No, he didn't cheat the cap, but he structured it so that he could win a comp and pay for it later. This obviously didn't work, and all we got from him was a few years of finals footy. Most would agree that his time here was barely a pass mark, yet the club has been screwed since his departure, and it's all due to his cap management. If it had come off and we won, great. But it didn't, and we have been paying for it ever since.
It just sounds to me that you are like one of those players, only willing to play for an overpriced contract!!!
