26m agoFri 25 Jul 2025 at 7:13amLATE MAIL: Cowboys reunite Dearden with boom rookie\"Jon\"Tom(Getty)<\/p>\n

The Cowboys are 1-17 for tonight’s game, meaning 22-year-old rookie Tom Duffy is back in the halves alongside captain Tom Dearden.<\/p>\n

Duffy started the year at halfback for North Queensland with Dearden at five-eighth, but after two losses, Duffy was axed in favour of Jake Clifford.<\/p>\n

Since then, Dearden has been shifted to seven and has partnered Clifford and Jaxon Purdue.<\/p>\n

Duffy has played two games off the bench and one game with Clifford while Dearden was on Origin duty, but tonight he’s back, albeit with the six on his back.<\/p>\n
