TEDDY EARMARKS FUTURE NO.1
Dally M Winner James Tedesco is technically a free agent with his current Roosters’ deal set to run out at the end of this year.
Although Tedesco didn’t ink an extension with the club before the November 1 transfer deadline, it’s expected the veteran fullback will sign a new deal at some stage.
While it isn’t known how many more seasons the 32-year-old will lace the boots up for, the fullback is looking ahead, endorsing a Roosters young gun as his potential replacement.
Teen talent Rex Bassingthwaighte is a dual sport star who is set to join the Roosters’ top 30 squad in 2027.
Impressively, Bassingthwaighte has represented the Wallabies’ under 18s and has a Roosters’ Harold Matthews Cup (u17s) Player of the Year on his CV.
Tedesco sung the praises of the 17-year-old Bassingthwaighte, who is set to train with the Roosters this pre-season.
“He trained with us in the pre-season last year. We got along really well. He’s an exciting young talent,” Tedesco told Zero Tackle.
“He’s fast, agile, got good hands, and I think he’s going to be a real talent.
“He can fit in anywhere in the backs to sort of start off his career, but fullback definitely for the future.”
