Tom Dearden Shines in Maroons' Victory and Eyes Ashes Tour
Tom Dearden's standout performance led Queensland to victory in the series decider, earning him the Wally Lewis Medal. Despite his success, Dearden remains humble about his chances of joining the Kangaroos for the Ashes tour in England.
\"It’s Tom Dearden’s time!\" That was Billy Slater's mantra after choosing Dearden as halfback over Daly Cherry-Evans following Queensland’s series opening loss in Brisbane. Dearden won the Wally Lewis Medal as player of the series after the 24-12 victory in the decider at Accor Stadium.
Dearden downplayed taking the Kangaroos No.7 jersey, praising Nathan Cleary. Dearden got his chance in the Australian squad last year alongside Mitchell Moses. Dearden excelled in Origin III, winning player of the match.
Dearden credited his success to playing with great teammates and representing his state. Slater praised Dearden's competitiveness and acknowledged Cherry-Evans' contributions to the team.
