yup feel the exact same, ever since i found out we only gothim for this year

sounds like he took a pay cut to play FG and will look to make a mark then take bigger dollars wherever he can. fair enough to him, but we will likely lose out in the long term
 
He seems like such a level headed and down to earth guy that he would be genuinely grateful for the opportunity to re-ignite his career with us. Provided we offer him a respectable offer for future seasons I could see him staying, even if slightly more was on offer elsewhere.

If there's a big disparity that might stretch the friendship though.

We need to re-sign him ASAP as his market value is only increasing with every game he plays. We know what he offers us and how much he's benefiting the club. Sign him up and sort the rest out later. Other less essential players can be moved on if necessary.

I think Happy a lot will depend on what Farah does, because I doubt we have the cap space to match the offers that will come ET's way. Anyway fingers crossed we find a way
 
Interesting how he gives the coaches plenty of raps and talks how everyone has a say in game plans. Now this doesn't sound like the JT that a lot of people talk about. Just maybe thing inside Camp Concord are a lot better than a lot of people think

No Happy your right, it was just a bit of propaganda from the club to try and lift JT's profile with the fan base. In actual fact the players all have voodoo dolls of JT and are sticking needles into it. The old saying never believe a word you read of course unless you want to!!!

Anyway all jokes aside, ET is a must signing even if they have to pay overs

Couldn't agree more. He adds another dimension to our attack and is great in defence. Best signing we've made in a long time.

That is my take on it as well, he is loyal even to his own detriment, he stuck it out at Penrith even though they were clearly trying to make him leave, he will stay with a reasonable offer.
 
It's funny how things work out. Had Taylor stayed with the Panthers another couple of weeks he'd have been a walk up to replace Segeyaro. They'd be missing him now.

It feels like the Tigers finally found a replacement for Liam Fulton. Only took two years.
 
please stay elijah taylor. youve been a breath of fresh air, and so desperately needed. Wests tigers management, do whatever you can to keep this guy, defends all day and looks good with the ball in hand and so humble. best signing we have had for a very long time.
 
He will stay
Leadership role , loves the young guys and their ability , has a direct job to do , enjoying his football ( that's abig one ) seems to like the coaching staff , got a first grade gig with us , like the idea of player input , I would be very suprised if we aren't already putting something together for the next 2 years , also he may feel we are on the up , we may not make the 8 but we will be close , if we do crack a top 8 spot it will help even more as he seems to be a positive person so he may well thin top 6 next season

I'd be surprised if there wasn't already a deal in place when he signed and it's just something the club is keeping up their sleeves for later in the yr as something they can use for more positive news. There could also be a handshake agreement that he'll stay on. I know they aren't worth anything, but in this case i think both parties would be as good as their word. There's no way the club would have signed him without a view to extend. It's not like he was a stop gap signing, the club knew what they were getting. I trust they won't let him go.
 
GRN , agree 100 percent , the club seems to be organising contracts with players we need to keep and you are spot on with further good news later in the season , would be nice to see , a , Tigers scrape into top 8 and More good news Taylor signs on for 2 or 3 more years , just loads the club up with positives
