| Quote ="Captain Hook"Wasn’t the reason SB left Souths because he disagreed with the head coach giving preferential treatment to a star player? This would certainly resonate with what’s happened with Vaughan and Musgrove.
2 further points on this
a) I’m stretching the definition of “star player” to include Musgrove
and
b) I have no idea what has happened just adding 2+2 in a WWWE wrestler mathematical manner and comining up with an answer (which is of course Tuesday).'"
Yes, but tomorrow is Wednesday.

If he "stunk the place out" he was not alone. Still think the term "stunk the place out" is harsh ... but it is a forum & we all have different views & standards.'"
Ha ha. Yes my standards are low but then I am a "fan". If the term offends you, or his parents, or any other delicate souls, feel free to replace with "sub par performance".
Shame really as there is a solid prop in there somewhere if he can keep his head.

I believe it is true. He kicked off after not starting the Saints game hence why he never started against HKR. He’s in Aus now on holiday.

Perfectly sensible starting him on the bench given he’d had 3 weeks off, if it’s true, he needs to reign it in, regardless of whether he’s our best prop (Yates has probably held that mantle since he got here anyway imo).

| No one player is bigger than the club. If his Ego makes him believe he is an automatic starter and then throws his toys out the pram when it does not go his way then I wish him well for his future.
We have been here done that with players trying to run the club look how that turned out, we only need players that get behind the club and what the club is trying to achieve. They may not always get it right but it’s about the team and not an individual.
All this assumes the stories are true of course and if so I for one will be disappointed if he goes but at the cost of disharmony no thanks.

| I really hope this isn't true. When he is on the pitch he is arguably our best prop forward.

My wish was for Vaughan to play like he did when he first arrived against the easy teams, (he had a habit of getting himself suspended for games agains the big clubs during school holiday periods).
If we don’t get that, he can go with my blessing. He’ll be 34 next season anyway.
I’d like to know why Vaughan managed to become so in-match fit during the 3 weeks paid holiday he had!?
I expected him to be ripping it up like a lion vs Saints and KR, all fresh from action…
He wasn’t even ripping up dandelions!

| Re Bullock.
I don’t think there is a fallout with him.
I think what’s happened here is, we signed Yates and Bateman, and we probably contacted Salford to loan them a player.
My guess is we offered Salford one or two of our younger fringe players, but Rowley said ‘no, but we’ll have Bullock!’
Hence the bizarre timing where we’re extend his contract one week, and loan him out a week later.
I’m guessing Salford tied Wire’s arm up behind our back, so we had to agree to let them take Bullock instead of Wood or Holroyd or Whitehead, so we could clear cap space for Bateman.
I don’t believe Bullock just fell out of favour, or suddenly became a poor player in 7 days. The cap and shortness of time leaving Chambers with no other choice but to agree.
I think Bullock was always going to be our bench prop or 18th man throughout the remainder of the season, maybe even ahead of Musgrove.
I think he will be back with the team next season.
I don’t know this for sure, but it’s the only way I can make sense out of it.

| Any allegedly falling out between coach and player, the club has to back the coach regardless of the player. But it might the coach going before the player if what I got told is correct. A certain Mr Bennett is making moves to bring Burgess back to South’s.

I believe Sam would not break his commitment to us. Lets see.

Whilst I do agree with you Vaughan has been disappointing this year.. He's 34 in April and it remains to be seen whether we've had his best years out of him and whether he is on the decline. I wouldn't be too bothered if Vaughan went as long as we bought in a suitable replacement. If you offered me the choice of losing Vaughan or Harrison, I'm picking Vaughan.

Mr Bennett could move heaven and earth for Sam but he's going nowhere. My mate bumped into him, Gleeson and Gardner in town on Saturday night. He was going on about how excited he is for next year already, he said he can't wait to prove the doubters wrong and we'll be even better.

| From what I know of the argument Burgess’ standpoint is not one from a man on the verge of leaving.

Player exchange deal between Wire and Huddersfield for a prop forward that they have signed from the NRL for the 2025 season?
Would give Wire an extra quota spot too.

The trio were enjoying the delights of the Kings Head and rightly so.
