So we have to release 8 players to sign Taylor, how much are we paying him.

I'm done caring about this. It's obvious he's staying, hence him starting pre-season with us, but to have no transparency with us supporters who have been sweating on this for months is disappointing. It won't surprise me if they don't announce anything at all. Makes you wonder how the negotiations for the others will play out.
hahahahaha
You do realise that the Craig Blair quote has been completely misread by whoever (or whatever) michaeldi lornadio is.

You leave yourself open to it when you can't use the correct English. Resign and re-sign mean totally the opposite.

Dumb article, it doesn't make any sense. Do they even have editors these days? I guess any hack can now write a dodgy piece and publish to the web. It looks his sources are people comments in social,media.
Elijah Taylor allegedly announces shock resignation

Published on Nov. 18, 2016
Tigers second-rower Elijah Taylor has allegedly resigned at the Wests Tigers and is on the move to another club.
The rumours have originated from some investigative Reddit users who have discovered a member of the Tigers coaching staff, Craig Blair, replying to fans on Facebook that have questioned why Elijah Taylor is in no pre-season training photographs.
Blair, the Wests Tigers coaching director, has claimed Taylor has resigned and a formal anouncement will be made in the coming days by the club.
Taylor joined the Tigers mid-way through last season after being told by Penrith coach Anthony Griffin that he wasn't aggressive enough.
The former Kiwi international starred for the black and orange and was one of their most promising forwards in the pack.
Mind you, these are only whispers, but the Tigers coaching staff seem pretty confident he will be out the door."

He ain't no monster, which is one of our back row issues. Maybe that's part of why he didn't fit at Penrith, I recall reading they wanted a more aggressive back rower.
I'll be happy for him to stay but part of me also wants a bigger, more aggressive back row too…

I'm with you. We are just about 3 weeks into preseason now and still nothing announced even though he's training with us? They've removed players like Addo Carr from the website but ET is still listed. Some staff member telling fans on Facebook he has signed. It would be nice to know how long we have signed him for etc
When teddy re-signed we all waited for months and months for an official announcement and nothing was ever said so would be disappointed if this is the case again
