Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3371919, member: 1899"] The Dearden situation was bizarre. Essentially what happened was that Clifford signed onto play for Newcastle leaving the Cowboys short. So they head-hunted Dearden and the both parties made sure to make it public to heap pressure on the Broncos. After going back and forth all pre-season, Walters settled on a Milford/Croft combination which peeved the Dearden camp who threatened to walk if Dearden wasn't given game time. Walters acquiesced and rushed Dearden into the squad and Tom proceeded to have some of the worst performances of his career. Brisbane decided they were going to pass on Dearden after that audition allowing the Cowboys to pick him up on what could be a bargain. If Brisbane had have got into a bidding war, they probably could have got him but they didn't want to. With that said, the talk that Dearden wanted to be a Broncos for life and was rejected by the club he loved was BS too. They were just bitter the Broncos didn't help him get a better deal one way or another. However it looks like he's settled now and is beginning to play the type of football he displayed in 2018. It's been a long time coming... [/QUOTE]
