Roosters superstar James Tedesco has officially severed ties with Isaac Moses after paying more than $30,000 to cut a settlement deal with his former agent.

Tedesco hasn’t allowed the messy divorce, which was settled prior to his departure for the World Club Challenge, to affect his performance. The former Tigers fullback has been dealing with the issue for most of last year but has still emerged as arguably the best player in the world.

Tedesco sided with Moses’ former business partner, "footy whisperer" Joe Wehbe, after the pair fell out in a stoush that is now before the Supreme Court. In a bid to minimise any fallout, the Roosters held the management fees Tedesco owed to Moses in a trust account. They were released after the parties came to a confidential severance arrangement a fortnight ago.

Tedesco’s stocks have risen during the dispute. The 27-year-old earned the Wally Lewis medal for his role in NSW’s victorious State of Origin campaign, the Dally M player of the year gong en route to his second successive premiership win at the Roosters and capped it off with Kangaroos selection and the Jack Gibson medal as his club’s best player.
