The Fan's Rating: 3.8/10

Some of what the fans had to say:

""Very unlucky. A big year ahead for Solly.""

""Badly missed his hardness in the backline this year. Had a year to get over his knee injury, hopefully he can use the preseason to regain confidence in his knee and grab a position on the half back flank.""

""Looking forward to having him back in the seniors next year but his absence helped blokes like Jacobs and Bolton develop. Will be like a major recruit next year.""

""Solly was looking set for a big season before his injury. Hopefully the knee is alright and he can once again be a key part of the back six.""

""I can’t rate Dean’s performance as he didn't play the entire year. However I can say I am expecting a great 10/10 on field performance from him in 2003!""

""Really missed his hardness this year. Expect a great year to come.""

""Great to see him training again and hopefully he will strengthen our already rock solid backline.""

""Looking forward to seeing Dean again. His form at the end of 2001 was his best. The backline will be more versatile if he can resume successfully.""

The wash up:The fan's said it was hard to rate Solomon's performance in 2002 because he didn't play, however they thought he looked in good shape in the preseason. The fan's agree the team missed Solomon's hardness at the ball and drive through the mid-field and look forward to seeing him back in the team in 2003.

What Mark Harvey has to say:
""People should never underestimate how much of a loss Solomon was to us in a number of ways - the way he attacks the ball and how attacking he is off the half-back flank. He has come back from his knee injury with real leadership qualities and renewed hunger. He is always aggressive towards his footy and is always in and under the packs and the team needs that, especially with the players that have left the club over the past couple of years - Long, Wallis, Hardwick and Moorcroft.""
