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

[ConGa]

100% Deardon

[Kelby]

Neither.

Id prefer a big body 5/8

Dearden by lots. Luai is a twat of the highest order. Dearden is a good, honest old fashioned competitor. Kid looks the goods at 6.

We won't get either though so should focus on developing Sandon and Walker combo.

Talk about Bronx regretting the Walker move, the media love to go on about that link despite the fact he left them when he was 15 years old. How would they feel about getting rid of Dearden after basically dumping him after half a season? The long-term QLD halves will be Dearden and Walker IMO.

[Kiwi Rooster]

Dearden by a mile

[Rooster36]

Neither.

Agree .. a wighton would have been perfect

Wighton as a kicking left centre.

Dearden is a class above the highly overrated Jarome Luai.

He'd make a great Rooster but it won't happen.

I love Sammy and Sandon also has a bright future. However I don't believe they can make a successful halves combination, much in the same way that Kez and Sam haven't.

100% what i was thinking. Dearden pffft please & Luai is a show pony wanabe Benji. Give me Burton in our system any day of the week. Has a big boot and runs like a forward

[Jacks Fur Coat]

I'd choose Keary.
