In all, Walker set up two tries while scoring a match-winning four-pointer of his own in the space of seven minutes, leading Tedesco to tell reporters post-game that it was the perfect way to respond to trash talk coming from the other side of the field.<\/p>\n
"Townsend was giving it to him, but cop that Townsend," Tedesco said, per NRL.com.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"He showed him how to play footy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
"They were going after him but it doesn't faze him if you run over him. He'll still carve you up."<\/p>\n
However, Townsend was less than impress with the claims, taking to Twitter to rubbish Tedesco's suggestions.<\/p>\n
"This is trash from Tedesco," Townsend Tweeted.<\/p>\n
