Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3251747, member: 9052"] As mentioned I would've been happy to invest in Walsh... he looks quality, and I think he takes the fullback spot as early as next year. I think investing in Dearden is a higher risk. It doesn't seem like he is improving a whole lot at this stage and needs a full year in ISC, but that didn't seem like it was going to happen here, because the quality just isn't here to be legitimately in front of him If Cows spending means they lose Drinkwater then he ain't getting a season in ISC up there either. I've said that Dearden looks like BHunt lite... he looks like he can bust the line and stand in tackles for offloads, but unlike BHunt I've yet to see the break away speed that turns linebreaks into tries. BHunt also has some vision and passing to go with his strong running game, I've yet to see that from Dearden either. Potentially we haven't provided enough support around him to showcase that, but I've seen instances in the last couple weeks where the play has opened up in front of him and he's made the wrong decision. To me he's still a few years away from being a full fledged halfback... so by the time that happens he's probably back up for contract negotiations. [/QUOTE]
