That's generally how it works in any organisation with a hierarchical management structure. Responsibility for signings and cap management was delegated to the Director of Rugby and the Head Coach with involvement from the Financial Director and minimal oversight from the CEO. Pearson has admitted that he made a mistake in not overseeing these activities closely enough - something which he says he has now changed.
In the absence of any evidence indicating the contrary I'm not sure why people are so sure this version of events is false. It's just as likely as any other version.

If that's accurate then it's most likely fallout from the changes made to tax exempt payment schemes.

Im struggling, Ellis could still do a job for someone, maybe a few other forwards, cant think of any backs. Maybe Escare of Catalan

I'm not sure it's false. I'm not sure it's true, either. As you say, it's as likely as any other version, and whilst there is absence of evidence indicating the contrary, vice versa is also true. It's all on somebody's say-so, and I don't personally have much confidence in the word of any of those involved any more.
All I said was that I have a problem attributing it to the now departed, and how heavily it (IMO) has been used as an excuse/explanation for a truly abysmal season.

Silly comment for me that. NRLis the better comp by a distance but isnt as dominant in every aspect as its made to be. Take mike cooper. Love him at dragons. Luke burgess average at leeds weakest of the brothers. Plays every week.
in the past jason smith went back retired n finished. Played 3more yrs. Hall briscoe charnly would all play. Most the wingers out there are erratic. Few alrounders. Watkins could play. Clark. Roby should of gone out there.
Not many backs wouldto think of but a few forwards would go well

Joel Monaghan , Chris Hill , Ryan Hall ,
Maybe Elliot whitehead and Tom Briscoe would hold there own

Monaghan might not be allowed back for canine reasons but I reckon he could do a job still.
And I know he's not current SL so it misses the point, but how many Grand Finals has Jamie Lyon(s) been in since he left Saints?
