The iconic leader, who has worn the Roosters jersey with pride for over a decade, addressed teammates and club officials in an emotional closed-door meeting before the news quickly spread across social media and the rugby league world.
According to sources close to the club, Tedesco revealed that he will step down as Roosters captain at the end of the season, bringing an end to one of the most respected leadership eras in the club’s modern history.
