Roosters skipper James Tedesco has revealed the addition of former Wallabies coach Michael Cheika to the club’s coaching staff is going to show favourable results.

Cheika is a coaching specialist and forwards coach on Trent Robinson’s staff and brings a wealth of experience in high-level setups.

In addition to the Wallabies, Cheika has also coached the Argentinian national team in rugby union as well as a stint as the coach of the Lebanon rugby league side.

Tedesco says Cheika has wasted no time making an influence on the talented squad.

He’s running the defensive part with the middle forwards, and the attack and defence (in the forwards),” Tedesco said on SEN.

“He’s obviously had a lot of experience internationally coaching rugby and different teams but I think his involvement will definitely be motivational.

“I think he’s still been learning the ins and outs of the details of rugby league but I think his motivation and his intensity and how he speaks to us, especially in the tackling and the wrestling, that’s been a real highlight. That’s going to show its teeth soon really, I think.”

The Roosters fullback also spoke on the influence flashy new recruits Reece Robson and Daly Cherry-Evans will have on the spine.

“They’re going to be unreal,” Tedesco said.

“I think the big thing for me that’s added a lot of value is just their leadership.

“Obviously, Cherry’s been a captain and leader for a long time now… and then Reece at nine, touching the ball every tackle, he’s got to be in control of that.

“Their clear communication (and) leadership’s been a real highlight and a benefit for me.”
