James Tedescos father slams critics targeting sons poor form

[zac]

there are some people on here who know their footy but multiple threads on here doesn't prove much

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

Drew Hutchison stood up during the Roosters injury crisis. He and the departed Adam Keighran were almost the last men standing during that time.

Johnny, you're back. You started this thread.

What part of Teddy's job isn't he doing to the best of his ability?

[SamKerrSimp]

Teddy has operated at a level few have ever achieved in the game and he continues to play well for us and NSW, but makes the odd error or doesn't win a game on his own anymore and he is apparently finished.

Hutch is not usually attacked personally, not by me at least. It's more his role out of position in the team. Nobody disputes his effort, although he will have less credit in the proverbial bank so to speak given his lack of ability when compared to Teddy. You can pretend it doesn't matter but indeed it does given we are talking about elite sport.

Some people are genuinely calling for our captain and club legend to be moved on or changed positions after 3-4 average games, whilst ignoring 4-5 outstanding seasons. That is the difference.

Drew Hutchison and Trent Robinson are attacked by fans on a personal level daily don’t pretend that’s not the case. The level of talent they have should not dictate the abuse they receive, Drew is not deserving of abuse just because he is not as good as James Tedesco. Criticism is not abuse either and what goes on with the fans this season is nothing short of abuse.

Trent Robinson is regularly abused on this website and he has overseen over greatest period of success than any of us have seen in our life time. None of those three deserve to be abused at all

All 100% correct.

Good post.

[Ankle Boots]

Lets hope Teddy gets plenty of respect after tonight. Hoping he kills it and gets his mojo back..

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Again NSW are dominanting field possession but can't convert that into points. Blame the playmakers. Then on cue Qld score outta nothing. Story of the series

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Why is Crichton goal kicking instead of Moses?

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

I don't like the guy but.... Cody Wanka is tearing up that left side.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

What a run and pass from Teddy to set up that try!

[Waylander]

235m for Teddy. Looked closer to his old self, but still not completely back yet.

Not completely back to his best but much better. Played well. Lets hope that sparks something with the Roosters..

I agree with you on Drew, but just to clarify, do you think Robbo has had a good coaching year?

[Johnny73]

Tedesco played like a man standing under the gallows. Whatever was said to him worked.

[Bruce Pickett]

Good game from him last night. 7.5/10. Maybe 8. He missed a tackle as last line.

I wouldn't condone anybody getting personally attacked on this or any forum, I'm not pretending they don't receive criticism. I think highlighting a players limited ability in an elite sport is not personal abuse but rather valid criticism. I also think highlighting errors made by our coach, who is also well paid and involved in elite sport, is not personal abuse but valid criticism. Attacking someone's family, threats of violence, etc. That's when its not on and when you can call it personal. Apart from a very small group of nupties, that doesn't happen on here.

I will continue to be critical of what I as a fan deem bad coaching decisions and poor performances by well paid players in elite sport. It's what happens when supporting a professional sport and even more so when you frequent a forum dedicated to a team.

As far as comparing Teddy's critics with Hutch's critics, whether you like to admit it or not, ability and profile is always relevant in an elite profession where performance is the primary indicator. Every man is equal in life which is why Hutch should never be subject to personal abuse more than anyone else, but not every player is equal in sport and Hutch and Teddy are certainly not equals.
