Actually you might be right but it wouldn't have been difficult last year and I've pretty much removed it from memory. As an experienced half outshining in a 4 win season means shod all to me, can't have been that good (different for Dearden as he's inexperienced). There's a reason he was only given 3 games this year, along with being injury prone, his defence seemed to go way downhill for starters. Thought he was older than 29... by all means sign him up, I don't dislike the guy just signing him seemed like a knee-jerk reaction to keep/make Ash happy which got me off him from the start.
