EX-NRL players Dave Taylor and Fuifui Moimoi have been reportedly sacked from Canadian rugby league club, the Toronto Wolfpack.
Mirror Sport in the UK reports the duo, plus former England international Ryan Bailey, have left the club following an incident while on a pre-season camp in Portugal.

The five-day camp is at the Colina Verde Golf and Sports Resort, a venue used by a number of high-profile sporting teams.

Toronto issued a brief statement, which read: “Fuifui Moimoi, Ryan Bailey and Dave Taylor have left Toronto Wolfpack by mutual agreement.

“The club thank the players for their efforts and we wish them well in their future careers.”

It’s a massive blow for the Wolfpack who will be playing for promotion into the Super League for the 2019 season.

Taylor, one of the club’s major recruits along with Ashton Sims and Josh McCrone, had only just arrived on a three-year deal worth a reported $1 million.

Moimoi played a key role in their promotion into the second tier this season, while Bailey was recently cleared to play on after winning a case against UK Anti-Doping.

I read the headline and thought: "well, yeah".

Pretty much sums up Taylor.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Didn't play a single game for the Wolfpack and he's already gone for bad behavior.

Dave Taylor, you sure are the yardstick for the most dramatic underwhelming failure that Rugby League has seen.

 

[Emu01]

What a fool Taylor must be. He was been sacked by the Titans, Catalans in France now the Wolfpack in Canada.

Not even 1 game wonder what they did wrong. Probably a drug and alcohol bender breaking curfews I’d say.

 

[beave]

Only Dave Taylor could get sacked for his new club before ever playing a game for them.

He’ll be pulling beers in some small town in CQ soon enough I’d say, he’d probably struggle to do that......

 

[butchmcdick]

I don't think he'll be making a million over the next three years now that's for sure

Welcome to first grade rugby league Toronto

Packer says hello.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

What a complete waste of talent.

 

[King hit]

With the talent he has got someone will always give him a spot. Lazy f**k who never delivers.

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Dave Taylor was sacked by Catalans Dragons, along with Todd Carney, after they went out together on a drinking binge in Perpignan and were discovered asleep in the street by the local gendarmerie.

 

[no name]

I don’t know what they did but the mind boggles as to why you’d do something to risk the gig that DT found himself in.

I’ll reserve judgement until further facts are revealed (if at all), but it was a pretty plum gig he had.

 

[POPEYE]

The Wolfpack are showing they mean business, maybe they've realised there are better players to be had with the money on offer

 

[Danish]

And here I was hoping we'd be able to get a canadian version of the "Dave Taylor is training the house down and ready for a big season" fluff piece to add to the broncos, souths, raiders, and various pommy versions

 

[Canard]

To think I'd copped flak from LU members over the years for calling him Carl Webb II.

Seems he could only dream of a career as "successful' as Carl's now.

At least the single play in origin that Carl Webb is remembered for is him steamrolling someone.

Dave Taylor's origin highlight reel consists solely of him looking absolutely terrified of Luke O'Donnell

They need to cut back on the drink.

Only player ever picked because Fatty said so on the Footy show.

To be fair to Dave, LOD was no wimp. I remember him smashing"noted Tough guy" Mick Croker in the 04 semis to such an extent that Croker was in tears.

Welcome to rugby league, Toronto

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Pot meet Kelttle.
