Did anyone watch him on the Sunday footy show last week? They were previewing the upcoming souths game & mentioned how Teddy would probably be relieved that inglis wasn't playing because of how he tageted him in the game earlier in the year. Teddy's reaction was classic, just said something like he wasn't aware until after the game that inglis wanted a piece of him so badly. I didn't find this arrogant but more a sign of his self-belief & eagerness for a challenge even when one of the "greats" has it in for him.
Keep it up Teddy, doing us proud!

The most impressive thing for me were the two one on one tackles on Burgess when he broke through
Was I upset when he decided to leave ?? Yes for the WT's , but was happy that he would of set himself up well for the rest of his life
Was even happier when he finally got some of the upgrade he was wanting

This forum is part of the "real life" that James was living at the time, with him and the club only too aware of the vitriol aimed at him, here and elsewhere on social media. I for one was embarrassed by the Tede$co rubbish on here and the fact that fellow moderators allowed the change by one of their number to persist made it worse.
Frustration on the spur of the moment is one thing, but carrying on for weeks, or allowing it is another matter altogether. Luckily he was injured, for which he was copping it as well, as he had plenty of time to dig all the knives out of his back.

I have no issues with going off my nut when he was leaving and being completely stoked that he stayed.
Its called being a Tigers supporter. Anyone stating that I should just accept a player like Tedesco leaving who is a great player just starting to come good who has come up through the juniors in my opinion has their head screwed on a little funny.

I don't understand why we weren't allowed to be angry with Teddy, and then forgive him when he made the right decision.
Tedesco deserved the flak he copped when he accepted the Raiders offer, after the opportunities the tigers gave him in first grade, stuck with him after years of injury and had obvious plans to make him an integral part of their long-term plans, Teddy turned around and signs for a team with no real aspirations, solely for the money. That's business but it's very close to spitting in the Tigers' collective face after all the money and effort they'd put into him. I'd be pretty upset.
But then Teddy turned around again, made the right decision and stayed. What are fans supposed to do then? Stay angry?

Problem with what happened with Tedesco gate was people were getting angry at the wrong people
It was the club that didn't meet his offer until almost 12 months after they started negotiations
As Farah said , how this club almost let him go was ludicrous and said more about the club than it did Tedesco

Considering his age, lack of current rep duties etc, I think I'd take him over any other fullback in the comp.

Agree with you happy - more to do with the club than Teddy.
Must admit I submitted a post that was derogatory - sent an email quickly to Kul to withdraw it, luckily it was before it was posted. I wasn't very complimentary to say the least but regretted it as soon as I hit submit.
I think we were all hurt that he was going but I and probably a lot of people didn't stop and think that it was the club rather than him. We found out later that he didn't want to go and thought the club didn't want him. Fortunately it was sorted, after Farah explained to us I realised it was not he money but a valid reason. I apologise to Teddy for the post that was not posted and am so glad you stayed.
If we didn't care about him. I don't think anyone would have been upset that he may have gone.
He didn't go - we are all glad he didn't. Let's move on and enjoy this future champions work.

That is the big difference Russell, spur of the moment decision rather than the protracted derision that took place. The subsequent retraction on your part is good to hear of. Shameful that many others did not do similarly.
