Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3590850, member: 1899"] In fairness to Seibold, Dearden had already been promoted to the NRL squad under Bennett. It was a really strange inclusion as well. It was the end of 2018 and every NRL side had named their 24 man squad, except for the Broncos who only announced 23. It led to some confusion until other sections of the media had leaked Dearden's inclusion. The alleged reason why Dearden was removed from the official list was that he was still under 18 and couldn't officially be recognised as a member of the squad. Then as soon as March rolled around and he celebrated his birthday he popped up on the roster. Outside of his age, the other reason why it was less than ideal is because Tom had spent a chunk of the pre-season in the UK on tour with the schoolboys side and his transition into the NRL squad had to be delicately handled. Then to make situation more perculiar, he inherited a squad without an NRL halfback. Then again, Melbourne seemed to manage without one. [/QUOTE]
