Teddy wins the 2025 Dally M Medal
James Tedesco led the Sydney Roosters after major losses in experience and secured captain and fullback honors, polling 67 points to win by a record 22-point margin.
- On Wednesday James Tedesco, Sydney Roosters fullback and captain, won the Dally M Medal for a second time, finishing 22 points clear of his nearest rival at Randwick Racecourse.
- Dropped last year, Tedesco bounced back by earning a Kangaroos recall this year and leading the Sydney Roosters into the finals despite losing nearly 1,000 games of NRL experience.
- Vote tallies show Tedesco polled 67 points, Nathan Cleary had 45, and Isaiya Katoa and Payne Haas 44; with six points per match, Tedesco's lead was the largest since 2015.
- The gala named Tedesco captain and fullback of the year, while Robert Toia was crowned Rookie of the Year and Ethan Strange earned five-eighth honours.
- Durability and consistent output positioned him as the frontrunner, as Tedesco played every game for the Sydney Roosters, which he said probably helped and avoided adding to his 24 career appearances for the Blues.
