Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3455509, member: 1899"] The more plausible explanation is that Dearden's camp organised this independently of Walters. The Cowboys were in the market for new halves after losing Clifford to Newcastle and Dearden who came through their junior academy and lived in Mackay shaped as an ideal replacement. With that deal on the table, Dearden's camp turned to Kev to match or better that deal. Dearden bombed out in the trials and when he received his opportunity after his camp threatened to walk out if he wasn't selected to play NRL in the first 6 weeks he proceeded to play his worst football. Now you can certainly attach some blame to Kev, but Dearden has to accept some responsibility as well. He received multiple opportunities and bombed every single one. For a club that was moving on from it's worst period, changes had to be made. Kev saw Billy as a 9, it was Billy who wanted a shot at 6. That's why when Kev had the opportunity to pair somebody with Reynolds early in the season he opted for Kelly over Billy. [/QUOTE]
