We did what the rules permitted art the time.  The is no "legislative" framework which proscribes 'tanking'.  We did it, as others did.  If you want to debate the degree of it, then that is an entirely different argument.  By the way, we were not found guilty of "tanking'.  The result was a bit like having your cake and eating too. 

I know what we were found guilty of and I know what we did. 

I was pro-tank.  

But we were as inept at tanking as everything else.  We were one of the worst run clubs that has ever graced this planet.

What saga ?

I believe the saga might have been the long running so called "tanking" investigation that abruptly concluded with a settlement agreed upon by the parties involved to avoid court action. The investigation lasted several months and was accompanied by a lot of noise and allegations mostly unsubstantiated about the activities of the club.

Supposedly it's not about that. 

Did you read the post I was responding to ?

We got a real CEO and a Coach that knew exactly what needed to be done.

You wasted your own time with your response.  A response that shed zero light on one of the most disussed topics ever to appear on this forum.  Probably "the" most discussed.

If you'd provided a scintilla of profundity it may have been welcomed and even enhanced your somewhat anonymous reputation.  

Unfortunately you missed the mark.

Thanks for wasting more of your time by reading this response in its entirety. 

Anybody else subconsciously adding Daniher after every mention of 'Neale' in this thread?

And what might that be?

Just listened to Cuddles on Grandstand deliver a very good retort to Jakovich. Very level and pragmatic but with a little swipe at the end.

Paraphrased: "Glen Jakovich is one of the greatest players of all time but where players of his era like Worsfold, Sumich and Don Pyke have gone on to coach, Geln has decided to stay in media and hide behind a microphone."
