The Tedesco’s got married in January this year and announced Maria was expecting in April.

Tedesco’s NRL campaign ended when the Roosters were knocked out of the finals by the Melbourne Storm in the semi-finals.

The two-time premiership winner has been backed by Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga to start at fullback for Australia in the upcoming Tri-Nations series against New Zealand and Samoa.

Tedesco was part of Australia’s World Cup winning side last year, but faces competition for the No. 1 jersey from the likes of Kalyn Ponga, Reece Walsh and Dylan Edwards.
