Paul Vaughan

[steeliz]

I still can't get around why he was allowed to go to England. He's been our best prop this year. Consistently bends the line and has amazing leg drive.

$$$$$$$$

$$$$$$$$

I can't imagine that an ESL team could out bid us.

 

[capt obvious]

Still gutted he is leaving, but understand why.
I just hope we made a honest offer to him that respects his talent and service to our club.

We are going to miss Paul massively next year. By far our best forward this year, chewing through metres, I think he is top 30 in the nrl for running metres, we don't have another player in the top 50 outside of the Fox, but those aren't the sort of metres Paul is getting through as a forward in the middle

I thought he really showed experience today, squared us up and played nice and direct when we were starting to go a bit sideways or struggle to make meters. He’s been a great signing. We will miss him next year

 

[Froggo]

No idea how we’re gonna replace him. He gets our yardage sets off to strong starts

Haas

 

[Moedogg]

Still an elite prop. I'm guessing his asking price was too much.

 

[Malla]

He was on 800k a year at dragons, so I understand why he’s going to England to make back as much as he can before he retires
Can’t argue with that
Good luck to him, Best front rower we have had since Jama

 

[BondiBulldog]

Does anyone know how much his ESL contract is without speculating?

 

[The Dominator]

Honestly Gus Gould needs to put his mind to how he can change this plan. It won't be a money issue because super league clubs can't offer big $$.

 

[Bulldog1966]

I'll miss the big guy because as expected he has been terrific for us this year and would have been again next year too..but its time to move we on, will enjoy his time for the next 5 games and wish him all the best.
Assume Gus weighed up all factors when not offering a deal he couldn't refuse, his will be bloody decent shoes to fill next year.

 

[freQishDog]

He is a mountain of a man and holds his own. Very solid and experienced. Will be missed! I'm sure he's a great character around the joint too. Isn't there any way we can get him to stay?

 

[coach]

His been superb for us this year

 

[rainman]

Yes he has been very good would have loved to see him play finals footy with us in 23

 

[Dognacious]

Must be something else going on with his move OS. He obviously wasnt let go due to form, hes been great, and its not because he cost too much, hes great value for money. Its not because hes unhappy here, see him at the last team song? Must be more to it.

Wasn’t he on $800k at the dragons and came to us for less than 1/2 of that?
Think the money is the reason he is going.

I think it's simple cap management Gus must see the young pups coming through can take his spot next year in the Squad. We need to be ready to lock up Burton and extend a couple more next year. So Cap space bites again with our own spending spree for next yr aswell. Good for Vaughan as Super League and the coin will extend his career so win win for both.

 

[EL Hefe]

Vaughan will develop home sickness after 1 game in the UK

As it stands, the Super League has a base salary cap of £2.1 million for its top 25 players an average salary of £84,000 per year

Definitely not the money

Is that the ase salary cap as in minimum? what the roof of the salary cap?

Also 1 BP is worth around 1.75 aus dollars.
