Alan Jones poached them, purely and simply: I'm sure I've seen an interview with Ross where he said that the offer of equity in the team was too good an offer to refuse (the past couple of years would be proof enough that he knew what he was talking about!). I remember Dick Johnson being less than ecstatic about losing the Stones Brains Trust, off the back of some very good seasons, but that is the extent of the ill-will I think. And given that DJR never looked quite as pacy again, one would have to say that Dick knew what he was losing, despite some churlishness...
