Official Paul Vaughan signs for the Bulldogs on a one year deal

[Psycho Doggie]

I reckon he’ll be good for the culture.. he’ll bring the team together

Vaughn will make history by being the first NRL player to have a "no BBQs" clause in his contract...

 

[rogueflare]

Can’t we sign Vaughan for the rest of this year on a match payment contract (so we pay nothing for him but he is still contracted and therefore he serves his suspension) and then sign him to a proper contract next year as a reward for his “commitment to training” and “enthusiasm”.

@Malla @ASSASSIN any update?

Nothing from me bro, still in bed with this fkn head cold.

Last news was we are in talks with the nrlol first before officially making an offer.

 

[The DoggFather]

Vaughan = meterage

Yardage bro, Baz says yardage lol

Here Is a question...

Since he is sacked, can't he train with us from now?

 

[Bull Terrier]

I keep looking at our team next year including Vaughan which i hope we get. cannot believe the talent the club has put together. Well done JK doggies looking good.

 

[TAS]

Since his 8 week suspension was handed to him before he was sacked, his sacking should wipe that suspension out because that in itself is a massive punishment. I can understand if NRL won't let anyone sign him for the rest of this year but surely he should be free to sign anywhere for next year without his new club having to worry about a 8 week suspension. He's copped a big punishment as it is.

If the NRL saw that logic then he should be free to train with us from now if we can get him signed for next year.

Good news if we sign him for next year and beyond he does NOT serve 8 week suspension. Up the dogs make it happen !

 

[TAS]

Paul Kent just confirmed that he spoke to NRL today and they have said Vaughan is free to sign anywhere to be available for round 1 next year. No 8 week suspension.

That's fair. He's been punished enough.

He gets a fresh start next year to show how good he is.

Yep exactly now that’s sorted we should get him signed right away before other clubs start lerking

If he was to agree to sign next year for 400 can the club sign him for this year for 150, if cap allows, and then only pay him 250 next year. Means more is available for next year n Vaughn gets his money spread over 18 months.

Don’t think that would change anything same amount coming out of the cap. We can just front load someone else I guess

 

[Bazildog]

If Gus wants him, he will be here.

If it could be done it would mean only 250 comes out of the cap next year instead of 400 freeing up 150 to use elsewhere.

Party at Dave Holland’s house

Curries and papadams at Nasheeds....
Nasheed will show us all his moves....all welcome!

 

[Disposable Hero]

Was Thinking abought Vaugahn abd his BBQ.
I reckon once he gets a few Kebabs from Doorey he wont be bothered by the evil BBQ itch ever again.

 

[Powerslide]

apparently Nrl signed off on Vaughn serving his suspension whether contracted on not this year, will be free to play 1st round next year.

 

[Cujo]

You get a 144m 30 tackle player for sub 400k. Replacing a 90m 20 tackle player who’s on 650k

In my book that’s 50% better player for 40% cheaper.

Not really winning powerball jackpot. But a decent set for life 2nd division prize

Well said!

Brilliant! Now Get him done.

Next stop Brandon smith.
