The only way he can earn more than what is on the table for him right now is by going to Japan or Europe to play Rugby. Any switch to League would see him taking a pay cut and most likely a fairly substantial one. I am yet to see where he has mentioned Japan or Europe as an alternative to the Reds/ARU, and statements about wanting to play alonside SBW are most likely in regards to League. If it was about the money, he wouldn't be using League as his smoking gun, as the smoke would be coming from a cap gun.
All I can say is, I am a competitive person and if my team mates and coach simply passed off losses as acceptable because the opposition is so good and way above our level, I to would get the shits.
At any stage this year or in previous years, have we heard Deans or the Wallabies coaching staff and hierarchy articulate any plan to reverse our continuing losses to the All Blacks and our continuing poor execution and poor basic skills.
All we get is the same old tired excuses being trotted out, the same old piss poor play and shock losses. As things stand, there is no light at the end of the tunnel. The players are taking all the blame whilst those responsible continue on their merry way, with no plan to implement the changes necessary to the organisation and staff to reach the super awesome, out of this world level of the All Blacks.
I wouldn't have gone about things the way he has, but then again, we don't know what he has said behind closed doors, for all we know, he could have raised his problems with the chain of command and it all fell on deaf ears.
