OFFICIAL Elijah Taylor [Discussion]

I know it's hard to fully grasp these matters as the RL media is so poor at reporting things accurately, but the NRL's CBA really does seem a dog's breakfast.
 
i thought he was great in the first couple of weeks being used as a ball player.

then his role changed to being a conventional forward.

hes a tackling machine for sure- but what role does the coach want him to play in the future - i'm sure he'd like to know too.
but if resigning him took away money to resign the big three,id let him walk.

True that. We need to allow him to play to his strengths. Adds a whole new dimension to our team. In saying that we need to play to all of our team's strengths!
 
The plot thickens…..If Et doesn't resign it means

1....got a better offer elsewhere like rugby
2....Farah's is not budging
3....The club has failed to come to a agreement with another club re who pays what and how much of Farah's contract.

Love to see Taylor stay, 50 tackles a match,handy ball skills and a around good guy, but there is always another plater out there looking for a go

Who knows, i'm trying to stay positive that it's just a rumour. It hasn't been by coincidence that we've becoming a better team since he joined us. Finding someone who makes 50+ tackles a game and has strong attacking attributes is not an easy thing to find.
 
So a sponsor says we're targeting Fensom and Vaughn and not ET now according to Wacko. While he's better than many of the other rumour site its' still just random speculation.

Would a sponsor really be the first to know the detailed ins and outs of recruitment? I doubt it.

to be fair, sponsors can be balls deep in the contract negotiations, even though its not kosher, clubs are working with the sponsors to raise the TPA's to lure players in.
 
If we were to pick up Fensom and Vaughn, they wouldn't be the worst signings. Fence will make 50 tackles a game, so he'd pick up ET's work in that regard. Not really much attack in him.

It's not just the amount of work Taylor does though it's how he goes about it and how he controls the ruck and the line…plus the whole attacking ability that Fensom is devoid of. The Knights can take Fensom.

Vaughn would be too expensive because there are plenty of clubs that could at least use him in their prop rotation and some that would be starting him.
