I completely agree.

Gettinf rid of a legendary player like Tedesco, for a kid that MAY turn out to be great, is a dumb move.

At this stage, the kid should stay, and learn, from Tedesco.
I wouldn't be playing it out in the media like his people are but I also wouldn't be sticking around at a big discount to learn from other players, no matter how good they are. I think that aspect is overrated and you mostly educate yourself. Or not.

Experience is never over-rated, in my opinion; it can mean the difference between making a game-winning call, and a bone-headed play.

Talent only gets you so far, imo.

Honestly, they'd be dumb to move Teddy for Sua'ali'i - how many clutch plays does Tedesco make for them every week?

Against Melbourne, he saved their bacon at least 3 times.

WARNING - UNPOPULAR OPINION INCOMING

I don't see why people blow their loads of Sua'ali'i - there is clearly talent there, but all this talk about pushing Tedesco out for him is lunacy.

And if the 18-yeqr old can't wait a year or two to learn from a great rugby league fullback, then his attitude sucks.


let me know if the warning part of your post works.

I Can use it next time I want to be critical of someone within a 7 minute radius to parramatta.

I agree but he's going to get experience wherever he is. And he could replicate a lot of that by studying games. It may not be quite as good but probably good enough. Tedesco himself came from the Tigers yet was immediately a 'better' player when he moved to the Chooks.

Don’t think either will leave, after all Sualii was offered more money at South’s, but the telling factor was Nick Politis driving out west to his home at Glenmoore Park to sit down with his parents and the deal was done.

I like Liam Martin as a player, very solid first grader. Got found out a bit in origin but no shame in that, not everyone performs on that stage.... Would defend better than Ice on an edge, but doesn't bring the damaging runs Ice does... Pro's and cons...
What a player! If you are anyone is looking for a leader it would be him. But I reckon he would go to the dogs with Ciraldo

Unpopular opinion here, but...

"He'll be the Michael Jordan of the NRL; no player has ever had the same impact as Joseph in his 18 games."


What a load of bollocks - Hayne made his debut at 17, and played for the Prime Minister's 13 later that year, and then played Origin, and for Australia, the year after.

As good as Sua'ali'i can become, to claim he's the greatest ever at 18 is just stupid.

Wasn’t Izzy Folau playing for Australia at 18?
He was pretty f**king good as well.
