James Tedesco Won't Play Again Before Origin

Ruled out


1 July 2017

Tigers coach Ivan Cleary has revealed that James Tedesco won't play for the club again this weekend, as the star fullback continues to battle an ankle injury.

He injured himself in Origin II while celebrating Mitchell Pearce's try, and won't play a game until the next bout of the series decider as the Tigers have a bye next weekend.

Malakai Watene-Zelezniak will move to the wing, with Kevin Naiqama slotting in at fullback for Tedesco's absence.
