I wonder if, following the NRL Covid breech, there's anyone we might pick up.

Not the world's greatest, but I'd take Vaughan.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Mon Jul 05, 2021 1:04 pm  

I’d walk over hot coals for Vaughan tbh. He made about 260 metres in a game at the weekend. That’s some upgrade on our lads knocking out between 10 metres and 50 metres a week. They rarely make that ground as a collective.

Sadly good players like that won’t come between here and if they do, it won’t be to Wigan.

I think there might be a chance, although only a small one. He's just copped a 8 game ban and is getting loads of heat. He'll be 31 next season and whilst m sure he'll have suitors is he worth the backlash?

I wouldn’t worry about his misdemeanour in the slightest. He had a party at his house, which In Oz is a big no no but here we’re all diving all over each other watching England games with hundreds of strangers, so it’s hardly a hanging offence. I believe one of the clubs riddled with Covid cases here recently had started to have problems following a team BBQ. A lad like Vaughan would love it here in that case as there are no consequences on the players and if things get tough just pretend you have a few injuries.

Oh sorry, I meant would another NRL think he's worth it.

He's definitely worth it for us.

I've just seen this, i'd love Warrington to sign Vaughan but not at his St George contract - $800k WOW!

He would be a good pickup for any club both here or NRL.

De Bellin is a stupid man having just made his comeback and Corey Norman, that must be the end of him in the NRL.... hes gonna be over here. I could see Corey Norman at Hudds replacing Kenny Edwards

Ah right. I think St George will probably just keep him but if not somebody will take him on. They are really hot on the covid breaches over there I suppose but teams are desperate to strengthen in loads of areas because of how far they are falling behind teams like Melbourne and Penrith.

Incredible from De Bellin really and then Norman is desperate for a club and you’d think he could knock a few pints on the head to try and avoid harming his cause.

Danny Ward gone from London. He would be a good appointment IMO. (Not a rumour just what I would like to see).

I think he may be joining the staff at Leeds
