NRL superstar James Tedesco will not feature in Thursday’s blockbuster clash in Brisbane after waking up with a temperature.
The Roosters secured a comfortable 28-12 win over cross-town rivals the Rabbitohs on Friday. Tedesco was the standout performer for the victors, managing two line breaks, 314 run metres and a try.“I think it will suit our footy and suit me,” Tedesco said.
“Obviously it’s a lot quicker ruck and less stoppages. Both middles are getting a bit more tired so it opened up a lot more space for me around the ruck. “It’s just more about timing, I think it’s a bit scrappy at the moment with everyone trying to get a bit more space and trying to execute some plays through that.“The off-the-cuff footy can work in these conditions. It was cool, just have to get used to it.”Kayo is your ticket to the 2020 NRL Telstra Premiership. Every game of every round Live & On-Demand with no-ad breaks during play.
Tedesco was awarded the Dally M Medal last year after guiding the Roosters to their second-consecutive NRL premiership.: 1. Jamayne Isaako 2. Corey Oates 3. Jesse Arthars 4. Darius Boyd 5.
