Tedesco fullback

[MacDougall]

Seeing as Hayne is the incumbent centre and Stewart and Dugan are out, am I crazy bias in thinking that Tedesco is actually a damn good shot at snaking that fullback jersey in the form he's in? The hype is stepping right up and he's living up to it too.

 

[soc123_au]

Let's not ruin another one. He certainly looks the goods though. I would like to see him keep improving for another season & he can stake his claim next year.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Reckon Hayne would go back with Jennings and Morris in the centres but he's pretty dam close.

That city jersey last year looking justified now.

 

[MacDougall]

I mean. I would probably not pick him if I wasn't wearing my Tigers jersey but I actually think he's gonna get Dugan'd into the jersey off the back of media hype is more my point.

 

[DJShaksta]

Too early.
Hayne or Dugan.

 

[magpie4ever]

At least two years away.

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

I want to see him have a full season first. Both him and Brooks look like two absolute gems, but let's not ruin either.

 

[some11]

Too early, plus the Tigers will need him over the Origin period.

 

[MacDougall]

At least two years away.

He's as far into his career as Dugan was when he played Origin and *Tigers glasses on* he's better than Dugan.

 

[T.T]

how can blooding a young player in origin ruin them.. ridiculous thinking which needs to be changed

just because some players cant cope under high pressure does not mean origin ruins all young players

 

[natheel]

maybe even he could debut on the wing. Like Hayne he seems versatile. I'd still be giving Hayne his shot at fullback. Tedesco on the wing.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Not YET

 

[nick87]

This is a piss take, surely?

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Let's wait and see how he handles the rest of the year and the opening rounds of next year.

But he is on his way.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

lmao he's played a few good games,was useless last season.

 

[Ladmate]

lmao he's played a few good games,was useless last season.

He was the Tigers best player to close out the year, he started off slow because he was still recovering for the ACL.

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

Tabasco is so hot right now.

 

[lockyno1]

Not yet, a few would be ahead. 2 games in QLD- they won't go the risky option, not if you are changing the halves! That is almost giving the series away.

 

[BennyV]

On the wing for sure. Lets face it, outside of Brett Morris how many reliable wingers do we have? Start him now on the wing (left wing) and hell do his job as well as get experience for when he eventually takes the fullback position. I'd go with:

1. Dugan (assuming he gets back to full strength well, can't beat his kick returns and good backing up)
2. Tedesco
3. Jennings (needs a decent half to get him some good space)
4. Hayne (was a revelation in the WC at centre, formed a great combo with BMoz)
5. Morris

With no Hodges this year, NSW definitely has a chance to win the battle of the backline. Just need halves that can create the opportunities for them, and, you know, not kick for themselves when we have a 5 man overlap...

 

[timka4]

I'd be happy with that backline.
