Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3078867, member: 9326"] We honestly should be in no rush with Dearden. He's really, really young and in reality to expect him to go from MM Cup to the NRL full time with only a handful of Queensland Cup games in between is a monumental ask. He pulled us out of a real hole last season but I think we'd be doing everyone involved a favour if we gave him the breathing space to spend a full season in Queensland Cup to develop himself while we sort out the rest of our squad and in another season's time he might be banging down the door to be picked, at which point we could move a seasoned player like Sezer on to make way for him. If we choose to play him as our starting Halfback next season without having some insurance to protect that risk, I think it would be suicidal. Aside from the potential for his form to not be good enough over an extended period, you have a teenager who may find the physical aspects of week to week NRL too much as well. The warning signs are already there this year that his body could use some more conditioning to get him up to speed. [/QUOTE]
