from what I was told, Vaughan had some escalators in his contract, Stuart knew we were over invested in the front row as it was and he favoured Junior and Boyd over Vaughan, so he was kind of being iced out as it was
Vaughan didn't react well to that, perhaps understandably so, but his actions hurt him further with the coach and key players, from there is became a pretty bad situation for Vaughan and some... issues, haha to say the least some issues occurred around that mysterious 18th man/Jeff Lima in street clothes situation and at that point bridges where burnt and there was no turning back
I love junior and Boyd, and we're going to be just fine with those two anchoring out front row, but no question in my mind that Vaughan at his best is better than both of them and a top 5 front rower in the game
It's sad to see a local Gungahlin kid like him not playing football for our club
