In that case you will have to be directed to the darkened room at the BHQ BBQ, good luck with that :-)

Unless Walker is touring other clubs while the Roosters are trying to extend him is there a point to bringing him up?

Mmm, dunno about that! Milford chooses not to ask for credit as refusal may offend! By that I mean he's not out asking for interested bids because he knows there'll be none@ $1,000,000 p/a. Milford is here because he wants to play comfortable football.

Nothing tough about two pensioners punching on! Maybe it will be tough stuff in the youngsters divisions but in the over 60s, nah.
He has no YouTube highlights video - how could I possibly refute such hard hitting evidence...
Seeing his NRL career is so young, let’s go with what he achieved prior. ARL Schoolboy Cup player of the tournament in 2018. QLD U16 and U18, as well as U18 Australian player.
Just because not every player has bling in their ears, is insta famous and has YouTube videos with gangsta music playing over the top, doesn’t mean they aren’t skilled.
After all, at the same age, Cronk was an absolute nobody and the Dogs had told JT he’d never make it.

Mate, I didn’t accuse you of anything. You literally didn’t answer the question until the post I am quoting here, so don’t try and deflect that by shifting the focus of the discussion.
And you’re right, no one has implicitly written him off, but they don’t really need to. Given the myriad of contributing factors already outlined ad-nauseam in this thread, along with the fact other players have been worse yet escape any such criticism; how anyone could say he’s been “bang average since he started” (which is where this entire conversation began) and consider that to be fair and reasonable criticism is beyond me.
And FTR; the irony in your first sentence is that something I’ve literally never said is that Dearden is the next big thing. Indeed, I’m reserving my judgement until he’s had time to prove one way or another. And to double-down, I also haven’t said anything, not one word, about the Broncos unearthing a star or their failed recruitment, so I’m really not sure where that came from

Blokes who have been average don’t have highlight reels though hey. Because if they had done something exceptional some prick would have made one.

At least he’s consistent.Are they fighting words?!?! Who am I kidding, I win all my fights by 100m
I can’t be bothered going back into the annals, but I know for a fact old mate @broncsgoat has been sinking the boot into Dearden since he made his debut. Hasn’t had a good word to say about him, constantly critical.
I just fail to see how anyone can declare him good, bad or indifferent after 17 games, yet in the same breath and during literally the same period of time, excuse others poor form, laying it squarely at the feet of the coach.
As far as I am concerned, if he looks shit in the environment he’s been in, I am willing to give him time to prove otherwise in a better environment. Similarly, if he looked a world beater after 17 games in the Storm or Roosters environment, I wouldn’t be singing from the rooftops that he was a future immortal.
It’s just way too early to know either way.

I understand that view but utterly reject it! You add too much significance to the role(s)
Dearden is a professional rugby league player. He is/was contracted for a specific role, that is, to play the game to the best of his abilities.
If another employer wishes Dearden played for them and offers a competitive wage then it's none of our business. Dearden doesn't owe us anything, he's doing his job just like we all do. Whether he's played 1/2 a game or 375 games, as long as he has played to the best of his ability when he worked for us.
