OFFICIAL Elijah Taylor [Discussion]

[Moh]

So much respect for this guy.

Generally underrated for what he has done in his career.

Hope he calls it an end, as those head knocks are coming too often. Could transition well in some defensive coaching.

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

I am sad he is leaving. I really think he was simply born in the wrong era. 90% of his career took place when the game demanded size. Every coach wanted a large lock forward to play as an extra prop. If he played in the 1980s he would have been a legend of the game. Now, the game is actually trending back to his style of player. If he were ten years younger he would have been a gun.

Thank you Elijah. I appreciate all of your efforts for Wests Tigers. Wishing you the best for the future.

Never forget this..


 

[PJ_]

All the best. Never shirked his job like some other pretenders.

 

[Tim Sheens]

Tough bugger.

Certainly is. Best example of that I can remember is when Sam Burgess whacked him and split his head open and he jumped back up and kept running to grab another 10 metres.

God yes, forgot about that. We bashed then that night i think

Loved when he whacked the other burgess in another game too. Elijah did a lot of good stuff for us

As he did again tonight, getting us not only back in the game, but ahead and well on top when he was replaced.

Well said, great clubman who always gave his all.

Never forget this..


That photo right there just exemplifies what Elijah is all about. He’ll play through anything and give his all.

 

[hobbo1]

Gave his all every game ..

Cheers Elijah 🍻

 

[WT2K]

Great clubman. Underappreciated by many I feel. All the best for the future, Elijah.

 

[Fade.To.Black]

Yep, wholehearted gutsy player who always stood up to the test. Will be a big loss around the club, he lead by example.
Always remember a few years ago at Penrith in an important game (might've been a finals game) when ET, Te Maire Martin and Tyrone Peachey were all seriously injured and out for the year yet the dressing room cam showed them all laughing and hamming it up. It might've been the green whistle talking but that endeared those blokes to me for their spirit.
Congratulations on a solid career ET, it was an honour to have you as one of ours for a few seasons👍. Appreciate your effort and your courage mate.

 

[krissy]

Tough player and always represented the club well both on and off the field.
Thank you for your efforts at Wests Tigers and I wish you the best for you and your family in the future.

 

[hsvjones]

Great player for us and a big thank you to ET for everything he has done..

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

good solid player thank you ET

 

[happy_tiger]

Do we actually know he is leaving ....

 

[rustycage]

Massive respect for ET. His contribution was enormous. Loved his work.

 

[Telltails]

Played great when given an opportunity this season. Did his job and could never question his commitment.

 

[JC99]

Do we actually know he is leaving ....

Was confirmed by the club on that little paper thing. He himself said he wasn’t being offered. Contract either

 

[TheDaBoss]

Definition of a club player through and through

 

[bbobb]

I would have kept him for on a 12 month contract. With this faster version of the game, I quite like the idea of having a defensively sound, smaller ball playing lock. I also think his off field contributions with a young pack would be valuable

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Has copped a lot of flak over the years, but has always been one of my favourite players. A little disappointed he couldn’t get another year as we could do worse. Great clubman.
