Always gave it his all for us.
If thats the way he finishes up with us, respectfully, that is a very Elijah Taylor way to go out. Putting his body on the line defending like a beast....

I'm honestly surprised he hasn't played more first grade than what he has this year. He should have been ahead of a few others that were selected consistently. It'd be a shame if his career ends this way. I'd love to see him go to England and win the man of steel.

Yeah, he made a tackle on the first of a new set which is the one that rocked him, staying on his knees for a few seconds before being back in the defensive line on remote control for a couple, then getting involved in another tackle on the fourth and then going behind the line with his hands on hips for a while as the ball was turned over. In the spilt second that I saw him on the sidline with the trainers did not look good.
I love Elijah Taylor and hope we can arrange a defensive coaching gig for him - he's been a cornerstone in our defence since he joined. The fact he always made his way back in the team is a real testament to the type of player he is. Always found him a true professional.

I agree with you, and this is 100% tongue in cheek, but you wouldn't want "cornerstone of WTs defence on your resume"

Madge reckoned he copped a knock on the chin and was fine after the game. Didn't look good to me but hopefully he pulls up well today.
Yeah he was off with the fairies, I'm not sure he'll pass the concussion protocol in time for next weekend.
Hope he's alright, I've always liked ET. He's always competed out there and always given 100% in our jersey.

If you want our boys to all retire at 25 from repeated concussions.
Great defenders but wow they have both really been knocked around.
Obviously tonight is all about the two club legends but Elijah Taylor deserves a lot of thanks for everything he’s done at the club
When he first joined us a few years ago he improved us massively. His defence and ball playing at lock often helped us win games and he was a key leader in our squad.
As he got older and slowed down a little being a smaller forward lead to his performances slowing down but no matter what he battled through everything and gave 100% effort every time he was on the field
Never shied away from doing the tough stuff never complained about being dropped, always did his best to improve himself as a player even in his older years and a great leader at the club and a great example of how to be a professional and hard working player.
On behalf of all Wests Tigers fans, thank you Elijah for everything you’ve done for the club. Personally I’m very sad to see you go ❤️

If everyone played to the max of their ability like ET every week, we would be playing finals football most years...thanks ET love your work
Well said @JoshColeman99.
While tonight felt a little emotional knowing it was well and truly the end of an era, it also brought closure to the career of a player I've always respected since his signing.
I remember the very first interview he gave in our colours and it was honestly the first sign of any professionalism from one of our players in such a long time. It was such a tough period for fans at that time.
To me, he exemplified what was required at the club.
Thanks for everything Elijah, your service and leadership never went unnoticed and wish you all the best!!
