I'd love to have him playing for the Tigers. Souths proabably can't afford him now they have signed Teo.
He stated in NRL on Fix last night that he would be going to the Titans next year and ghat an story to the contrary was rubbish!

That's right, the journo told him what he was going to write and when Taylor told him that wasn't true and he was going to the GC, the journo told him he was writing the story regardless, at least that's Taylor's version and he wasn't worried about what might happen to the Titans financially so looks like he has some assurances perhaps?

Giant South Sydney forward Dave Taylor has been branded a liar after denying reports he is looking to back out of his $1.6m deal with financially-stricken Gold Coast to stay at South Sydney.
>
Speaking on NRL on Fox on Wednesday night, Taylor said a report in Rugby League Week suggesting he wanted out of the Titans deal 'was not true', accusing the magazine of running the story even after he told them there was no substance to it.
>
"Mate, none of that's true," Taylor said.

"I got a message the other day from the bloke who wrote it and he said, 'I'm going to write the story'.
>
"I said 'none of it's true' and he goes, 'I'm going to write it anyway'."
>
But senior RLW journalist Tony Adams told Sportal on Thursday that there had been no contact from Taylor.
>
"We sent a text to Dave Taylor asking for his response and never got a reply," Adams explained.
>
"For him to say he called us back, denied the story and we ran with it anyway is just a blatant lie.
>
"Even his manager (Col Davis) has admitted he's contacted the ARLC over the Titans' future so they're obviously concerned about the club's financial plight.
>
"We're pretty disappointed Taylor has come out and said what he did.
>
"It's not the magazine's go to make things up."
>
Souths have all but moved on from Taylor, signing Brisbane's Ben Te'o as his replacement on a three-year deal starting next season.
>
But the Rabbitohs still have room to move under their salary cap for 2013 and could find a way to accommodate Taylor if he was freed from his Gold Coast commitments.
>
The Titans cannot register Taylor's contract until after Round 13, giving the Bunnies time to renegotiate.

The wide-running back-rower has been in devastating form this season, winning his first Test jumper and spearheading Souths' rise into the top eight.
