News Paul Vaughan

[kmr07]

I live in Wollongong and can tell you that both Vaughn and Dufty only live a few blocks away from Barrett. They can all car pool lol so Baz can keep a closer eye on them that way.

Also, one of Baz’s best mates is Mary McGregor. So obviously Baz would have got all the first hand background checks from Mary on these 2.

Yeah but McGregor actually came out and said that Vaughan was stupid or dumb or something along those lines

 

[boggie23]

He is a lockdown defender. Has a big motor. And can make yardage through the middle. Isn’t the player he was 4-5 years ago. But like others have stated on another ball park to Ogden, Britt, atoni and in another universe to Napa.

Decent short term signing if true (2 years max on mid level coin). I’m sure burton and JAC Would appreciate Vaughan and pangai in the squad if possible.

Also you’d think he’d have a point to prove next year after what happened.

 

[Stinger]

We desperately need some forwards, last night was yet another example of us losing the field position battle consistently.

We always struggle to get out of our own half.

Or the top teams know how to be continuously inside the 5-10m and not get penalised with 6 agains. The minute our boys try it they get caned by the ref *****

 

[Menteek]

If we sign Vaughan, thats it im done being a long suffering dogs supporter.

But when CHN did what he did, raiders signed him. Barba mental breakdown and he signed with broncos. Don’t get it, he will probably get a one year deal Like dufty and prove everyone wrong and earn his stripes again. Could yet again be a stop gap for us to chase other marquee players in 2023

He said he’s a good player and decent guy but shouldn’t be in a leadership group, he should just be allowed to play the game with no added responsibility.

2 .5 year deal for Vaughan club option for the 2nd year can’t hurt us yes he is a dickhead for the party but we can get him at reduced rate won’t hurt at worst we have him for one full season with the 2nd a club option with behavioural clauses in it

 

[Isaac]

Paul vaughn needs to be signed next week in order to finish his suspension this year.

 

[Spoonman84]

Do you really think under 400K that would be a very good deal.
I thought he would demand more but only guessing TBH

I guess it depends on who else chases him. I wouldn’t want to go much higher than $400k.

 

[Shire Dog]

I find the whole suspension thing odd. He gets 8 weeks while under contract and then subsequently gets sacked. For me I think as long as he doesn't play again this year (which the NRL has that power via not authorising a 2021 contract) then if he signs one for 2022 then he shouldn't have to sit out for 8 weeks. All it's doing is penalising the next club. I mean he will miss the rest of the season already and then lost a few hundred k already? Thoughts?

You raised a good point surely his status regarding the 8 week suspension would have to be clarified by the NRL prior to any contract talks.
It’s a long stint on the sidelines if it rolls into next year.
I wouldn’t think it’s the case.

Fair enough do you have any idea what he was on at saints.

 

[Vek]

I dont mind.

We need a decent gapfiller in the forwards until we get who we need in the backs/halves.

 

[Spoonman84]

Fair enough do you have any idea what he was on at saints.

Only going off news reports but it was around $800k according to those.

 

[B-Train]

Fair enough do you have any idea what he was on at saints.

He was on at least 600k at Saints.

 

[a dogs life]

1 year deal for vaughan wouldn’t hurt

2yrs with the second year in our favour

 

[astroboy]

Can anyone please post the whole article.

 

[Jebbundy]

I’d be happy, to let go of Napa to someone that needs to rewrite history in Vaughn, add Jackson, hetherington, Elliot, Waddell, Thompson, topine and the possibility of pangai open us up to intimidation once again, add dufty, jac, naden, burton, avo, schoupp, manu to a backline of speed then we have improvements and skill, last piece of puzzle is nine and who sits next to burton and Bailey seems to have something 6 or 9 with jmk as the back up, that looks to me like a team I’d be proud of, and that’s in Trent’s 2nd yr, would I be wrong in saying it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas?

 

[rexest]

Thompson says hi

He hasn't lived upto his price tag yet. Keeps missing crucial tackles and dosent make the kind of meters that vaughan does.

When the Dogs were successful back in 2002-2006.

We had Asotasi, Mason, O'Meley, Maitua, Ryan and SBW that put fear in teams in attack and defense. Then decade later we had Kasiano, Pritchard and Klemmer. After that our forward pack is like a bunch of poptarts...

We need some grunt and mongrel back in the forward pack.

All good I suppose we will have to trust our club accountant lol

 

[Malla]

This is actually a good signing if true. Would be on the cheap, heard he’s a bit of a pest but what’s happened would have humbled him.
