Just on the above....
We were hit harder because we finished last....and we had no way of getting better.
Couldn't use our early draft picks, stripped off us, including a priority pick which wasn't even part of the 'deal'.
Couldn't trade into the first round, so even if we had talented players other teams wanted, we couldn't trade them unless it was for unders.
At the time, the money was a big deal. It nearly broke us. We were broke. We had to sell our soul for 1mil to move away from PP.
Alternatively, Bombers had a war chest saved up and wrote a cheque and moved on.
