He showed real potential with us before he went to Belle Vue and I was disappointed when he went there on loan. I thought we would be getting a much better player back than the one that left us but it just hasn’t worked out for Dean.
I just think he plays in the shadow of some of our pack. But if he could start to believe in himself and get his confidence back he could go great for you. There’s a very good Super League player and leader in there somewhere.
If he does what he did at Trinity, you’ll be more than happy.
I think over the years I and maybe others of us have gone from assuming the best in the face of trolling (‘if he was any good, why is he signing for Rovers?’) to assuming the worst even for players getting a decent reference.
I hope we stay up this year and he goes well. However, my base case is hoping we stay up in 2020 while watching lads like Hadley get trampled on by a bunch of massive Polynesians in derbies.
