Quote SFW="SFW"Plenty of talk around the unprofessional way we have gone about some if not all of these 'negotiations'. It's no secret the amount of work Wigan do around this in comparison and whilst they aren't reinventing the wheel it obviously has an impact, particularly on impressionable young players and their families. Hopefully some lessons learned.
There are some whispers around Sambou maybe having second thoughts but the fact they haven't been chosen in the squad for West Hull is telling. I've seen and heard some hilarious flipping of opinions on Vaughan from both sides since Monday, I think he's going to have a good eventually. May lack size currently but can easily see him being a useful, grafting back rower in the Isa mould as you mention above. His attitude and fitness are first class.'"
It's always the case when players sign elsewhere. Fans of the current club gravitate towards 'he's not all that anyway' and fans of the new club say 'he's going to be class' without knowing a great deal about him.
It feels like Vaughan has everything going for him apart from some physical attributes and you then need to have that 'I'll prove them wrong' mentality that guys like Bateman have lived on. I sense this lad might have it but we'll see. One thing I would say is that I think it'll be second row he'll need to make a career in. That sort of 'not quick enough for centre/not big enough for second row' player never make it at centre.
