I am not ready to see Flanno turn the bulldogs into a heavyweight team again

Has he signed?

Regarding Vaughn, this article is interesting. I've never rated the guys attitude. His attitude over "BBQ gate" was typical of him I thought. Seems like a "not my fault" guy. He can play, but would he be worth having?

Why Paul Vaughan is the type of footballer the Bulldogs don’t need

The Bulldogs prop needs to take some responsibility for his on-field performance.

Just posted this in the Pele thread so thought I'd chuck it here as well.
My brother is a tigers supporter and reckons this bloke is usually on the money.

Looks like they will put off the slide again CM. How can you keep getting it so wrong?

Next year will be interesting, losing both Bromwich boys, Kaufusi and Cheese.

 

[Sparkles]

Yep. There's a salary cap now and an Anti Doping policy.

But also WhatsApp and Signal with great message encryption

This article has huge "don't say mean things to me" vibes. Vaughan has been good this year, and on a reasonable salary. Every team could do with that.

There's also another one from their 'staff writers' today. Quoting crawly saying Vaughan will end up in the SL on 100k. **** the murdoch media.

Bellamy set to stay on as Melbourne coach for next year apparently instead of moving into the directors role.

They realised it was a bad time to announced they'd poached Trent Barrett over from the Dogs

While you're not wrong I do kind of agree Vaughan has failed a few ******** tests now over his career.
If he was very good value I'd be okay with signing him but I wouldn't want to fight or pay premium for a guy who doesn't seem to be able to pull his head in.
Fifita has had similar issues but was a far better player.

Of course it doesn't, it's the tigers

Paid overs for an old next button that doesn't work anymore while the one they had in juniors kills it on another forum
Typical

Storm have converted him into a prev button and he hasn't looked back.

Or has he?

 

[Thresher]

Best way for Vaughan's bad press to go away is to sign with the Roosters

Yeah that's a pretty weak reason to pen a piece on him. Author even agrees with Vawn that RL journos are mostly scum, but quickly moves on. Sooky crap.

 

[Gumby]

It's OK. Paps only has about 10 years of football left in him. Slide will come

And grant

You can have the best spine in the game, hard if your forward pack isn't going forward.

meh, they’ll find folks to do the job nearly as well, they always do.

Bellamy turned the likes of Brian Norrie into a good forward…

For sure but lets see who he replaces those forwards with & how good he makes them.

I remember people (maybe not here) saying he wasn't **** without Slater, Cronk, Smith, Inglis but they all eventually left & he's still flying.

Not disagreeing but it's a decent test, not a lot of time to replace them.

They will still have Welch, NAS, Sims, Tui, King and Howarth (could be special). You'd have to think they've still got a bit left in the bank to go and buy a decent forward.

Yeah fair point
