This week, ahead of Tedesco taking the field for the Roosters in his 200th NRL game on Saturday night at the SCG, Mick Potter said he is grateful to have had the chance to coach the livewire No.1 and praised the player he has become.
“He does everything for the Roosters, he’s everywhere isn’t he? He’s great, a great player and I love watching him,” Potter said.
I’m really happy that I had some involvement with him as a young guy. He’s just phenomenal, I can’t compliment the guy enough.While there was no guarantee that the 2012 ACL tear, and the fractured patella which followed in 2014, wouldn’t hold Tedesco back from fulfilling his potential, Potter, who is currently the interim coach of the Bulldogs, said it was always clear he had the right mindset to overcome any physical challenges.
“What he has shown over the last 199 games is his competitiveness and an attitude to want to win,” Blair told NRL.com.
