We had a conversation when Tom came to town recently and he made it clear he wanted to play some more football because he progresses any further (with a decision on his future). We’re all sitting back and looking at some options as a recruitment team. With Jake Clifford leaving, there is a halfback spot open and we are trying to find our identity as a team and our style of footy." “Whoever comes into the team has to fit that identity and complement what we already have here. I’ve only seen Tom from afar, but he played first grade at a young age so he has to have some sort of ability. He competes well and has a sound kicking game and I like the way he organises and directs the team around the park. I found him to be a really pleasant kid when we met. He understood the game and what his strengths and weaknesses are ... he will only get better.” [ATTACH type="full" alt="H11050.jpg"]11823[/ATTACH] [I]Cowboys still trying to find their identity Dearden’s manager[B] Sam Ayoub[/B] said:[/I] “Rushing into a new contract at this point in time is not a smart thing to do. Tom has no shortage of interest but it‘s important to take the pressure off him. Our thought process is let’s give it five or six weeks, then we will look at his situation. In the meantime, I want Tom to focus on his footy — I am confident he can fight his way back to play NRL.” McHunt[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
