News Roosters baulk at Tedesco request amid Suaalii contract showdown

I didn't say he wasn't talented but he's not worth half of the figures being thrown about for him and he's massively overhyped. He's not a game breaker like Manu or Latrell etc. He's a pretty one dimensional player right now.

I know your basketball knowledge is piss poor but didn’t realise you also knew nothing about footy? Pull your head in Ben. You’re still only in your mid 40s surely alzheimers hasn’t kicked in this badly yet.

Jesus Christ give it is a rest man. Fucking hell. You only make yourself look worse with stupid comments like this.

 

[Chris Harding]

Would love him to leave the chooks and wear dogs colours but a man can only dream

Tedesco wouldn't be available until 2025, and by then he will be 34.

This is the point people are missing lol Teddy will be 34 when his contract is up. There's no way he keeps playing beyond that.

My grandfather died after years of issues with dementia and our club legend Turvey is struggling with this, so it's not something to joke about. Clearly, you need to pull your head in..

‘Hasn’t gone down well’: Roosters baulk at Tedesco request amid Suaalii contract showdown

Staff Writers from Fox Sports

The Roosters face an awkward dilemma with James Tedesco and Joseph Suaalii coming off-contract at the same time, with the club reportedly unhappy with their skipper’s extension requests.

Suaalii recently committed to the Roosters for 2024, with Tedesco also coming off-contract at the end of next season.
The Sydney Morning Herald’s Andrew Webster told SEN radio that the Roosters are unhappy with Tedesco’s management for hounding them for an extension for 2025.

“They’ve got a really interesting situation off the field with Tedesco and Suaalii,” Webster said on SEN 1170 Mornings.

“Joseph Suaalii has triggered his option for 2024 but that means both him and James Tedesco will be coming off contract at the same time.

“James Tedesco’s management have been pushing the Roosters for the last few months to get an extra year on his contract, that hasn’t gone down particularly well with Roosters management.

“Particularly Nick Politis who doesn’t like getting bullied into triggering contracts, particularly when the player is very well paid.”

Tedesco is on $1.1 million a season, while Suaalii will reportedly earn $700,000 in 2024, but he could command a deal of around $1 million annually for 2025 and beyond.

Webster believes the Roosters could be forced to choose between Tedesco, who turns 32 in 2025 and the younger Suaalii, who will be just 21 that same year with the bulk of his career still ahead of him.

Joseph Suaalii comes off-contract at the same time as Tedesco.

“The salary cap makes clubs work in advance about what their future is going to look like, but this is a very tricky one,” Webster said.

“They’ve got arguably the best fullback in the game, in James Tedesco and arguably the best future fullback in the game in Joseph Suaalii.

“If they get forced to choose in the next year it’s going to be a very tricky one for the club to handle.”

Guaranteed Tedesco will finish with the rosters, he'll retire once his contract is up and stay on with the rorters delivering brown paper bags to the players Politis wants.

 

[Mackdoggies]

Suaali already activated his clause for 2024 so he can't sign until Nov 2023 with union for the 2025 season

Don’t know if that rule applies to other codes, only NRL contracts…

 

[HD and Ink]

I’m sure the roosters can fit them both under their salary cap, I

Yeah man not the point. It's the attitude either him or his manager has. If he's not patient to pay the dues like most other blokes and thinks if I dont get this I walk.....see ya.

Done that many times at dealers buying a 2nd hand bike. You guys need my business I can go another week or month without a bike.......just kinda comparing.

 

[Bulldog1966]

Suaalii is the most overrated player in the comp. I don't get why so many slurp over him..

100% agree..over and above this fact I also dont like the fkr lol.

As for Teddy and someone mentioning we will have him, yes but only if he rocks up next month.As much as i rate the bloke 2025 is a long way away and he will be 32 I think.

It looks that way, his manager did say he is a better fullback than Teddy, which was very disrespectful, his player has not achieved an iota of what Teddy has achieved.
