Tom Dearden

[Different kind of Rabbit]

I think the essence of RL was established well before total monsters like the Burgess boys became part of the game.
This aspect of the game you are talking about was reasonably when fatigue was a legit part of the sport but it simply is not any more and really never will be again with full time professionalism, wrestling and sport science the way it is.
Every time Dearden has to tackle Burgess, think about the mums that just decided their kid is not playing RL.

If your Mum is going to be able to stop you from playing then you're probably better off in another sport anyway tbh.

Yeah f**king hell, my mum listened to and did everything I said from when I was 5 years old.

Admit it guys you only came to this thread cause you want to put him in your SuperCoach team

Not yet, won't see a price rise until his 3rd game anyway

Yep. Give tevita Harris a few prices rises then cash in

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I just hope they dont burn him by throwing him in too early and letting the media rip him apart (and Sam Burgess!)

I thought Sam was a loveable fair playing kinda guy with impeccable ball handling

He is,
and loves to eat young half backs for dinner.

That's fine but there's already expectations that he's the saviour before he's even ran onto the field

From who, the great minds of LU?

Erm never mind the highlights package that was circling the NRL Facebook page and the channel nein commentators pumping his tyres the last few weeks

Fine, tom dearden will lead the broncos to premiership glory and also debut for QLD this year.

All at the ripe age of 18.

 

[gerg]

He's the next Andrew Johns from what I've seen.

 

[Mr Angry]

This young man will prove a good player.

As if Sam would not run at any half..

Eggs all in the Milford basket.

Reckon the problem is nine away, lettuce leaf attack there, solid but boring, little threat.

Ya nine has to threaten. He does.

And the circle jerk on Fox League last night. lol at Wayne "He's no alfie"

 

[Maroon4life]

You're focusing on the wrong person, Dearden whilst a debutant asks more questions of Milf's game than anyone else, his haters should lap it up if we don't get the win.

On Dearden? He's a kid who was great coming through the grades, that's about it.

 

[Sphagnum]

Never heard of the f**ker

That's the Brisbane halfback curse. Brett Seymour, Peter Wallace and more recently Ben Hunt have had massive expectations.

Ironically, a player like Wallace would be perfect in the team right now.

Lucky we don't have a stupid curse like that at our club

So far he reminds me of Andrew Johns if his mother was drinking while she was pregnant. In other words he reminds me of Matthew Johns.

 

[Alderley Rooster]

Sam Obst Mk 2!!

I think a merger is in order, combined resources of both clubs could make a 3/4 average halfback!
