The boys over at cowboys.com.au are buzzing about Dearden's eagerness to pull on the Kangaroos jersey and represent his country.
The young gun is pumped about the opportunity to create a new chapter in Australian Rugby League history alongside his new Kangaroos comrades.
Dearden, along with Barnett, Lomax, Coates, Young, and Moses, are ready to take on Tonga this Friday night and show what they're made of in the iconic green and gold jersey.
While some fans may be missing the likes of Cherry-Evans, Trbojevic, and Tedesco, Dearden and his fellow newcomers are determined to prove themselves and start a new era for Australian Rugby League.
The Kangaroos will be facing Tonga in Brisbane, with Fonua-Blake leading a formidable pack featuring Taumalolo and Olakau'atu.
It's going to be a battle, but Dearden and the boys are ready to give it their all and leave everything on the field to redeem themselves after last year's tough loss to the Kiwis.
It's time for the new guard to rise and show what they're made of in this highly-anticipated clash.
