“Look at her smiling 😭❤️ We love you our little Rosie girl xxx,” a friend said.

Tedesco, who also captains the NSW Blues and Australia, endured a disappointing end to his season as the Roosters suffered a 18-13 semi-final loss to the Melbourne Storm in week two of the finals series.
The 30-year-old is expected to get picked in the Kangaroos team for the end of season Pacific Championships as Australia take on Samoa and New Zealand.
