The price we paid was also contributed to by bad decisions and infighting.Its the price Des is willing to pay.
He has a devised this backended system to combat the "legitimate" Salary Cap Cheating of the Roosters, Storm and Bronco's.
We won 2 comps and lost another two GF's (one under Toovey) with this same system that the Dogs had for 2 GF losses. 6 GF appearances in 8 years suggests its a worthwhile system even if it all turns to **** and the end.
I dont think you can have it both, success and stay 100% compliant because the system is titled towards those 3 teams mentioned above.
The whole thing wouldn't have had such an impact if we had a functional board and proper decision making, then the price of Des's back ended contracts could've been overcome.
The build up to and the sacking of Tooves was the catalyst to our situation to date.
I think Lyall is getting us back on track.
