After claiming the Red Rooster Members' Player of the Year award earlier in the night, Tedesco was brought up to the stage once again to claim the Jack Gibson Medal as Roosters Player of the Year.
In doing so, he became the first player in Club history to be awarded the coveted prize for a fifth time, eclipsing legend Craig Fitzgibbon with his fifth consecutive medal in tow.
It capped off yet another stellar season in the Red, White and Blue for Tedesco, which saw him claim a host of other awards including the Brad Fittler Medal and the RLPA Players' Champion.
