Star fullback James Tedesco has returned to training with Wests Tigers two and a half weeks after suffering a broken jaw.

However Tedesco is yet to resume contact work and halfback Luke Brooks says he is no chance of playing in the ninth-placed Tigers’ NRL final round clash with Canberra at Leichhardt Oval on Sunday.

It’s understood he is one to two weeks away from being able to play and so faces a nervous wait to see if his team makes the finals in the meantime.
