Dean has only had 3 starts so far this season, he needs regular game time in order to develop.
Williams and Ratchford seems to be the preferred halfback pairing at the moment. I expect that Widdop will get the nod at fullback this week but I don’t think that the coach will have any concerns about Thewlis stepping back in should Widdop need to move back to half due to injuries. Mata'utia could also be ahead of Dean in the pecking order at half, should the need arise, with Wrench able to cover at centre. With Minikin being reported as only a couple of weeks away we have further options in the 3/4.
I see this as a positive move for Dean and he can be recalled at any time.
