Poor old Jason Taylor is finally getting a chunk of what he deserves as a human being. If you think I am being harsh, lets look at some history.
At Wests in the early 90's, that poor little wimp of of a player did not appreciate the coaching of one of the greats of the modern era (Warren Ryan). His ranting and raving to the board contributed towards the downfall of Warren Ryan's tenure at the club and left the club that had nurtured him for dead. Jason Taylor set a precedent for player power beating rugbly league club management. Taylor got his way over a weak-kneed board.
When people look up player power pioneer in the dictionary or wikipedia, Jason Taylor's photo will be there.
The whinger decided to go to another club with weak management (North Sydney Bears). That club had a great coach (Peter Louis). Peter Louis coached the club through its finest period in its history.
Jason Taylor's form began to wane diring his Bears stint. Louis wanted to drop him to reserve grade. Jason Taylor did not try to knuckle down in reserve grade to work on his game. He took action in the ONLY way he knows how....act like a workers union boss and demand that Louis get sacked.
Those "strong" managers at North Sydney took Jason's word over one of the greatest coaches the club ever had. Peter Louis continued to hang around as a statue while Jason Taylor played captain/selector/coach/chief exectutive. Even Louis has gone on the record saying that Taylor coached the joint while he was there. A case of the inmates running the asylum. Taylor was king maniac.
As we all know, the club went downhill from there. If Norths had stronger managers, they might still be around in the NRL.
Enter 2008. Taylor is now getting some karma. There have been rumblings from Souths players about the coach. Souths react by getting John Lang to manage the side. It is Taylor's turn to do his impersonation of a statue. Suths need to go a step further and sack the wanker. Richardson - Lang are proven performers. Let them work their magic while Taylor can go to the coaching graveyard.
