Dave Taylor : Sun Mar 18, 2018 5:50 pm  

Hi guys, got told over the weekend that a super league team are looking to bring Dave Taylor back to super league, will this be a good move or is he past it ?

The problem isn't whether he is past it. It is whether he can keep his head down and behave himself.

He could've been one of the best of his generation, but is a liability away from the field. He's basically the Aussie Gareth Hock.

I do wonder if it's Leeds looking to sign him given their injury problems at prop.

it's not leeds but a team not far away

Well Hull have just pocketed a sum from Cas and they need a new forward...
Not sure how they look in terms of quota spots though.

Re: Dave Taylor : Sun Mar 18, 2018 6:14 pm  

Hudds are the only ones who have cap and quota space aren't they?

Leeds do with Galloway's retirement.

We would be mental to bin Liam Watts for his off field behaviour and replace him with Taylor.

Faraimo
Talanoa
Tuimavave
Kelly
Paea
Minicheillo
Manu

Thats our overseas contingent. Not sure which quota they all fit into, or if any are on dispensations etc. Anyway, if someone is looking at Taylor I'm pretty sure it wont be us.

It would also contradict Radford's ethos of not having any trouble makers/Players that don't toe his line in the camp too

Taylor with his head on straight and realising that this is his last ever chance in the game could be worth a punt "IF" the contract was watertight and a one strike indiscretion and he's on his way

I'd be surprised if Gary Hetherington would be interested in him tbh but I could see a club like the Giants being interested

Not entirely sure it is against his ethos. He signed Kelly and Miloudi who have both had problems. He seems to be willing to give a chance and judge people by how they act under him. I still think it would be a mistake though, although if he ever gets his act together there is an outstanding player in there.
