KIWI VETERAN EYES RETURN TO NRL​

Former Kiwi international Elijah Taylor wants to return Down Under to finish his career in the NRL.

An experienced forward with more than 200 top-grade games to his name at the Warriors, Panthers, Tigers and Salford, 32-year-old Taylor is a tackling dynamo and a fine role model off the field.

He has played the past two seasons with Salford, where he has captained the club, and has several Super League clubs chasing him but would prefer to return to the NRL to finish his career.

"I feel I still have something to offer and would love to come back to the NRL," Kiwi-born Taylor told me.

Taylor isn't your average footballer - he is training to become a commercial airline pilot once his playing days are over.

I'd say yes; he gave us great service and we are lacking in his position. Deserves to retire a Tiger!

I would say no because even though he tries hard he has little impact during the game and knows how to get penalised more than most.We need grunt and impact and he has neither

We are always in a position to pick and choose. Just coz you have hit the panic button and are now thinking that average old lodge is our saviour, well that is just plain ridiculous thinking. How many finals did he get us to when he was last here. Wait while I google it.

I did not make any such insinuation. You did from me saying I don’t want him. And I think it’s plainly obvious why. But you and a couple of others can keep on getting upset coz someone has a different opinion. I will stick to mine. So you can call me ridiculous or say I know nothing about football and blah blah. But it’s still a No to lodge for me. But hey let’s get the band back together. Hopa, Simona, Tandy, JT, Packer they should make all the diff.

Yes you did as your previous post clearly shows so own the absolutely ridiculous thing you both said and tried imply. You claimed that Lodge never lead us to a finals whilst he was here as a rookie which no one claimed despite your absurd attempt at shifting the argument.

And if you think Lodge is average with 125m per game and bending the line, then I can’t imagine what you think of our joke of a pack. Not to mention that the Roosters don’t seem to think he’s average but I’ll let you keep deluding yourself.

That’s fine that it’s a no Lodge from you. But be honest as to the reason why which is that you think your personal experiences should dictate which player the club signs regardless of what they can contribute to the team.

You are correct to point out that a player with Lodge's capability is something we miss ATM.
But, remember that Lodge was a rejected by the Storm, WT, Broncos, and Warriors. When he was with the WT ha was arrested and charged in the US for his violent behaviour and resisting the police.
I found it interesting that the NRL close their moral eyes on Lodge, and at the same time attack and cancel Falau. The NRL certainly do not know how to spell HYPOCRACY!

To be fair, Lodge wasn’t rejected by Storm and Tigers because of his ability but because of off field incidents (Bellamy car park incident and the New York rampage) and the Broncos was more about salary cap. And he requested his release from warriors to move back home.

The guy is a massive asshole and the NRL are absolutely hypocrites. But he’s here and if he can improve your team, then do it.

100%. You’ve got fools on here wanting to pass on players like Lodge because they think their personal experiences is more important than what’s best for the club .

Or you’ve got the morons who want to pass on players like A Critchon because the want to put their faith in our juniors, none of which will likely achieve even half of what A Critchon has.

Coincidentally, a lot of these people also think the club can do no wrong and it’s always the coaches fault. Bunch of simpletons whose footy knowledge wouldn’t fill an egg cup

How do you know they are not board members?

Not for the NRL side, but get him around the organisation and into a NSW Cup contract. Great role model for the kids.
 
Tackling machine I just wonder after he left did our defence get worse than when he was with us. , could be a cheap back up for injurys and solid help for the young guys , nice guy as well met him couple times

Good luck to him but he took some serious head knocks over the years.

I couldn’t be bothered with your blah blah but it’s about quality people. If you don’t understand that then that’s on you. And don’t say I said bs when I didn’t.

Of course you can’t be because you don’t have a leg to stand on but that’s okay.

Don’t make me bring up the other posts, you’ve embarrassed yourself enough. You literally said that Lodge didn’t lead us to any finals while here. While he was a damn rookie. Just stop.

I'd take him back- at very least to the 30 man squad as back up. Defensive tyro and pretty mobile. Agree he gives a few penalties though. For the right place he would be a worthy team squad member.
