The future of the club ... but also stuck in a pigeon hole.
The Broncos have got it right by not picking Tom Dearden as a bench utility, club great Sam Thaiday says, meaning he may be lucky to play again this season.
Rated the future of the club last season, it seemed Dearden's next proper shot at NRL footy was looming due to the struggles of Brodie Croft and Anthony Milford. But the halves improved against the Bulldogs and Cory Paix - another young playmaker rated key to Brisbane's future, who returned from injury - was preferred in the back-up hooker role; as he has been for Friday's game against Wests Tigers.
