Our back row will be very lacking if he decides to go back to New Zealand

This is the issue that I see. I really like him as well but you have to workaround his downsides.

ET is like Dallas Johnson used to be for the Storm. Good defender and worker who can use the ball. With big forwards like Packer/Matulino he fits in the middle.
I still believe he can do a job wide but someone like Bodene Thompson is more effective on the right. Either way he's very important to WT and very likely captain.
Elijah Taylor considering Warriors offer -
Elijah Taylor is considering up a two-year deal to remain at the Wests Tigers or a return to New Zealand to take up a contract with the Warriors.
The Daily Telegraph is reporting that the Warriors are keen to bring Taylor back to the club where he made his debut n 2011.

Taylor has a lot of family in New Zealand and they are keen for him to return once his contract with the Wests Tigers finishes at the end of the season.
A delicate family situation though might be enough reason for Taylor to reject the offer from the Warriors and stay with the Wests Tigers.
Taylor’s one-year-old daughter was placed in intensive care earlier this year after suffering a seizure, with doctors telling Taylor he should remain in Sydney.
“I really want to stay,” Taylor told the Daily Telegraph.
“My daughter had an episode at the start of the year. The doctors have advised us to stay in Sydney. It’s a decision based around my daughter’s (wellbeing).
“Hopefully we can sort it out by the end of the week. My family comes first in making decisions; it’s what’s best for my family.”

Im hoping he goes to the Warriors. Its hard to say that because he seems like such a nice bloke, but he offers nothing on the field. I wasn't sold on Marsters but his performances in the centres is an excellent apprenticeship to moving in a spot closer in. I see no benefit in having Elijah at the club when young guys in Marsters, Alioai, Twal and Eisenhuth are outplaying him. Lawrence outplaying him too.

I love his attitude and effort, but if he were to leave we are not really going to miss him.

I see it differently. Did you see the try saving tackle when Cleary busted us open and passed it to someone and who was there chasing to make the tackle - ET.
That saved us a try. He consistently does work like that. If you don't see it I suggest you watch the next game and look for the effort that he makes.

I saw the tackle. It was a great tackle. No one doubts his effort. Its his physicality to back up that effort which is a concern in the modern game. Elijah Taylor in the 80's would have been one of the best locks in the game. But it's not 1980.

I hear what you are stating and sometimes I think the same way in relation to his physicality. He definitely doesn't have enough impact typically on the edge but today I thought he was great.
Maybe a better way to look at it is where does he compare in defence vs offence compared to other players in the team. To me he more than holds his own and he looked good on the edge today. I've also noticed him taking some hospital passes recently and he hangs onto the pill whereas a lot of players would drop it.
I've been thinking it's okay if he goes because on the edge he doesn't have enough impact and we need 3 props in the middle all game but today showed me that he can hold his own on the edge.
Going to be upset in the lead up to Leichhardt…Big part of Cleary's plan..

I hardly ever see him on the field tbh. He reminds me of Alan Tongue a lot - a workhorse, but nothing special. I'd keep him for depth, but Eisenhuth, McQueen, Aloiai, Marsters and even Lawrence all offer more, imo.
