Yep like above posters are saying you don't play 100 first grade games and 10 tests by being a chump. Hope to see him in the team.

Dene Halatau has played over 230 NRL games and 15 Tests and he isn't far from being chump material
Lets hope he is a massive upgrade on Dene 😛ray:
If happy doesn't like u you're dirt..unlike Nathan 'Renouf' Milone…
If Taylor can match the value Grant has bought to the Wests Tigers we'll be doing OK...Elijah Taylor was very impressive in the residents game on the weekend his work rate in defence is far and away that of most of our current Pack...His lines in attack and ball work wasn't to shabby either...
If he can take some of the workload off Farah all the better for us

Dene's prime was a 12 week period in 2005 :laughing:

Dene's been massive for the club since we brought him back , hey ??
3 decent (and I mean decent , not good ) games at best

It's going to get harder and harder to get into our NRL side and we'll have some good players running around in State Cup. The extra competition for spots can only be a good thing and I'm hoping that, as time goes on and as I've said before, there won't be any shame attached to playing in our State Cup side.

One of the best signings we've had for a long time. Great defender and plenty of class. So glad we were patient and didn't blow our money in desperation months ago.

I hope Taylor comes to our club with the same plan as Grant , fresh Start and wants to play first grade , if he gets back to his best it will only be all positive for the club , he defends well and if you stop teams putting on points then half the battle is won , we have players that can produce points , I don't think he will play this next game but the one after I can see him on the bench
Grant and Taylor could be our best buys for a while

Playing Taylor this week is a priority this is a big game for the team .. Win this one then Newcastle at Cambo ,roll into the Origin period and things could be very different within the month .Bums on seats alone on Sunday with a positive addition to the team is a positive as well,interesting to see how JT approaches this.

I agree this is a chance for JT to show he has some smarts about him when it comes to team selection. What he does with Elijah and how he fills in the fullback position are 2 things I'm waiting to see come 5pm today.

Hope Grant is right. We really needed another experienced forward.
@happy tiger said:
Well FTWIT, I agree Happy. I would straight out swap Taylor for Dene. I doubt that will happen, but ignoring the age/energy difference they are similar size and playing style by the looks?
Dropping Dene out of the team would allow us to put a bigger player on the bench.

The signing of Grant and ET is the sort of recruitment this club should have been doing for years instead of trying to find a diamond in the garbage bin policy we have had for years. This team is one class centre and maybe a winger away from a very good roster
