Dragon party

[globaleagle]

A farcical loophole will allow exiled Dragons Zac Lomax and Daniel Alvaro to serve their one-match bans while they are forced into quarantine in Queensland for refusing to sign legal paperwork in the wake of Paul Vaughan’s Covid-breaking house party.

It can also be revealed the two won’t be docked any further pay despite choosing to sit out a further two weeks on what is effectively now an all-expenses paid holiday.

The St. George Illawarra Dragons have wasted little time securing a replacement for recently axed prop Paul Vaughan.

The joint venture announced on Monday that it had signed Warriors forward Jamayne Taunoa-Brown to a short-term deal commencing immediately.

Taunoa-Brown will join the Dragons on a loan basis for the next three weeks, allowing the Red V to replenish its stocks as Covid-19 sanctions decimate its playing roster.

The Dragons welcomed the 24-year-old to training on Monday, with the view to including him in the 17 to face the Sea Eagles this Friday.

Or the lowest level of truth telling: preface their statement with "To be honest"

Or drop below the level of truth altogether and use the old favourite "I don't recall".

​

Paul Vaughan started a Dragons Party with all his gullible friends
bbq smoke and loud music flowed all over the neighbours fence
People heard from miles around . That something was wrong was going on
Police were called and Pauls 800k contract was gone

But it's all right now, Vaughan has learned his lesson well.
You see, he could not please any one, and could not help himself

And now come the apologies:

‘We didn’t think it would be a drama’: Dragons lament weekend at Vaughany’s

Josh McGuire has expressed regret after he was one of several Dragons to break COVID-19 protocols and spoke of what happened when police attended Paul Vaughan’s BBQ.

www.smh.com.au

“We did understand [the rules] and can’t sit here and say we didn’t understand. We were in Shellharbour, a long way away from everything that was happening. The decision going to the barbecue everyone made, and at the end of the day we didn’t think it would be a drama and we wouldn’t get caught.”

“As soon as the police rocked up we knew we did the wrong thing. Some chose to avoid the police. I wouldn’t say anyone fled.”

The last is a cracker seeing Dufty ran the 5km back to his home.

I guess they don't care if anyone believes them and now they've done what he club asked so they've moved on.

Lomax is injured. How can he possibly serve a suspension while injured. That is zero penalty.

 

[pt73]

I totally agree but I think Dylan Walker served his Pizzagate suspension when he was injured.

I can't see the RLPA or the clubs ever agreeing to change that.

Happens regularly and it would be impossible to enforce consistently

IIRC Brett Stewart got a 1-match suspension from the Battle of Brookie in 2011 but it was inconsequential as he was out injured for the following match anyway.

I think he only got a $10k fine, no suspension.

They basically got off scott free - a ready-made young prop parachuted in.

They certainty don’t look under strength this week.

It's all about the ratings.

We were in Shellharbour, a long way away from everything that was happening.

This is what p*sses me off more than anything, as a Shellharbour resident. Yes, we ARE a long way from any areas where community transmission has been happening, which is all the more reason we don’t need these douche-canoes from out of the area treating us as a party venue.

They might be in a bubble, but that doesn’t mean their household members are; we’ve also already had players in the bubble (and not breaking any rules) potentially exposed because of positive cases visiting their local supermarket. Regional areas don’t have major hospitals on every street corner either - we don’t need an outbreak here!

Agree they haven’t done what many thought.

 

[Stewbojevic]

Agree they haven’t done what many thought.

Yea they must back themselves against us potentially without Turbo, so they’ve picked a strong side

 

[ManEagle]

Yea they must back themselves against us potentially without Turbo, so they’ve picked a strong side

Let's hope we smash them and they waste their privilege fielding a string line up and then suffer in a game they do stack with suspended players.

The Dragons forward delivered the statement through the club’s website after the infamous barbecue at Paul Vaughan’s house which threw the NRL into turmoil.

Now that's a solid apology and heartfelt too except it was on the club's website.

Did any of them apologise live like Vaughan did ?

Did he comment on his cowardly actions of hiding under a bed?
