Who cares ? If he'd signed for Hunslet Hawks....there would be no comments on him, on the Sooper League/NRL terrace would there ! Lower League M62 crap

What do you think?

Are you judging his body shape on your own to come to that conclusion, or is it your wife trying to make you feel good?

This. The dude must have been on some wind-up. Even as a self-confessed fan of his in his early days at the Broncos the Souths & to a lesser extent the Gold coast because the cracks were starting to appear there. I even then thought a change and a new League could see the making of him & was actually excited to see him in SL. But apart from the odd great performance that first year at Catalans how wrong was I. Like I said before personally the lifeline Canberra gave him and he seemed to get in a good place and shape for a bit, it was his last chance at the big time in the NRL imo.

Rumour i've heard is he wil replace Tom Symonds at Huddersfield, they are discussing a settlement deal due to Symonds' constant injury problems.

Wouldn`t be a bad move for Hudds to be fair, the culture/team spirit at the club with Broughy around surely cannot get much worse and they wont miss Symonds as he is never on the field anyway.

Taylor has the quality and potential to rip up Super League, but has repeatedly shown he doesn’t have the right attitude or professionalism. He’s certainly a big risk, if anyone does sign him I’d expect it to be a short term deal.

Re: Dave Taylor : Wed Mar 21, 2018 11:41 pm  

Taylor hasn't shown the ability to 'rip up' any competition for years. He was incredibly dynamic for such a big guy when he first started, but even then couldn't play more than about 10 minutes at a time, and he simply hasn't adjusted the way he tries to play to match the inevitable decline in athleticism. He's one of those players whose highlights reel makes coaches think he's worth the risk, when in fact he's been a fairly useless pudding for much of his career.

Bit like Tony Williams.

Both big puddings. Surely Hudders can't be interested in signing this waster?

Thankfully they've taken most of our wasters of our hands.
