He can go for me.
Cost us 2 GF visits with his indiscipline.

Not sure if he cost us 2 gf visits but he is our best prop forward by a long way.

He got suspended the playoffs in 2023,
He got suspended vs Leigh this season and lost us home advantage and top 2 finish.
He almost cost us a CC final visit too get suspended vs St Helens.

I’d been blowing the trumpet about his indiscipline since last season and got grief for it, yet he unfortunately prove me right.
He’s a liability and he cost us over and over.

If we do cash him in we need a replacement like Bunty Afoa, a tank of a prop who can cause some damage.
Will be interesting to see what happens but i don't think Burgess will be keen to let him go.

I don’t want any overseas player. They constantly end up going home.

I’d rather us buy the best of British or if we have to raid Aus, at least an overseas without a family.

We lost other games in 2024 we arguably should have won. If we had played a full side vs Wigan and won, we would have won the LLS. Harsh to pin that on Vaughan. 2023 we were miles off the pace anyway.

Comparison between 2023 when Vaughan made the dream team and 2024.

I have no inside knowledge whatsoever but I have cast the runes and now think if SB can find a replacement he will let Vaughan go, especially if a transfer fee is involved. In any event I would be surprised if we see Vaughan in primrose and blue (or lilac) next season.

I have a bit of a feeling too. The fact that he is in Oz now will make negotiations easier. He'll miss the traffic in Stockton Heath though. I can't think of any UK props that we would want.
