Anyone notice he did the same thing last night against the Sharks when he scored?

havng not known that he did it to Barba the week before, I was wondering why he did on friday night against the sharks. the sharks player wasnt late in the tackle, nor did he get him high, or contact with knees etc.

has obviously became part of his try celebration routine. what a wanker.

this is just another example of the little things the NRL let go, but all build up to affect the image of the game. the NRL need to crack-down on this sort of shit. celebrating is one thing, but being an unsportsmanlike merkin is another. get the try-scoring team to kick off from 25-metre line instead of half-way or something.

Maybe he was upset that Barba averages more hit ups than he does?

Taylor is reportedly asking coach Lang to be excused from playing now that Burgess and Asotasi are injured - he didn't want to actually have to shoulder the load and run at the big men in the middle.

So what is your point? He may make hit-ups but the stats don't show where he makes those hit-ups or who he runs at...

The fact that he is ranked about 180th in the league in hit-ups is not something I thought you would be wanting to draw to peoples' attention.

I don't give a shit about taylor or how many hitups he does or doesnt make. The poster said he has never seen him make a hitup. Stats say otherwise. People too often make accusations without any evidence which is why they come across as an uninformed idiot.

I did and from memory after scoring the try he snarled at the defender ( who was sprawled on the turf ) and threw the ball with venom onto his face. I think the recipient of his attack was their little full-back, the ugly ogre knows no shame.

If you knew how to read, he said he'd never seen Taylor take a hit up off his own line

He ran over Paul Aiton, a bloke he outweighs by about 40kg, the more I see of Taylor the more I think he's a genetic throwback to the caveman days

He deserves some credit, being that huge and tip toeing along that close to the sideline without going out is quite an athletic feat.

For a bloke his size he is remarkably dexterous. He's a halfback trapped in a big man's body.....got all the skills

I think he'll fire in SOO, amongst players he respects

Playing at Souths is starting to wear away at his passion for the game.


He always has an expression on his face like a genius who has had his Tonka truck taken away

You're right, he does have a bit of a mong look........

It will be interesting if Ricky Stuart can do what he did for Joseph Leilua and get Dave Taylor's career back on track. I actually didn't mind what he did at Souths, he had his moments at the Titans. Neil Henry actually thought Taylor would be a big part of the Titans blueprint when he made the pitch to be head coach, but after one season with Taylor he thought better of it.

Problem for Taylor is the Raiders have so much depth in the forwards, that he might find it hard to get a crack unless injury's take a toll on the team. Taylor is not assured of a contract either he has to prove himself in pre-season training.

To be sentence for cocaine supply next month and the NRL are approving a contract with the Raiders? :rolleyes:

Whilst Loveridge will be out of jail by the time the NRL finishes investigating A Fifita.

Dave "f**king Who" Taylor? Oh....

That guy who played for the Eastern Comets back in about 2009 at Salter Oval, Bundaberg. Ran six metres, went down on his haunches for a minute, attempted one tackle, missed, back to his haunches. Repeat for 80 minutes.

He walked past me going back onto the field for the second half.

Taller than me? No.

I'd say one of his thighs would be almost as big as my torso. Yes.

An NRL potential wrecking machine that went nowhere.

Ricky likes his big men running wider so Taylor's love of parking himself on the edge is probably a plus.
