Tedesco is cock-a-hoop

JAMES Tedesco has declared he’s finally found his feet at the Sydney Roosters as he prepares for a shootout for the NSW No.1 jumper.

Ahead of the final NRL round before teams are announced for State of Origin I, Tedesco and Manly star Tom Trbojevic are considered neck and neck for the Blues’ fullback role.

Tedesco believes that after an early learning curve, the Roosters are now playing to his strengths, which spells trouble for the Titans in Gosford on Saturday.

Coach Trent Robinson is increasingly using Tedesco to sniff around the ruck, something he did with success in his six years at the Wests Tigers.
