Queensland U18 last year. Fifita was captain and Dearden in the halves.
Queensland 16 Dearden missed out in 2016 and Fifita missed out 2017 so they missed each other there.

He's only been on the left at Wynnum.

I think the timing of his debut may prove to be a master stroke by Siebs. The Souffs coaching staff will have minimal information and minimal time to workout Tommy's weaknesses (if he has any).
Hope the kid slept well and absolutely kills it tonight.
Rock on Tommy!

Is this fact or are you just fairly sure?

It's not like Deardon is a blow in... he's been on the Broncos radar since Bennett came back in 2015, probably even before that.
I'm sure he would've gone down to see him play a few times and probably got tips from his retention team and junior development teams on what he brings to a footy team.

Fairly sure. He would have known about him last year when he was coach here.

Very few surprises anymore in football. Kurt Richards was on Bennett's staff last year and is the ISC man to Seibold and is the Queensland U18 coach.
Dearden did emerging camps for U16 and U18- Bennett runs them.
Bennett watches a lot of MM and ISC.
Bennett was part of the retention committee.
Bennett would still watch ISC on Fox and have connections everywhere.
Just take this forum as an example, how many people have watched his ISC games? Be lucky to be five, his MM games would be even less but everyone now has seen footage, heard reviews, read details and seen stats- that's with no effort at all.
Add in JD too who has plenty of ISC connections access to footage and contacts.

So, what did we all think of his debut?
I thought he went well and didnt look out of place at all, actually underplaying his hand.

Tried his guts out. More than I can say for the majority of the team.

Felt sorry for the kid, cringed every time a Burgii ran his way.

The more he got involved, the better we looked.
Didn't shirk his duties defensively and was willing to take on the line and take a shot while trying to get something off.
Let him grow, hes our long term 7.
