Vaughan seems like the kind of player to lead by example on the pitch. The BBQ incident back in Australia may have tainted his ability to speak with authority when it comes to being a leader, but he always plays like one.


Dufty and McGuire were at that BBQ too. It was a Covid breach and a draconian reaction by the Australian police and club (although Vaughan was on his 3rd warning).
Not like they were vexed up in a strip club at 3am on the day of a game. They can do that when they arrive here :D

Yeah the powell out thing is boring as F now, he's come in, shook things up and changed the squad for 2023 for the better. 2022 was a bad off season that's now gone. 2023 will be a good season. We now have a big affective forward pack who are proven and good players, so the negativity towards them is bizzarre. Like Kinetic said the spine we have is quality so negativity towards them is also bizzarre. We have some pure speed and skill in Dufty, Thewlis, Ashton, Williams and Daz Clark can shift, and wrench is rapid. Willams behind a good pack is superb and we have a good pack next year, Drinkwater is a controlling half and will take pressure off Williams. Our centres are NOT bad players and compliment our attack and defense. and we've gone from no real leader this year to having 4 in and around the pitch. All i see is positivity for 2023 and nothing else.

I think a reasonable about of cynicism is inevitable. We’ve had so many false dawns, excitement over signings that have turned out to be utter bobbins, and there are so many unknowns/reliance on lots of new personnel hitting the ground running.

All that said, I’m really looking forward to next season and (hopefully) seeing us be competitive again.

I’m very content with Ashton having Ratchford as his centre.
Ashton will be my top try scorer bet for 2023.

KFP confirming in the guardian that a new 7 is expected soon. Cap space remains for a centre but expect to start the year Ratchford at 4, good at least to have the cap space available.

Wardle deal didn’t work due to the players Hudds wanted in return, apparently.

Only centre who’s British that may be available that springs to mind is Griffin @ Hull FC, and wouldn’t really want to go there.

Wardle would have been a good signing, but the deal had to mutually beneficial.

No point in for example allowing them to sign Wrench, or Thewlis for us to sign Wardle.

You can never be 100% certain that all our new signings actually turn up.
We might sign a UK Centre now but regret it later (as choice looks limited) if we suddenly got a spare overseas space available.

Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.

Re: 2023 Squad : Thu Nov 10, 2022 10:55 am  
My glass is half full at present, the World Cup especially Women’s and wheelchair have reignited my enthusiasm for the game.
“We’re going to win the League, we’re going to win the League and are you going to believe us…”
(Ok perhaps I am getting carried away as off on a big adventure on Sunday)

Hopefully Vaughan "got the big calls right" like Boris so we can let him off breaking a few rules here and there.
