Would Tedesco Ever Come Back

[GNR4LIFE]

I just posed this question in the signings thread, but thought it deserved it’s own discussion. What would it take to get Tedesco back here in 2022? Is it possible? It sounds crazy on the surface to entertain such a theory, but premiership after premiership, surely that blunts the hunger and makes you want to set new challenges. By 2022, surely it won’t be about money. He’ll earn a truckload wherever he is. Could he do a LeBron and come back to and try to win one here?

What are people’s thoughts?

Roosters will be giving him so many perks, we can't compete on sheer salary cap alone. He'd have to have a personality change and have the goal of helping a struggling club develop into a successful one.

He didn't have it before, but who knows, his priorities might change one day.

 

[TopTiger]

As much as I love the idea I can't see Teddy returning to the Tigers. The Roosters will offer him as much as it takes to keep him plus will provide him with further off field incentives now and post football. I don't believe, unlike Farah & Marshall that he was a Tiger at heart and would return given he has seen first hand how the Roosters operate and it would take a miracle to entice him away from Bondi now.

If you put yourself in his boots for just a second for a moment , why would he .....

He has seen on multiple occasions what our fans are like when he makes what he thinks is the best decision for his career

I’m sure he’d give as much consideration about what the fans think as I give to the ants running around on the footpath on my morning walk.

 

[jrtiger]

don't think we'll see him here until incredibly late in his career, say 30 or 31, if at all sadly.

He cut off social media after the Canberra situation ......it had an effect

Don't shoot the messenger

Maybe it's our mentality ...when an opposing EPL side comes with a ex player who put in and performed well for a club ...he is given a round of applause and shown respect

 

[Newtown]

Let it be. No chance.

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

IMHO, it depends, if the WT play finals in 2020, and 2021, we have a good, dominant forwards and offer competitive money who knows.
ATM we cannot meet any of those conditions.

Tedesco gets the reception he gets because of the way he left. Strung the club along for months with imo no intention of ever staying here. Couldn't even be bothered when voldermort put the deadline down to inform the club he would not be taking up the offer. The club did a lot for Tedesco through those early years, yet as ive said before he barely acknowledges where he came from (except for Camden).
There's not one person on here who wouldn't acknowledge what a fantastic player he is, it's his morals that were questionable. At least he saw some light eventually and got rid of Moses as his manager, although i suspect Uncle Nick may have even played a part in that too.
As for him ever coming back, no i don't believe that would ever cross his mind unless the other 15 clubs all went broke. He is a Rooster for "lyfe".

Well as mentioned in the past I know how often he changed his mind during the Canberra process .....at 1.00 am the night before he decided to sign with Canberra he was signing with the WT's

Again don't shoot the messenger .....I can only go off what his Dad was telling me

 

[Tim Sheens]

No, no and no!

 

[TheDaBoss]

I would have him back

I wouldn't have moses back tho even for a minimum wage

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

He bailed on his "mates" to chase a premiership, with Moses the deal was withdrawn. The behaviour of Tedesco and woods was a shocker at the time.
The guy has not much morals but a great footy player and would have been successful wherever he went.
Dont think he is like Robbie and Benji he doesnt think he owes the tigers anything
Hope he did come back though but really doubt it

 

[Tiger_Steve]

Let it go....
He’s gone
And what sane high level player would want to be part of what we currently offer- call me a realist!

 

[Moh]

Of all the ones that go away none hurt as much as this one.

Just a beast of a player, kidding yourself if you wouldn't take him back. As for the chances of that happening, very slim.

I remember talking to his Uncle when there was some conjecture that he was going to leave, before he even debuted. His Uncle is a massive Tigers fan, but he was telling me even back then that Teddy is not a Tiger and felt no real loyalty to the Tigers. Even back then he was 50/50 whether Teddy would stay.

Teddy has never really been a Tiger and thats OK. He is a Rooster now, seems happy and is playing incredible footy in that system. Zero chance of him returning.

now the question is

Does Cameron Munster feel loyal to storm

 

[teddy23]

Legacy wise, if he comes back to us and makes us a contender that’ll put him in a very strong position to be considered one of the greatest ever tbh

Bit like the Lebron GOAT debate, came back home after winning a few chips at a successful team to a then struggling club and brought them a championship

Would be one of the biggest fairytale storyline’s in Rugby League history, due to his success and our lack of finals appearances in the last decade if we were to win a premiership with him

Financially tho, doesn’t make much sense I’m sure we’ll compete salary cap wise, however those third party agreements can be lethal with the Roosters

Guess it depends on what’s more important for him, legacy or a bit more money..... regardless I have much respect for him as a player and will forever be appreciative for his time that he spent at the club and support his decision and wish him success just not at our expense lol, can never say he didn’t put in 100% effort every time he put that jersey on in which I admire

Makes sense for him to feel that way before he even debuted tbh
