NSW Blues fullback James Tedesco has declared he can use the current State of Origin series as a stepping stone towards staking a claim to be the world's best fullback in the near future.
Tedesco may be looking for a confidence boost coming from the struggling Wests Tigers into a star‑studded NSW Origin team but confidence does not look to be a massive issue as it is for the 25‑year‑old Camden product as he heads into his second Origin game.
Tedesco said that his aspiration at the start of the year was to be the world's best fullback.
Tedesco admitted he had been concerned that the Tigers' recent form may have impacted on him potentially retaining his Blues jersey after a winning start in Game Three last year.
The State of Origin Game 1 is tomorrow night at 9.50pm at Suncorp Stadium.
