Roosters coach Trent Robinson has defended skipper James Tedesco after the fullback's troubles under the high ball led to two Canberra tries in the
Raiders' 20-18 win on Sunday.
Tedesco was outjumped twice in after two first half bombs from Raiders halfback Jamal Fogarty, with Jack Wighton leaping over the Blues fullback to reign in the kick and score.
Just over 10 minutes later, in-form Raiders fullback Seb Kris jumped over Tedesco and batted a ball back to centre Matt Timoko, who scooped up the ball and ran in under the posts.

The favourite to replace injured Raiders star
It's the most important hamstring in Canberra and the Raiders will be sweating on Josh Papali'i's scans to find out how long he'll be out for.
Papali'i had those scans on Monday afternoon after hurting it just 10 minutes into the Green Machine's 20-18 victory over the Sydney Roosters on Sunday.
The Raiders were expecting to know more on Tuesday, when they'll name their team to face the Gold Coast Titans at Canberra Stadium this Saturday.
'You're not allowed to do that': Baffling bunker call almost cost Raiders
Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart will seek clarification from the NRL over a controversial bunker call to allow a James Tedesco strip.
The call could've proved costly for the Green Machine in their narrow 20-18 victory over the Sydney Roosters at Sydney Football Stadium on Sunday night.
It almost led to a Roosters try out wide, but Raiders winger Albert Hopoate was able to produce a try-saving tackle on Joey Manu.
