Let’s be real though, Pearce was never the same caliber player Tedesco is. Pearce was never considered the best in his position,, Cronk was. Whereas Tedesco is the Current Australian/NSW fullback and will probably hold onto it for the next couple of years. Pearce was always a bit of a ratbag, not a great person to build a culture around so when Cronk got brought in no one was really fazed. Probably got the playing group even more confident/excited. But im sure if they forced out Tedesco surely it rubs the playing group the wrong way. I just don’t think the Pearce situation is a great comparison.
But let’s say Tedesco was to get forced out, I think that’s at least a couple of years away as roosters have lost a lot of experience recently.
