Isn't Taylor from Rocky/CQ area.
That part of the world, yes. A mining town called Blackwater (hence the 'Coal Train' moniker).
Blackwater's not quite Deliverance country, but you can see it from there.

What did Sam Backo do to get on the list?

Well there is the story about the NZ tour when he and Blocker were on the team bus and played a game of trying to pronounce the names of each town they went through as they saw them on either road signs or shop fronts.

Blocker led off with Rotorua. In the next town Sam went "look at this one Blocker taki awayi." The sign at the front of the local fish and chip shop read Take Away.

Tell me Sam does not belong....

I thought the bar was originally dumb, now its crooks.

Surely pearce would oust johns in the dumb department. He would think caesarean is a salad.

Maybe but the half spot was taken and it needed a hooker. Jumping the turnstiles on the Ldn Underground in front of coppers with pingers in your pocket aint smart though. Not sure Pearce has done that (yet).

Anyway it was a suggested team and am sure there are plenty more dumbasses I did not consider for selection.

Falling asleep at an airport?

Hell, I've done that. People do it all the time. What's so bad about that?

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.
In my opinion any NRL club would be foolish to take on Taylor with his past history, and there would be zero chance of Bailey playing in Super League or tier below in the UK.
I think Moimoi will retire 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

I remember him having to dive on a loose ball to score a try for Qld, but instead of doing that he tried to pick it up and swan dive to look spectacular........and dropped it cold.

There is one media report that Fuo's wife is going to leave him as she is sick of his immature shenanigans.

Yeah, she basically said that she knows he cheats on her, and has gotten into bar fights and stuff. Gave him chance after chance, but now has had enough.
I would have had enough a long time ago if I was her.
