What Dogs want before signing sacked Dragon; Pangai ‘can’t make up his mind’

[Bulldogsforlife23]

Pls don’t sign Vaughan pls just sign tpj from that list

 

[LordSidious66]

I don't know how anyone looks at the future prospects and resources of the Tigers and Bulldogs and chooses the Tigers.

Is he going to the tigers?

 

[bradtalo]

If TPJ can't make up mind that tells me Tigers were going to get him but now Gould has joined us he's probably thinking of going the other way. I think we'll get him now.

I hope you're right. I hope it's not that Gould has us going cold on signing TPJ. Does anyone know if Gould seems to be a fan of TPJ or not when in commentary on Broncos games ?

If he goes to Tigers he'll be able to take it easy and hang with a few mates, put in a bit of effort now and then, but never really amount to much with the rest of his career. If he comes to us he'll have to work hard but will have the chance to be part of something.

Pretty tough decision, no wonder its taking him a while.

Strange how Maguire bypassed the Bulldogs because of their poor salary cap and he went to the Tigers.
Little bit like shitting the bed.

 

[COVENS]

Is he going to the tigers?

No idea. I just don't understand why he'd even be debating it - provided the money is the same.

 

[bricktamland]

Never really heard him talk different perspective of him

If you are Paul Vaughan you've got to be questioning how a player accused of rape waiting two years for trial can still be employed by the club, while you host a bbq with players you train with every week and earn a sacking for it. raises a massive issue of double standards in my mind.

 

[KLil]

We are so getting both...

Just imagine Gould somehow convinces Bellamy to take a forward for Smith,

We are so good to go in 2022.

Bronx did him dirty. That’s why I hope he comes to us with something to prove.

Yup. They pretty much caught him off guard by telling him before the match. Now they want to retain him, i'd give them the bird and move on.

dogs want to sign pang but he can't make up my mind I say hey tevita you need to make a decision bro if not we save money for kikau or Crichton next year

to be fair, De Belin has the presumption of innocence and was not ultimately convicted... however, the fact that after such loyalty from the Dragons, De Belin attended said BBQ and was not subsequently sacked though indicates to me that the Dragons wanted Vaughn's $800K a season wage off their books

You can't blame them. Vaughan isn't worth anything near 800k. They just needed an excuse to sack him.

fair... but that question should at least be put to the Dragons club instead of them just being allowed to prance around as community conscious unchallenged

I've seen a few people in the media (specifically on NRL 360) throw it up as the reason why he got sacked.

 

[alchemist]

fair enough

 

[Como Dog]

If my memory serves me correctly like most commentators he seemed to always talk about their great talented youngsters mainly the forwards, but their halves not doing enough for the team.

What Dogs want before signing sacked Dragon; Pangai ‘can’t make up his mind’: Transfer Whispers

Canterbury is set to sign sacked Dragons prop Paul Vaughan, but the Bulldogs have asked the NRL for clarity over an eight-week suspension hanging over the player’s head before they commit fully.
Vaughan was sacked on the spot by St George Illawarra last week after breaching NSW Police orders and NRL Covid protocols by hosting a party with a dozen Red V teammates.
His $800,000 contract was torn up immediately, but it appears he won’t be unemployed for long.


The Australian journalist Brent Read says Vaughan will be given a lifeline by the Dogs.
But there’s a sticking point. Vaughan has been handed a two-month ban by the NRL, which can’t be served while he’s not a contracted player.

“The issue there is the Dogs are waiting for some clarity from the integrity unit about how it will play out once they do sign him,” Read told Triple M radio on Saturday.
“They could sign him now, he would serve his suspension out, but they would have to pay him.

“They’ve got to work out with the integrity unit what they would be paying him given he won’t be playing, what would be a legitimate payment, what would be a legitimate contract.

“I think they want to get some clarity around how the suspension would play out if they signed him now, how it would play out if they signed him for the start of next year, whether they would avoid having to pay him this year, that serves his suspension and then he comes back next year and the ban is served. That’s what Canterbury is trying to establish.”

CLUBS WAITING ON BRONCOS BAD BOY
Tevita Pangai Jr has a number of options on the table but he’s yet to make a decision on his future, according to Brent Read.
The Broncos initially told the fiery forward he was free to leave Red Hill, but it’s now reported Brisbane is prepared to keep him on the books next year if he decides to stay.
But it’s looking likely he won’t, and instead has two Sydney clubs fighting for his services.
The Tigers and Bulldogs have offers on the table for Pangai and Read says he was expected to make a decision by Saturday, but that didn’t happen.
“Tevita Pangai is an interesting one. The Tigers and Canterbury are obviously vying for Tevita, everyone expected a decision on Friday,” Read said.

“It didn’t come. They’ve been bracing for a decision today. Last time I spoke to the Tigers, Canterbury, and Brisbane, they were all still waiting for Tevita to make a call.
“As it stands right now we’re still waiting on Tevita. I think there’s a genuine level of frustration from the Tigers and Canterbury that they haven’t heard yet.
“Not to the point where they’re pulling out, they are still biding their time and waiting to get something out of Tevita.
“I’m told Tevita is flipping and flopping, he can’t make up his mind.”
The news on Friday that Phil Gould has joined Canterbury in a head of football role could ultimately sway Pangai one way or the other.
“I don’t think Gus (Gould) as got anything to do with it... Tevita and his camp weren’t aware of that,” Read said.
But he went on to say that will now be factored into the decision.

The Vaughan thing is an interesting one. He was handed a breach notice of a "proposed" 8 game suspension. Did he cop to that BEFORE he was sacked by the Dragons? If he is sacked does that affect the breach notice? If he has to serve the 8 games after a new contract, could that be legally challenged on the basis that he was punished twice?

Bronx did him dirty. That’s why I hope he comes to us with something to prove.
