The only player with stats like Slater is Trbojevic and that's a great effort for a young guy ( 21 ) with room for improvement. If he can get those silly mistakes out of his game he'll leave the others in his dust like Slater has for many years.
I think people like Tedesco because he's such a dynamo on the field and so hard to stop but he's actually well behind Slater and Trbojevic in the stats that really count.
Slater 21 games, 11 tries, 20 try assists, 19 line breaks and a great kicking game.
Trbojevic 23 games, 12 tries, 21 try assists, 24 line breaks and his kicking game improving.
Tedesco 21 games, 5 tries, 8 try assists, 14 line breaks and an OK kicking game.
Tedesco leads the way in tackle breaks but Trbojevic actually topped the league for runs and metres gained for a FB in 2017, he's also faster than Teddy.
Trbojevic is only 21 and plays in a very ordinary team currently but still posts stats nearly equal to Slater.
I expect him to be first choice FB in our rep teams in the very near future.
