and stuff his knee again.
if that means going with Moltzen at fullback for the first part of the season, I'm cool with that.
whats the difference is teddy plays nrl or state cup if his knee goes, would rather him in the top grade than that loser molzten.if teddy is not pushing himself then he does not deserve to get to 1st grade, hes had 3 runs back if hes not ready now he will never be no difference where he plays.
It's not about whether he's ready or not per se, it's about risk. it's more risky and puts more pressure on his knee to play nrl level. And the biggest reason is confidence, how many times have you been unable to walk for 6months, have to undergo GRUELLING rehab just to be able to bloody go for a jog. Don't think all he did was rest in bed till it healed up and then he can go off playing 80min games week in week out in the nrl.
