Vaughan set to sign with Dragons

THE DRAGONS look to have secured the services of bustling Raiders forward Paul Vaughan.
The hard-working forward is under contract for the 2017 season but the Raiders will not stand in his way of pursuing an opportunity with the Dragons.
Vaughan has struggled to crack the Raiders top 17 for much of the year and has attracted the attention of a number of rival clubs including the Tigers and the Knights. But the Country Origin representative has reportedly rejected their advances in favour of linking up with the Red V.
The deal is very close to being done with both parties just looking to finalise a few details. The move is expected to be announced in the coming days.
The 25-year-old is a great asset for any club as he possesses the ability to play big minutes both as a starter or as an impact player off the bench. He is also extremely versatile and can be effective both up the middle and on the edge as a hole runner.
The Dragons have demonstrated a tendency to poach players from the nation’s capital in recent years. Josh Dugan, Joel Thompson and Josh McCrone have all been signed in the past four seasons.
The club have also recently secured the services of hooker Cameron McInnes and in-form winger Nene Macdonald for 2017.
The big question for the club now centres on who will partner Gareth Widdop in the halves following the decision to part ways with playmaker Benji Marshall.
Young five-eighth Drew Hutchison is the front-runner for the position, however the club are in talks with free agent Todd Carney as first revealed by the RLW Mole.

The only figure that I've seen anywhere is 750 big ones.
Have never seen any other,
Doesn't make it accurate , but it's been consistently reported. No denying it from the club.

Maybe the way he was used was part of his problem.
When he played his normal game he was good for the team, , but when he was trying to be a fix it man for different positions , he quickly went off the boil.
But, no worries
He's supposed to love this club, (after a handful of games). so he wouldn't think of going elsewhere….....would He?

They are stretching the truth by stating that Vaughn can play long minutes. Would highly doubt he has played much more than 40 mins in any 1st grade game he has played so far.
Would have loved to have him at WT as an impact player though. Not to be it seems if he is heading to the career graveyard that is the Dragons. Best of luck to him, he is going to need it.

If Zero Tackle is to be believed, Lichaa is on 350K next yr. You would assume the Dogs would subsidise some of that, lets say 150\. Now if its true that we've saved 450-500k on Farah next yr, that would just about be enough to land him and Idris. Not sure where that would leave ET.

Vaughn is been playing in a dominant forward pack for a few years. I like him as a player but he could turn into a plodder without having all the power players around him.
In saying that the Dragons are at least actively trying to improve their roster, McDonald from the Titians is a very good outside back and Vaughn is a lot better than most of their forwards.
Hope we can start addressing some of our weakness with some quality signings

There is some players around that we could use and I don't think it would be expensive
Carlin Anderson
Michael Oldfield
Nathan Green
Sam Tagataese
Matt Srama
Todd Carney I know but he is a great player on his day , he and Mosses combo incase Brooks leaves
Luke Burgess
Hymel Hunt
Feleti Mateo
Not sure if any have re signed with other clubs but could be some value there

Would look ar Anderson & Hunt. Pass on the rest. If looking for cheap and nasty fringe first graders or players past their prime I would consider this list:
Reimis Smith, Tony Williams, jacob Gagan, Lachlan Burr, Nathan Davis, Kierran Moseley, Blake Leary, Tautau Moga, Cameron King, Suaia Matagi, Zane Musgrove,

Apparently there are some decent Burleigh Bears players to keep an eye out for on Sunday V the Cutters.

I think they're also wary of announcing any signings now in case outraged fans go, "What? We swapped Farah for McIwrick?"

There was 200 backended for 2016 as well as for 2017 , the last two years of his contract.
Not just 2016\. Plus a 750 contract payment.
