Tedesco

Teddy can have 2 bad years and people will still be saying give him time,ATM he is very ordinary and everything he does just looks awkward, i would hate to think if it was molten the crap that he would be copping.

if you say so mate, but i reckon you'll be eating your words round 10 next year. I'm not saying he'll be an origin shoe-in, but he will be a good first grader.
 
I'm not seeing it, he's a lightweight he's got ticker I'll give him that but he's gonna have to be as good as Slater Bowen Preston in other areas of his game if he wants to survive and have a career in the nrl, I just can't see it he reminds me of Joel caine and McDonald always slipping over and just generally looking awkward or always looking like they will make a break but just rarely do once a hand gets laid on him his run ends.

I will be happy to eat my words but I honestly thing he will just be an average first grader. You compare him to Milford or Dylon walker from the rabbits now they are going to be superstars not this bloke who I'm still waiting for him to make his first line break.

With the year we have had as a side and the injury he is returning from I am more then happy for him to play out the year and get another off season under his belt
 
I must admit I'm not seeing anything in Tedesco's game that warrants all the excitement and big wraps that many people on this forum were giving him early on. I know it's still early days as far as he is concerned and he is an improvement on Moltzen already, but the predicted 'next superstar' label does not fit at all well on him at this stage. Now everyone is talking up Brooks in the same manner as they were Tedesco - it's a recipe for huge disappointment, imo.

He's 1kg lighter than billy slater, and is averaging 3.4 tacklebreaks a game. Slater's at just under 4\. Corey norman at 3.2, mcmanus 3.3.

Just wait till his fully recovered from his ACL.

i agree jas.. i'd prefer him playing nsw cup this year coming back first grade next year..

only guy off contract worth going for is locke.

other person could be barba, but i doubt he'd leave the dogs unless going to QLD.

Tedesco is playing as well as could be expected this season of a bloke coming back from a major knee injury, with barely any 1st grade experience, behind a well beaten pack most weeks and is part of a massively underperforming team. He is also bravely playing on through his turf-toe injury.

However if he is not showing some improvement in attack towards the end of 2014 I would be reconsidering his role in the team. You need a strike weapon chiming into the attack from fullback and someone who is a gun support player up the middle of the field.

I would be making a massive play for Kevin Locke if he is off contract at the end of this season, he is a class player without a doubt. He would be a great player to have in our side, great under the high-ball, super fast, solid defender and brilliant in attack and support play.
 
Realistically he is our best option at FB now and next year. I think he's been ok this year. Certainly couldn't complain about his commitment level. I'm sure he'll be even better next year.

Teddy is 20 will develop into a josh dugan type of player. People on here a way too harsh.

People aren't too harsh but comparisons like this are not what he requires. Tedesco hasn't looked great. Its that simple. First it was Slater and now Dugan. Tedesco is nowhere near these players. In most teams he would be struggling to hold a first grade spot.

Since when was Billy Slater dominating the comp in his first year? The guy dead set could not tackle, he was a borderline liability.

Such short short memories. If a kid has potential, give him a contract, a decent run and then make the call after a few seasons.

Everyone wants the next champion on the field and winning comps from game one. I fear for poor Brooksie the first time he plays crap in firsts.

let's face it Moltzen is a much better attacking fullback than ted. when plays are run he fits in so smoothly.

Maybe at the moment, but Teddy has more attacking potential than Moltz, plus he's already better in defence. I know who I'd rather have under a high ball.

cant believe same people on here were saying I am happy to see the back of moltzen only 6 months ago are now saying drop teddy and bring moltzen back. Moltzen never ran the ball back with pace. never followed the forwards around and struggled under the high ball. Wow memories so short.. Teddy needs 30- 40 NRL games before we even start seeing his best.

Its not even close at the moment. To hear the criticism regarding Moltzen's support play ability is laughable when Tedesco doesn't receive the same criticism.

Still I prefer Tedesco over Moltzen. Tedesco is safer defensively and gets us a lot more metres.

I just hope he gets some zip back into his game. If he doesn't we will need another fullback option and will have to move him on.

Moltzen has no guts, and you need that in a fullback.

Teddy has shown more heart/guts/commitment than any other fb we've had for some time, and that's something u can't teach. The rest will come as his game developes with experience & i think he should remain part of the new brigade of juniors that we build our team around, i.e. a backline something like this…

1\. Teddy
2\. Koro/richards
3\. Lawrence
4\. Simona
5\. Nofo

You've got to remember he's only young, has come back from a major injury & has also had other niggling injuries this year. I'm happy for him to stay in 1st's but also wouldn't be against him having a bit of a break in NSW cup. Potter had a bit of a rotation policy with our young forwards so I can't see why it wouldn't work with teddy, i.e. teddy back to NSW cup, Simona to fb, koro back on the wing, etc.

Tedesco needs to develop his passing game if he is going to be our fullback and we're going to use block plays with sweeping fullbacks. At the moment it's quite clear he's a running fullback and there aren't too many fullbacks who are solely running fullbacks that get a long career in first grade.

Who said he doesn't have a passing game?
Maybe he has been told not to pass and to just run
It's kind of how you bring 20 year old kids through , you only give them one or two things to concentrate on at a time
