| karetaker:Or thane:
I would still prefer to see Yates at 13, like said above, He's a very good defensive player with a great Engine, but he's not a Prop and doesn't have the size to get the team on the front foot.
Satae does fit that bill, but i wonder if Burgess has put all his eggs in one basket to try and get papali'i as we're in for him by all accounts. Although his Wife has just been convicted of Assault and given a good behaviour order, not sure how that affects a visa or work etc over here?
But yeah i get the mention of being overloaded with props, but again like said above how effective are they getting the team going forward.
Also does anyone know if Vaughan has now actually re-signed with us? If not there is a possibility he won't be here which would leave us a hell of a lot weaker in my oppinion.
Also i understand the Crowther re-signing as he's a decent utility player, covers hooker, prop, 13 and Second row. Not a world beater but a consistant steady player.
We could also still lose Wrench this season as it's his last year and not had much game time, with Lindop getting injured he may get his chance of more Game time....but he might not.
They are convinced over on Redvee that Papali’i as signed for Saints they have been talking about for some time now, personally I’d rather go for Satae His move to Saints might be off following his wife's assault conviction last week in Australia. She might not qualify for a UK visa. | | |

The thing with Vaughan is the situation with his wife. I believe she put her career on hold to come here, signed up for 2 years and extended for another. If she wants to go home, and who could hold that against her, does Vaughan actually see out a two year deal. We could give him the contract, and spend that money on the balance sheet for 2027 but he bail out either in 27, or even in the 26/27 off season, leaving us without a prop and going to the leftover section for a starting prop at short notice.
The alternative is that we give him a year, with a planned review mid way through 2026 to see how it’s playing out both on form and on the family situation. Then commit to funding another year or progress other options for 2027 rather than be at the back of the queue and over pay in desperation.
I think it’s a sensible move from the club, and a long as both parties are open and honest, acting in good faith, there is no reason why it can’t work for both. Such as a ‘mutual option’ clause for 27 which needs to be triggered by May for example.

There is also the issue of their children`s education. York is too far to commute daily from Warrington, so a move over to Yorkshire would mean their kids would have to leave Warrington and all the friends they have made here, They would then be up-rooted again to return to Australia when his York contract expired. | | |

| Smiffy27:Wires71:Smiffy27:Or thane:Wouldn't blame him if he went, and would show how crap we are. 1 year extention on reduced terms, dear god. If he does go we're goosed in the forwards next year, Liam Byrne isn't as good as Vaughan so isn't a like for like swap. So we'd need 2 big solid props and can't attract any, yeah unless we're gonna pull a magic prop out the hat we'll be even weaker next year  Never an easy decision. 35 next year ... so 2 year deal is risky. Don't really think it shows much about us really. How old is Ratchford? We are discussing the possible signing a front line prop, Vaughan, aged 35 next April on a two year deal. Players fade at very different rates. One year extensions safest for us but you can't always get what you want. I am sure there are some examples of props at that age getting two year deals but there are going to be so many more who won't. Vaughan in year 2 if fading, will still be better than any other prop we have on the books. | | | |

What I heard is Vaughan’s family are to return to Australia at the end of this season whatever Vaughan’s next career move is.
Vaughan had a year at Wire tabled, York then offered 2.
Vaughany said to say he’d like to do a spell in the championship!? Which was a weird thing to say, then the York interest came out!
I’ve been very open with my thoughts on Vaughan. When he wants it, he is the best prop in SL.
I can count all those times on one hand. His poor discipline has cost us more games than his good performances has won us.
He can go for me, far more consistent options in the NRL and with more years than a 35 year old.
Anyways, we’re talking to a prop at Canberra Raiders already.
From what I’m hearing, Vaughany is as good as gone to York.
Ps, this site iOS mobile stability still sucks and that’s why I seldom post anymore.
