1 year contracts for Dufty and Vaughn, i thought they said no bandaid solutions?
To me it’s smart.
Both could kill it and demand extensions and a lot more $ (suits them)
Both could fail/fuck up and we are safe and $ to go for someone next year that we eyeing. Hopefully jr Paulo maybe papn lol.
Though either way the win for me is these two should at least help with the others get us to a competing top 8 team. It’s been the best part of a decade we haven’t been.
Dufty no doubt on similar money tonmeaney is a huge win.
Vaughan on close to half of Napa’s and offers 3-4x more.
Plus both with a point to prove could be huge.
If nothing else dufty and Jacs speed is a massive win to watch.
Blokes like Pangai and Vaughan will be the first real help Thompson has had of a big body outside Ava to do anything.
Elliott jacko won’t be bartering rams with that. Should help there game.
Hetho benched with Ava and either rfm or Elliott helps too for what we have to use.
Not to mention a fit rfm for once would be Fucking nice.
Cotric naden jac dufty and burton is the most exciting backline we have had since barba and jmoz in 09.
I am worried with 9 and who partners burton.
Flanagan needs to fine something. Avo needs a kicking game as it’s terrible. Maybe as a second option it changes with burton doing most.
Bbo looks a keeper and could be a half option for burton with avo maybe a centre partner to Naden if schoups defence doesn’t improve or alomiti isn’t ready.
Though 9 is a worry. Especially if Bellamy keeps Brandon.
Regardless it’s great to see our backline and pack look solid enough to compete top 8 wise.
It’s what bbo develops to and how we fill that last glaring weakness .
