Sounds like Dearden wont be rushed judging by Seibolds media conments. Dont disagree with you bit this is the squad Wayne built with 2 running halves.

If you are good enough you are ready! Do something! O’Sullivan would be fine and he’s a bit more mature.

Only one ever has.

Fullback is a specialist position totally unlike 5/8 eg Eadie, Stewart, Brentnall, langlands, fairfax, Colin Scott, simms, Johnston, Slater etc only ever played fullback.

Not even the Little Master tried to make himself into something he wasn't.

Sorry Mr Spock but that is not quite true. Graeme Langlands played quite a bit of football in the centres including in finals games and in Tests for Australia (e.g. he played all 5 tests of the 1963-64 Kangaroo Tour in the centres as Ken Thornett was the fullback).

I agree with you though that fullback is a specialist position and most players do not try and transition from being one to being a five eight or halfback. Look at Kalyn Ponga as an example where it didn't work either.

Didn't know that about langlands.

That was before I was born.
