I googled his nameSACKED rugby league journeyman Dave Taylor could be thrown a sporting lifeline in Australia.
Having been axed by the Toronto Wolfpack last week for breaking curfew, the man dubbed ‘Coal Train’ will be hard pressed finding an NRL contract.
But the Ipswich Jets are prepared to take a gamble on the former Queensland Origin forward who’s played 181 NRL games with four clubs.
Jets coach Shane Walker told NRL.com Taylor would be welcome at the Queensland Cup club.
Walker runs a recruitment company and says he would find Taylor a job and even help him to buy a house to get his life back on track.
“You can be at an NRL club on a minimum wage, or play at the Jets and have a job and earn equally as much without the demands,” Walker said.
“Some of those sort of things we could help provide for Dave if that’s what he wants. We’d certainly be prepared to have a yarn to him.”
Walker has spoken previously about Taylor and the possibility of him becoming a star five-eighth for the Jets.

I want an ounce of whatever it is Shane Walker is smoking
If Dave Taylor gets to play in the NRL again, I hope he becomes the first Canadian to score a try in the NRL.
He will never be a Canadian. He will always be a dumb Australian: fat belly and low IQ.

Do the Canadians not have google?
Perth pirates?Wolfpack have obviously learnt early that no matter how bad a players disciplinary record is it is the done thing as a RL club to throw load so f money at them in the hope that this time they will behave and perform. Name me a club that hasn't done this at some point!
Perth pirates?
I was unaware they played for the Perth Pirates.Mg, Julian o Neil, Shayne McMenemy
Perth is not immune from club stupidity
Ryley Jacks says hi, scored in our Rd 3 game against Brisbane.
They've probably found LU, realised there's better players to spend their money on and found an excuse to make positions availableDo the Canadians not have google?
And here I was thinking the Wolfpack was back causing massive destruction. Guess who's there, the bad boys of rugby league.
Ryley Jacks is the classiest Canadian rugby league player I have ever seen. Pity that he speaks English with an Aussie accent.
By contrast Remi Casty, the classiest French prop forward to ever play in the NRL, spoke English with a heavy French accent.
Haven’t you got another country to surrender to?
