Biography

Hard-working Queensland forward's sole Test appearance was in Australia’s 19-12 loss to NZ while playing for Brisbane Souths in 1983. Tessmann played in Queensland’s victorious State of Origin side that year and his success at international level earned him a contract with Easts in 1985. He was a representative in the Oceania side that played in France in 1984 but his move to Sydney was short-lived. Tessmann returned to Brisbane in 1988 to play for the Broncos in the club’s debut season.
