I agree, in priciple, that the Coach should coach and the Board should be responsible for finance and player recruitment/ contractual agreements.
In a business sense that does seem sound.
Quoting Choc's words, "Dessie is a control freak."
In no way should Des have total control over the Board's decisions or direction.....
but....
Two Premierships in four years and three GFs in five years does make Des look like he knows exactly what he's doing and what he's doing seems to be correct.
It may sound correct to come in line with the other NRL Clubs, our rivals, but perhaps Des is right. Perhaps our rivals need to come to terms with Dessie's way..... after all... he's got the runs on the board!
