If the Roosters had to choose between Dearden and Luai for a future 5/8th...

[night_shadow]

Which one would you choose?

I'd say Dearden because he's about 4 years younger than Luai. Probably a bit cheaper too.

Luai is being linked with a number of clubs, including the Roosters.

[Bates]

Dearden.

[night_shadow]

Dearden.

He comes off contract at the end of 2024!

[B2B]

Dearden . Luai is overrated and would be bad for the culture .

[Jarlicho]

I think I’d rather develop Sandon Smith to partner Sam Walker long term. Wouldn’t want Luai within a million miles of our club.

[Qld Chook]

Dearden. Luai is a germ.

[Inflictor]

Luai would be more suited to a bogan cultured club like Panthers, Souffs, Eels, Dogs or Tigers.
I wouldn't want either player.

[Steggles]

Which one would you choose?

I'd say Dearden because he's about 4 years younger than Luai. Probably a bit cheaper too.

Luai is being linked with a number of clubs, including the Roosters.

And 4 times better.

Robbo: “Luai is third in smarts to only Cooper Cronk and Victor Radley.”

[The Brain]

I would take Dearden..more reliable thye other one is heading to washedupville

[Dr. Voodoo Man]

Yeah Dearden. Too many question marks on Luia but if he came cheap maybe.

[DP1990]

Dearden.


I don't wanna overlook Sandon but if it's a choice between Dearden and Luai the grub, Dearden all day.


Dearden and Walker combo could potentially be a future Queensland halves combo (not anytime soon due to Munster holding onto one role but definitely an alternate combination if injuries or suspension etc occurred in the near future).

[GC6]

I’m hoping Sandon smith gets the 14 role once walker returns.
I love what Turpin has done over the past couple of months with defence etc but when Sandon had those couple of stints in dummy half he went really well. Which then in turn we would give him more experience to maybe take over Keary.

but as for the two mentioned. Dearden all day

[Johnny73]

I'd take a three legged black dog over Luai. I thought Tom Dearden retired years ago.

Halves next year should be Walker and Smith in my opinion.

[4 the all in brawl]

Deardon is a gun, reminds me of a young Luke Keary, so its an easy decision, but I like the look of young Sandon Smith.....
