Titans can sign all the rep centres and backrowers they like but without competent halves, hooker and fullback they won't be a force.

I just don't see how the Titans need to get more forwards. Surely that isn't there problem at the moment. Silly move from them but he is a talent no doubt.

Spot on. I just don't think Taylor is a need for them. More a luxury and really they shouldn't be after luxuries at the moment.

Uh lol, how? He's joined the maroons and the Four Nations training squad since playing with us. In contrast he was playing reggies football while at Broncos

He was already named in the 2009 Four Nations squad and his Maroons jersey was given to him on the back of his 2009 form where he helped us attain a spot in the prelim finals.

He should be so far ahead of where he is.

He should be but thats his own fault imo. Ran away from the position he should be playing because he didnt want to do the work.

I hope the Tits dont ruin his career.....casue i have this feeling that the place is turning into Souffs of 2002-2011

Agreed. I don't think heading to the Tits will prove a great decision. Broncos or Cows, yeah. But not the Tits.

His attitude was notoriously shit at the Broncos, he was unfit and couldn't make weight most of the time. I saw him smoking ciggies once and wondered why the hell he was squandering his potential.

I think the birth of his son and getting his life sorted out off the field helped more than anything else.

He was actually training the house down in 2009 and was in career best shape but Henjak got the s**ts with him for minor things and sent him to QCup which is why he headed down south. Of course when he came back up, he played career best football but I don't think Souths realised it all came because of the hard work he put in during the off-season, not because he was simply given free reign.

He deserves to take some responsibility, but he wouldn't be the first nor last high maintenance talented rookie.

I can just see him going the way of Joe Tomane - what a waste that was.

Plenty of quality players have been smokers tbh. Wally lewis, Tommy Raudonikis and everyone (it seems) who played in the 60's-80's.

Noone in their right mind would think Sandow was close to one of our best 3 players. He's been replaced by a rookie who missed all of 2011 and we are a better team for it. Sandows place was at risk last year if Reynolds stayed fit.

Name 5 better Souths players than Sandow in 2010

No you didn't, if anything you stagnated his career.
Yep because he got origin jerseys in 2011 because of 2009 form.

Sums up what I was thinking. If the Cows or Broncos signed him it would have made sense.

Searle and Cartwright seem to not understand how to build a roster.
Maybe they'll put Taylor at half back
That'd probably be an improvement for them.
