In a shocking turn of events, Sydney Roosters captain James Tedesco delivered a scathing speech that left head coach Trent Robinson visibly embarrassed following the club’s decision to terminate his contract. The unexpected move has sent shockwaves through the NRL community, with Tedesco not holding back his thoughts on how he was treated by the club.
During a press conference held shortly after the announcement, Tedesco addressed the media with a mixture of disappointment and defiance.
“I gave my heart and soul to this club. For years, I bled for the Roosters, fought through injuries, and put everything on the line to bring success. And this is how they repay me?” he said, his voice filled with emotion. “To be cast aside like an old pair of boots, without proper discussion, without respect—it’s disgraceful.”
Tedesco, who has been a pivotal figure for the Roosters since joining in 2018, further questioned the leadership at the club.
“I’ve had nothing but respect for Trent Robinson and the coaching staff, but the way this has been handled is nothing short of embarrassing. You claim to be a club that values loyalty, but when push comes to shove, you throw your own players under the bus,” he continued.
The veteran fullback also made it clear that he wouldn’t be going quietly.
“I’ll find a new team, and when I do, I promise you, I will prove every single one of you wrong. I won’t let this define me, but I’ll make sure the Roosters regret this decision every time I step onto that field.”
Following his remarks, coach Robinson appeared visibly uncomfortable and declined to respond to Tedesco’s accusations. The Roosters organization has yet to provide an official statement regarding the situation, but the backlash from fans has been swift.
As the dust settles on this controversy, the question remains: What’s next for James Tedesco, and how will the Roosters recover from the fallout of this shocking decision?
