It's not about being "nice". It's about recruiting players of good character who will sacrifice for the greater good.
Melbourne are the template.
They recruit players who are willing to do a job for the team. The no dickhead policy creates unity and a sense of team. It creates a winning club.

I couldn't give a crap if they fought each other behind the in goal area ...get us to the 8 is all that matters and we become the most hated team in NRL history ...who cares

Dragons won the lottery. With Vaughan on 800khe messes up again and strike 5 and he's gone. Frees up a lot of money for them.

Does Vaughan get keep the $800K and then Dragons have an additional $800k in their cap? If he gets to keep his contract money then I don't see this as a satisfactory penalty.

He has a contract for that amount of money it will be interesting how that pans out .. he had a bbq and broke some restrictions and was a goose to lie about the fact … which all the others did as well ! as are thousands in Sydney are doing daily !
The club has the right to sack him and he has the right to his contract money I would expect .

If it's a violation of his employment contract he's entitled to nothing I would have thought.

He won't get his money, not a chance.

I wonder what the next step is if they can prove that outsiders from the bubble are proven to been at the party

If I was the NRL , I'd be telling them all this is the last chance to come forward ...you get caught out from here you lose 50% of all your earnings in 2021 ....and then donate it one of the mental health groups ....

He’s probably at Brydens this morning for advice your kidding if you think he will get nothing .
No one gets nothing this day and age especially from an employer!

I wouldn't be opposed if he was having a chat to Lee this morning ...for 2022 of course .....but I think in his case by the time allows him to sign an nRL contract it will be too late career wise .....

Next thing ..lets agree with the ESL and vice versa that any fine / banning is carries over to the opposite league .....it would make many other players stop and think ...especially forwards ...no way any forward breaks into a top rugby union side and gets the big bucks ....

Vaughan made a huge mistake, but the other players could of easily just said they weren't going to go to the BBQ. Vaughan didnt make em go the BBQ they chose to go

He's made 3 mistakes allegedly. Thats the reason he was terminated. Add to that, after he was caught this time, he organised a zoom meeting amongst the players so they could all get their stories straight before fronting the integrity unit. Concocting untruths as a version of events never ends well in any field.

I am not trying to defend Vaughan just pointing out that the other players chose to go to the BBQ when they knew they shouldn't have gone

You mean the club who cheated the cap, with most of the good players being on board - that counts as a no dickhead policy.

Still don't think we should try that approach. See how it creates unity though, they still deny it and won't give their premiership rings back.

Yes and No.
Vaughn is a gun.

Last game V Warriors

21 runs for 264 meters..imagine if we had that sort of go forward?

Will be interesting to see if anyone picks him up though. He’d have to serve the 8 weeks wherever he goes wouldn’t he?

I can see a Roosters / Souths picking him up cheap so he can turn his reputation around and he can get extra paper bags. He will have no problem with getting another club and most likely the Dogs offer him 800k so that would rule us out again.

If you want to try ...have 3 major incidents that you are mainly to blame for where you work , where you have breached major WH&S policies ...you'll probably end up unemployed .....

I've worked at my job for 24 years and last year got a warning for breaching a major WH&S policy ...and all I was doing was trying to help out the manager the next day as they had a newish staff member on ....OK I fell off a ladder and displaced my wrist lol ..but rules are rules and I shouldn't have done what I did ..risk isn't always the reward
