You add him and Edwards to the backrowers we've used so far this year and our depth looks a lot better.

I'm not sure he'll displace Sirro. I'd be looking at playing him off the bench to replace Sue in the middle of the field.

He's not a bench player, you'll get no impact from him. That's part of why he's been squeezed out at the Panthers who have prioritised attacking flair in their second row by going with Cartwright, Peachey and Merrin (for offloads and prop-like hit ups). Unlike the Panthers (currently playing with a spine of Will Smith, Martin, Soward and Wallace) we have plenty of attacking flair elsewhere in our squad.

You have mate and this isn't the first time someone has called you out on being a grump.

Nah I think you should just stop being such a cliche mate.
You've gone through these phases as we've watched you grow up.
Youngster - Naive, learning, wants to know everything, overeager … everyone bagging you out were being ridiculous
Teenager - Knows everything, you're not my dad ... you're being ridiculous
Next step is where the rest of us are at, apathetic adult, what's in the fridge... and you'll be embarrassed about how you're acting now. Just stop being such a grump mate. And while you are typing up your ragepost response to this comment, reconsider it before hitting submit. The advice is sound. What would future Milky say.

He would be better than the Taylor we currently have.

We need a power forward like the idiot we let go to manly and not another small forward

I'd be happy for any first grade backrower starting next week, it's our biggest depth concern for mine. We're already out of second rowers and it's only march.
Also this is a Mole article, so it's all conjecture. Someone at RLW sees that a bloke isn't getting much game time and is off contract, and it's easy to name a couple of clubs that could use a backrower. No doubt Taylor's manager has sniffed around every club from Campbelltown to Catalan to see who's interested, so RLW's guaranteed to be half right whatever they print.

There is very little downside to signing Taylor.
It seems a smart addition if possible.

I will believe it when it happens, so many rumours surrounding player movements that only a fraction ever are true. But here's hoping anyway!!

Well it's not so much a rumour that we're in talks with him, the rumour would be that we're favourites to sign him.
By the sounds of it a decision would be made one way or another pretty soon. Either Panthers say you're not going anywhere this season, or they agree to what's in the best interests of the the player.
There's 4-5 interested clubs it seems, so we're in with a shot but there's no point talking about it to death until it happens. I'd say he'd start at lock with Sue back to the bench as an impact prop/lock. Still too many mistakes in Sue.

I think Sue has been our best forward all season.
Taylor would either push Sironen to the bench, or be first player off the bench.
