OFFICIAL Tom Dearden lost to Cowboys

ScreenScreenshot 2021 04 22 at 17 12 35 Broncos NRL Team The Courier Mail


The Cowboys have offered Tommy Dearden a paltry three-year deal worth a mere $1 million sealed with a dubious promise to be mentored by some guy named Jonathon Thurston. According to Dobbo, that works out to be cool $1 million dollars a year, maybe more if you count it in potatoes, but you might want to double check his maths.

Thurston's single premiership pales beside Dearden's current brains trust of Langer & Walters who've each won more premierships than Dobbo can count.

Greedy Cowboys football-operations baron Michael Luck said:


“Now that we’ve got Chad, we haven’t ruled out Tom at all. We would still love to have him here and we believe they could work well together as a halves pairing. He is still coming through and learning the ropes and we think Tom can do a wonderful apprenticeship riding shotgun with Chad and then potentially take over from him and be a long-term playmaker at our club."

“It would be great news if Tom accepts our offer. Tom has shown some things we like, so we would love for him to be here. Tom grew up in Mackay, he was part of our junior academy five or six years ago and then he went to Palm Beach Currumbin (on the Gold Coast) to finish school."

Cowboys looking for a young playmaker

“He has done a great job coming through the ranks during a trying period for the Broncos as a club. I know it’s a big decision from Tom so we will give him time and space. We know he is a wonderfully loyal kid, he has come through the system at the Broncos and if he leaves it’s a big decision for him, so we’re not putting any deadlines on him.”

Let's hear it for Townsville!

Meanwhile local legend Kevin Walters is having none of it:


“Tom is part of our system so at this stage we are not looking outside the circle. We don’t anticipate losing Tom. He has been a good player for us in our systems and he’s still learning the game but we see little bits of improvement in Tom each week and we expect that again tomorrow night from him… no problems there with Tommy."

"We have been through everything with Tommy, he has a nice clear picture in his head about his job in the side and we are confident he can do that job for us (on Friday night) and moving forward as well.”

“If you wear a seven jumper these days you are linked to the Broncos, so that part of it… we are a big club, we are a strong club. It’s great to know other players want to come and play at the Broncos, that’s what it is all about. For us, we have our structures around what we will be doing and won’t be going outside those structures.”

“Adam Reynolds is a good player and there is some interest in him, but we need to tie up Kotoni Staggs first and if and when we do that, we will look at our other scrumbase options."

Mitchell Moses, another rumoured player of interest said:

“I‘d love to stay at the Eels, that’s my main thing, I’ve made that clear to them but that’s up them now if they want to keep me or if my management will sort it all out. When a contract is ready to go my management will let me know.”

“The ultimate goal is to get a premiership. But everyone is different Everyone is in a different situation and different ages, all those types of things. The premiership pact gets tossed around every now and then but nothing in depth. The way footy is at the moment everyone looks after themselves and that‘s how it is.”

Good.

Remember when I got reamed for calling him average last year, I member.
Yes you did, and I must be honest and admit I was one of the reamers.

He honestly hasn’t proved anything yet, but more tellingly, hasn’t shown any development whatsoever. And he may yet kick on, but I can’t say I’m upset to see him go.

You’re still a prick though 🤣🤣.
 
I wouldn’t line their pockets further by buying or reading one. Everyone who writes a book talks about how great they were.
Wonderful things libraries, can read books without buying them. no purchase=no royalties.
 


Shame......

The entitlement here is unbelievable. You get your offer when the coach thinks you have earned one. This kid and his manager can take a walk. This is the real world and just because you have been made out to be the golden boy in the media doesn't make it so. Funny how tonight on 360 the panel are all now saying that they have been told by people with knowledge in the game that Dearden is a mediocre talent and may not amount to much.

That's right the NSW run footy media are all talking up our spuds to try and sway us into paying overs and Pies and co walked into it. Looks like Kev who has been around the media traps is actually taking notes on these blokes and isn't going to be manipulated.

By people with knowledge I assume you mean “anyone who’s watched a game of footy”.
 
So we don't offer someone a contract and suddenly we're the devil? I have no doubt it was clearly communicated to him what was required of him for a contract to be offered. Much like the rest of the players coming off contract this year i.e Milf.

Apples and oranges i know but in 7* games this year he has 1 try assist and one line break and 0 line break assists. His replacement in Tyson Gamble in 4 ISC games has 4 try assists and 4 line break assists. To add to that, in 2019 out of 11 games gamble had 9 try assists. I cant find his stats for his 2018 stats from NSW cup but 2017 he played 20 games with 15 try assists.

Again totally acknowledging its comparing apples and oranges and im definitely not suggesting Gamble is the answer. Just showing that Deaden has no right to complain and gamble probably is worthy of a crack.
